This study aims to make an in-depth analysis of the prevalence and nature of the phenomenon of Internet use in teaching. The selected grades are grades VI to grade IX which in the literature are known as lower secondary education. The researcher has used the mixed method model, including qualitative and quantitative research strategies. The study…

The purpose of this study was to examine the application of Augmented Reality (AR) Application in the Geography lesson of Primary School. The application covered the Earth's atmosphere and was evaluated by 71 students in the sixth grade of primary school who completed questionnaires before and after the educational intervention. The results were…

We apply an advanced data visualization technique, "Sankey diagram," to explore how middle-school students (N = 343) solved problems in a game-based algebraic notation tool. The results indicate that there is a large variation in the types of students' strategies to solve the problems, with some approaches being more efficient than…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of online peer feedback in the Information Technologies and Software course on the improvement of collaborative problem-solving skills (CPS), which are considered essential skills for the 21st century. The impact of peer feedback on CPS was designed using a mixed-methods approach that combines…

Opportunities for students to share their thinking with the class--which I refer to as "work-sharing practices--require a profound shift in who is positioned with intellectual authority in mathematics classrooms. This study explores work-sharing practices in one sixth grade mathematics classroom through an interactional lens. Video analysis…

During the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced teachers to shift their instruction online, further exacerbating the challenges for teachers in orchestrating rich mathematics discussions. To tackle this issue, this study explored an approach that integrates online video-sharing culture (e.g., YouTube) into mathematical practices.…

In "The No Significant Differences Phenomenon," Russell (1999) discusses a thought-provoking pattern of research findings regarding integrating educational technology into classroom instruction that started in 1928 and continues today. Finding few studies that resulted in measurable positive effects, Russell concluded that using…

This paper explores how learning analytics data provided by a math problem-solving educational technology platform informed 5th and 6th grade teachers' instructional decisions around socioemotional learning (SEL). MathSpring is an educational technology tool that provides teachers with data on students' effort, progress, and emotions while…

Mobile devices are being intensively used by the Portuguese youth in their daily life, but not in school activities. Despite this gap, research shows that technology can promote student learning in non-high education contexts. This paper comprises a survey study where mobile learning is analyzed through the eyes of 244 students attending the 2nd…

Wearable technology offers teachers opportunity to adapt to the dynamic nature of a learning environment. This paper investigates three teachers use of a wearable technology (i.e., the Apple Watch © within three separate design experiences. First, we designed a notification system within the messaging system, to notify teachers of student work.…

Historically, learning for young students has occurred in formal, in-person classroom environments, but the distance learning context has opened a myriad of learning modalities. To this end, we aim to better understand how deploying learning experience design (LXD) approach supports or hinders children's engagement while participating in an…

This paper discusses a novel approach for developing more refined and accurate learner models from student data collected from Open Ended Learning Environments (OELEs). OELEs provide students choice in how they go about constructing solutions to problems, and students exhibit a variety of learning behaviors in such environments. Building accurate…

The interactional role of language use in the mathematics classroom is explored in the last few decades. This paper adds to the knowledge base by exploring different ways of talking that children and their teacher use in a New Zealand primary geometry English-medium classroom. Bakhtin's concept of speech genres is used for an analysing transcript…

Within the last decade, different educational data mining techniques, particularly quantitative methods such as clustering, and regression analysis are widely used to analyze the data from educational games. In this research, we implemented a quantitative data mining technique (clustering) to further investigate students' feedback. Students played…

Recent work describes methods for systematic, data-driven improvement to instructional content and calls for diverse teams of learning engineers to implement and evaluate such improvements. Focusing on an approach called "design-loop adaptivity," we consider the problem of how developers might use data to target or prioritize particular…
