This study developed a Learning Materials Repository Hub (LMRH) to digitize educational resources for the K-12 education system, addressing the need for centralized, high-quality, and accessible learning materials. Using a developmental research approach, Graduate School students created Digitized Learning Materials (DLMs) aligned with the Most…

In the post-COVID-19 era, information education with highly interactive teaching methods has become increasingly common. In particular, the metaverse and virtual reality (VR) technology can be used in novel learning methods to leverage the intuitiveness, immersivity, and interactivity of VR. For example, students could use VR to simulate…

This study introduces a novel Connectivist model for professional development (PD) aimed at enhancing AI literacy among bilingual/ESL teachers in K-12 education. As AI technologies rapidly reshape educational landscapes, effective PD programs are essential to equip educators with the skills to integrate AI responsibly and equitably. Grounded in…

In this brief, authors Namsoo Shin, Kevin Haudek, and Joseph Krajcik explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a transformative learning partner in K-12 STEM education. They describe theoretical foundations of using AI in STEM education and the importance of fostering an integrated understanding of STEM content. The brief examines AI's…

In this brief, the authors Jeremy Price and Shuchi Grover explore the exciting possibilities and critical challenges of generative AI (GenAI) for STEM teaching. They examine how GenAI may shape STEM classrooms in the near future and identify promising trajectories for integrating GenAI into STEM teaching, including the potential for personalized…
