"Applications" of knowledge symbolically and structurally "codify" thinking, often displacing the human who is relegated to passive, routine reproduction of operations and left with no space or time to understand or question the relations underlying the processes. This is both mirrored and augmented by the schematic narrowing…

The rise of Artificial Intelligence technology has raised concerns about the potential compromise of privacy due to the handling of personal data. Private AI prevents cybercrimes and falsehoods and protects human freedom and trust. While Federated Learning offers a solution by model training across decentralized devices or servers, thereby…

Much of the literature on artificial intelligence (AI) in education imagines AI as a tool in the service of teaching and learning. Is such a one-way relationship all that exists between AI and learners? In this paper we report on a thematic analysis of 92 participant responses to a story completion exercise which asked them to describe a classroom…

Purpose: This study aims to understand how practitioners use their insights in software development models to share experiences within and between organizations. Design/methodology/approach: This is a qualitative study of practitioners in software development projects, in large-, medium- or small-size businesses. It analyzes interview material in…

Modern Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and open-source software (OSS) have revolutionized our ability to access and process data, enabling us to tackle increasingly complex problems and challenges. While these technologies provide substantial benefits, they often expose users to vulnerabilities that can severely damage individuals and…

Modern life is increasingly influenced by networks, making cybersecurity a crucial area of study. However, due to their few resources and varied makeup, they are more vulnerable to a wide range of cyber-attacks. Such risks result in sensitive information being stolen as well as financial and reputational harm to firms. How far malicious detection…

Pair programming (PP) can help improve students' computational thinking (CT), but the trajectory of CT skills and the differences between high-scoring and low-scoring students in PP are unknown and need further exploration. In this study, a total of 32 fifth graders worked on Scratch tasks in 16 pairs. The group discourse of three learning topics…

Opting to homeschool children is a growing trend worldwide. However, surprisingly, there is a dearth of research on understanding how digital technologies are used by learners who opt for homeschooling. Thus, in the present study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten homeschoolers in the United States to examine: (1) how digital…

Analyzing qualitative data from learning processes is considered "messy" and time consuming (Chi in J Learn Sci 6(3):271-315, 1997). It is often challenging to summarize and synthesize such data in a manner that conveys the richness and complexity of learning processes in a clear and concise manner. Moreover, qualitative data often…

Information technology contributes to the transformation of the learning process because it changes the traditional system of teaching, based on outdated methodologies. The paper examined the current technologies used in music education in the context of learning process improvements in China. A sociological survey was conducted using the Stapel…

Bibliometric mapping is widely used in educational technology research to visualize research field development (e.g. the current status and trend). However, there has been limited research examining the present state, challenges, and potential applications of bibliometric mapping techniques in the field of educational technology. In an effort to…

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the impact of technology on student foreign language learning, as it has been widely used to enhance language instruction over the past few decades. This multivariate meta--meta-analysis study aimed to examine the effects of technology on various aspects of language learning, including listening,…

The rapid expansion of the knowledge society, due mainly to the ubiquity and access of information and communication technology (ICT), places a professional demand on teachers to acquire relevant knowledge to make use of technology in their classrooms. Thus, for teachers to effectively integrate ICT into their teaching repertoire, they must…

This study explores the correlation between technology utilization and language acquisition while analyzing the impact of moderating variables on this relation. Our meta-analysis approach analyzes data from 43 extracts out of 19 primary studies published between 2012 and 2021. Our data analysis employs a random-effect model utilizing a…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of educational technologies, Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) stands out as a transformative tool for teaching and learning. The learner must actively engage, particularly when visual and auditory knowledge information is presented simultaneously. Generative learning strategies support learners in processing and…
