Assessment and feedback is an area where mathematical sciences departments have invested significant effort in recent times. Particular challenges have been identified relating to timely and detailed feedback, both of which are important given the widespread use of formative, and typically weekly, problem sheet assessments to aid and structure the…

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures across the country have altered the way educators teach and provide services to students. Engaging technologies in learning environments have become the primary mechanism delivering curriculum and maintaining the intellectual wellbeing of students. With the accelerated expansion of technologies…

This study examined participatory simulation-based learning of teaching in a virtual reality (VR) supported learning environment and its affordance for alternative perspectives taking. This VR-supported, embodiment-integrated learning environment is designed to enable collaborative and contextualized microteaching practicing by university teaching…

Although it is a relatively new innovation, 360 videos have gained commercial and public popularity. Given their novelty, there is a relative dearth of studies on their effectiveness. Most of the existing research is published as technical articles dealing with standards and specifications, as theoretical pieces promoting the potential value, or…

There is a continued push to address issues of inequity that arise from being able to access educational technology (edtech). Yet, despite these efforts, stakeholders including developers, teachers, and administrators have not yet coalesced around the meaning of the term 'access' as related to edtech. For this study, we conducted interviews with…

Learning area integrated teaching, teaching unit topics and the contents of various subjects with team teaching and cooperative learning to have students learn better integrated concepts, is emphasized domestically. Nevertheless, it is discovered that subject-specific teaching is still used in living technology teaching area. The integration and…

We experimentally assessed the efficacy of two online instructional methods, guided inquiry and video, on learning and conceptual change, while also examining the relationship of student characteristics to these outcomes. Results indicate an interaction between mindset and instructional method for learning; additional learner characteristics may…

Online higher education has become more popular and available than at any other time; however, persistence rates lag behind traditional education rates. To address this problem, self-regulation can be used as a strategy to improve student performance and learning. To support self-regulation, a variety of technological tools are available to…

This article considers how the development of for-profit artificial intelligence (AI) technologies fosters the privatization of public education and erodes the values and practices of democratic education. The introduction situates the advent of digital technologies in the context of the structural economic and ideological shifts of the past 40…

In light of the UK government's decision to make first aid education mandatory in schools, this article adds to the body of evidence to inform the implementation of this decision. Our research aimed to explore whether providing extra support to teachers increased their confidence to teach first aid, and whether this support influenced student…

Creating a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) based on analysis from research requires the adaptation of MOOC pedagogies. For example, course designers need to follow certain design principles and adapt learning content to the pedagogies and constraints of a MOOC platform. That said, this paper outlines five different learning design principles…

In our current society, Digital Competence is an essential and basic competence for teachers. The students need trained teachers who know how to use Information and communication technologies (ICTs) and develop them into pedagogy. However, some of them do not know how. This phenomena is called "The generational digital divide", which…

The problem that the study is aimed at is due to the need to change forms and methods of professional self-determination support for students in the digital society in order to prepare them for obtaining the specialization that is in demand and for the formation of the ability "to be able to learn" throughout the life. The purpose of the…

Purpose: Weighting of acoustic cues for perceiving placeof-articulation speech contrasts was measured to determine the separate and interactive effects of age and use of cochlear implants (CIs). It has been found that adults with normal hearing (NH) show reliance on fine-grained spectral information (e.g., formants), whereas adults with CIs show…

Mobile phone is increasingly widespread among University students, while different factors can affect students' behavior towards the use and acceptance of mobile technology. One of the methods to measure these factors is the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Behavioral…
