Differentiated instruction (DI) is a teaching approach that aims to achieve learning for diverse students. This study reports on promoting STEM teacher candidates' (TCs') implementation of technology-enhanced DI in teacher education courses. The research questions are: (1) How do TCs develop digital video games (DVGs) to be inclusive of DI?, and…

This study explores an instructor's self-directed use of web-based learning to complement his students' learning needs. The study drew on qualitative analyses of a Chinese university English reading instructor's reflections and interviews, his students' reflections, and his field notes of the students' learning. The study shows that although the…

This study applies a time-driven approach to model self-regulated learning (SRL) on the basis of elapsed time metrics in the context of open-ended learning environments (OELEs), specifically, network-based tutors. In doing so, we examine how students allocated attentional resources to distinct phases of SRL as a measure of depth of information…

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances technologically, it will inevitably bring many changes to classroom practices. However, research on AI in education reflects a weak connection to pedagogical perspectives or instructional approaches, particularly in K-12 education. AI technologies may benefit motivated and advanced students. Understanding…

Procedural knowledge learning focuses on integrating theory with practice; however, time and pace are the main critical issues. In response, this study proposes a flipped classroom approach based on the Bandura's [1986. The explanatory and predictive scope of self-efficacy theory. "Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology,"…

THigher education system has been globally evolving over time with the development of courses that offer distance online models of delivery to meet the changing needs of students in an era of technology-driven transformation. However, one of the biggest challenges of distance online education has been higher attrition rates mostly due to…

The new pedagogical opportunities that massive open online course (MOOC) learning environments offer for the teaching of fee-paying students on university-accredited courses are of growing interest to educators. This paper presents a case study from a postgraduate-taught course at the Open University, UK, where a MOOC performed the dual role of a…

As universities seek to bolster enrollment through distance education, faculty are tasked with maintaining comparable teaching/learning standards in traditional, blended, and online courses. Research has shown that there is an achievement gap between students taking courses exclusively offered online versus those enrolled in face-to-face classes.…

Recent applications of technology to mathematics education have been designed with cognitive and constructivist theoretical perspectives in mind, viewing mathematical learning as the acquisition of knowledge through the construction of meanings and connections between concepts. With the advent of increasingly flexible communication technologies,…
