This paper documents biases in the creation of knowledge through underrepresentation of diverse populations and population groups in the way research is conducted and published, and subsequently, in the way educational resources are developed and delivered. Research that incorporates the experience of distributed population groups will have…

Researchers are increasingly interested in enabling teachers to monitor and adapt gamification design in the context of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). These contributions rely on teachers' needs and preferences to adjust the gamification design according to student performance. This work extends previous studies on teachers' perception of…

In higher education, a primary concern with online learning versus in-person learning centers on offering and facilitating effective communication and collaboration opportunities for students. New technologies, specifically free and open source system (FOSS) applications, help bridge these gaps by giving instructors and students the means to…

The Zhuang Tianqin Ceremony, a traditional ritual of the Zhuang people in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, represents a harmonious blend of music, spirituality, and cultural identity centered on the Tianqin, a plucked musical instrument. This study investigates the educational literacy development in the transmission of the Zhuang Tianqin…

Self-directed learning (SDL) is integral to medical education. It helps in fostering critical thinking, independence, and problem-solving skills. With advancements in technology, digital tools like search engines, interactive content, and large language model (LLM) chatbots have become supplementary tools to traditional materials such as…

Tech use in teaching and learning has been considered as a contributory factor aiding academic success. Its lack in rural schools has also been considered as a hindrance to quality education. This study through a qualitative method explored the intersection of innovation and technology use as well as the challenges of disconnection. This was done…

Tertiary education plays a pivotal role in shaping future-proof science education as it provides strong theoretical foundation to advance knowledge and foster innovation. In the context of post-pandemic education, exploring preservice science teachers' perspectives on how they envision science education can be relevant in an increasingly complex,…

From the sustainability paradigm, schools are currently committed to offering inclusive education for everyone. Nonetheless, certain forms of lack of attention to the diversity of needs in some education systems are observed, which imply situations of exclusion and barriers to providing quality education. It is precisely for this reason that the…

Many universities and colleges worldwide switched to virtual learning due to the coronavirus pandemic, and classroom course delivery was generally discontinued. The present cross-sectional study aimed to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of African students' academic performance using virtual learning as a…

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionary technologies extensively used in science education. However, there has been insufficient discussion of teachers' expertise in using VR/AR. This study explored how pre-service teachers use VR/AR technology in science education based on the technological pedagogical and content…

The study examined Nigeria Science and Mathematics Teachers' intention towards adopting the CL4STEM technology-based instructional (OER) modules to enhance higher-order thinking with Inclusion and Equity (HOTIE). The study adopted a descriptive correlational design. The population of the study was all mathematics and science teachers in some…

This exploratory piece is intended to set the stage for an ongoing conversation about Open Educational Resources (OER). The current OER landscape has hundreds of repositories and thousands of curated guides and lists for finding OER--few of which "talk" to each other behind the scenes, resulting in separate and often redundant resources…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy is essential for society as a whole. While general frameworks and resources to support self-directed learning on AI are widely available, research on how to support AI educators, particularly those without AI expertise (non-experts), using external materials and resources is relatively scarce. This article…

Background: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to reflect holistically on the experiences gained in the past few years. We thus review research on remote mathematics teaching in Pre-K-12 contexts, utilising Activity Theory as a theoretical lens for research synthesis. Objectives: Drawing from a comprehensive overview of the…

The examination of the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) on higher education, especially from the viewpoint of students, is gaining significance. Although prior research has underscored GenAI's potential advantages in higher education, there exists a discernible research gap concerning the determinants that affect its adoption. In the present study,…
