At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a mass shift to online, virtual, and hybrid learning. Soon thereafter, educators and researchers realized that the pandemic would result in significant paradigm shifts in teaching and learning as classrooms moved into online and hybrid spaces. Two years later, very little change has occurred in…

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) implementation in education is a national priority in Bhutan, particularly as it relates to the STEM disciplines. Researchers at Samtse College of Education introduced 19 experienced secondary school mathematics and physics teachers to The Geometers' Sketchpad and GeoGebra in two workshops. At the end…

Flipped Learning (FL) has emerged as an essential instructional approach in tertiary education. A common misconception is that FL is highly dependent on the use of video. Educators have the choice to flip content with learning interactions such as interactive slides, a timeline of events, infographics or even image sliders. H5P is an open-source…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of IXL Math online software for homework in raising the achievement of middle-school students on the New York State Math exam, with special focus on effects by student ethnicity. The study includes an analysis of the relationship between exam scale scores and time spent using the IXL…

This study examines the data of students from the United States (n = 2,592) who participated in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The purpose of this study is to probe the relationship between students' use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their academic performance in mathematics and science.…

The flipped classroom pedagogy has gained prominence in various educational contexts by reorganising the lectures of content knowledge via instructional videos, and squeezing in more time for class activities. Although there have been numerous studies of the design, implementation, and evaluation of the flipped approach, their outcomes varied in…

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the online learning platform Brilliant.org in improving the academic performance of 60 tenth-grade students from four public schools in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. A quasi-experimental design with two groups will be used: an experimental group that will use Brilliant.org platform to learn…

This article focuses on integration of the technology of iSENSE into the secondary education as a teaching and learning tool to design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The objective of each lesson was to use this application to achieve redefinition, create new tasks previously inconceivable, and transform…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate the relationship between teachers' conceptions of mathematics and their use of intelligent tutoring systems for mathematics instruction. Intelligent tutoring systems are adaptive computer programs which administer mathematics instruction to students based on their cognitive state. A…

In this work we present the design of a computer-based environment aimed at engaging primary school children in argumentative practices while solving a story problem. Argumentation has been regarded from two points of view, both as a process and as a product. Students, using the collaborative tools offered by the platform, co-constructed shared…

Though today's problems are interconnected, complicated, and unpredictable, students continue to gain knowledge in discrete, standardized disciplinary silos. When subject integration is discussed in STEM and STEAM (STEM + Arts) literature, there is little consensus on what constitutes or should constitute integration of the disciplines.…

With ongoing efforts in the United States to further develop the availability of computer science education in the public schools, federal, state, and local educational agencies are increasing efforts to encourage and promote the inclusion of computer science and programming skills in the middle school curriculum (Grover, Pea, & Cooper, 2015).…

This proceeding paper will report about a study that investigated how a group of elementary school teachers responded to a professional development training on Science and Technology as demonstrated in their perceived preparedness and comfort with teaching science, and their subsequent implementation with K-4 students. The results from the study…

A common problem in many schools is the lack of equipment and materials in their science laboratories due to both limited budget available to the school and high maintenance cost of the lab. The latest technological advancements provide great opportunities for schools to go over the budget and cost issues by using 3D virtual learning environments…

Argumentative and proving skills are considered key competencies in mathematics. Collaborative learning activities, by fostering students' production of conjectures and arguments, could contribute strongly to the development of these skills. In this paper, we present the design of a e-learning collaborative environment, whose goal is to promote in…
