This paper outlines the design and application of a didactic sequence aimed at facilitating primary students' understanding of axial symmetry, utilizing a combination of digital artefacts and paper tasks. We wondered to what extent the designed didactic sequence is able to make primary school students formulate and validate effective programming…

The settings of education have undergone several alterations in such a way that the modes of instruction are one of the obvious results of this change. Therefore, it was inevitable that TPACK would resurface, and EFL teachers had to carefully examine and record the levels of TPACK considering the modifications that occurred prior to, during, and…

The purpose of this study is to identify the difference between elementary pupils' higher order thinking skill (HOTS) in an environment learning using a variety of resources in a local culture-based learning. HOTS differences between those who use printed and electronic learning resources after controlling self-regulated learning pupil. This is an…

The present study compared teachers' acceptance of online and augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) technology in instruction, employing an extended technology acceptance model (eTAM). The authors included four influencing factors for teachers' technology integration (teachers' technological pedagogical and content knowledge [TPACK],…

The purpose of this study was to provide a quantitative comparative analysis of public and private school teachers' perceptions of the level of support they received during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like previous pandemics, such as the Spanish Flu, the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event that will also be recorded in history books. Society,…

The Analects of Confucius has been identified as an important and influential philosophy around the globe. However, in traditional instruction, it is difficult to express the spirit of this philosophy. Therefore, many students consider it as a big challenge to study the Analects of Confucius. To cope with this problem, in this study, an…

In this paper, the effects of the online learning of the mathematical area of divisibility are studied, by comparing the achievements of students who have learned this mathematical topic in the online and in-class environments. Data for this study were collected in seven schools at the beginning of the seventh grade of elementary education, with…

The integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-based digital learning has shown a significant impact on enhancing the 6C skills (character, citizenship, critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, and communication) of elementary school students. This quasi-experimental study, involving 200 participants from…

Background/Context: Video-based professional learning (PL) models for math and science teachers have gained prominence over the past two decades (Borko, Koellner, Jacobs, & Seago, 2011; Sherin, 2003), with demonstrated impacts on teacher and student outcomes (Sun & van Es, 2015; Kersting, Givvin, Sotelo, & Stigler, 2010; Kersting,…

This study examined the impact of using a digital learning resource, Imagine Language + Literacy (IL+L), on elementary students' reading growth over the course of a single school year as measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. Reading progress while using the program was compared to a baseline year during which traditional…

This dissertation consists of three papers. In each paper, I leverage a different quantitative method to study a downstream effect of technology on educational outcomes. In the first paper, I study the impact of an online math learning program on 3rd through 5th grade math achievement in Louisiana. Employing Zearn Math usage metrics and…

Background: There has been little Southern African research attention on the potentials of m-learning to support quality mathematics learning for young children and their caring adults. This article argues that m-learning research has shifted from claims of being promising to claims of effect in educational settings of both classrooms and homes.…

The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled K-12 schools and districts across the United States to quickly pivot to distance learning. This disruption to traditional in-person instruction required shifts in district leadership and teacher pedagogy. Previous research has shown that teachers must be provided with learning and supportive environments that…

The traditional laboratory investigation uses a procedure written on paper; students then record their responses on a supplied data page or laboratory notebook. In an attempt to make this process more efficient, the use of a Learning Management System (in this case D2L) was used to present the material and collect student feedback. Each student…

Math underachievement is of grave concern with 42% of 4th grade and 36% of 8th grade students achieving at a proficient or advanced level in mathematics, and schools are continually searching for interventions to implement with struggling students. The problem addressed in this study is recently an elementary school purchased access to…
