Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) made substantial progress with language recognition. Proficiency in spoken English reading is a prerequisite for fluency in written English. However, research on its use, especially for non-native speakers, is lacking despite increased usage. Objectives: This study aimed to enhance the oral reading fluency…

Background: Rhythm is the fundamental element of music and one of the indispensable aspects of training in music education, making it highly valued. However, due to the limitations of teaching hours and the large number of students in each class, it is difficult to foster the rhythm ability of elementary school students. Objectives: Hence, this…

This study examines the impact of interactive reading instructional software (IRIS) on the reading speed of first-grade elementary students. Using a single-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design, the research involved 21 days of interactive reading lessons. Observations during the implementation phase helped evaluate the influence of…

Teachers' perceptions of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) profoundly influence how children experience ICT-supported activities in kindergartens. In China, given that the adoption of ICT in educational settings has been part of national development goals, kindergarten teachers' perceptions of it deserve more in-depth…

It is assumed that digital tools with ubiquitous classroom use have affordances for student agency and a range of social skills. However, few studies have explored the generalised impact of everyday digital classrooms on self-regulation and empathy, perspective taking and prosocial skills. Ten and 11 year old students' (n = 115) ratings of…

This study is related to the transfer of the header motor skill in soccer from a virtual reality (VR) sport's training to the real world. A total of 61 children (37 females) between 9 and 11 years of age were distributed into three groups: a control group without training; a second group that was trained in an original VR environment developed by…

The use of technology-based self monitoring (SM) interventions is becoming more popular, increasing the likelihood that SM interventions will have greater contextual fit within classrooms. SM has resulted in increases in desired school behaviors, such as increases in on task behavior, academic performance, and task completion for students…

Extended reality technologies -- mixed, augmented, and virtual reality, and future-related technologies -- are rapidly expanding in many fields, with underexplored potentials for multimodal composition in digital media environments. This research generates new knowledge about the novel wearable technology -- smart glasses -- to support elementary…

Background/purpose. The increasing prevalence of digital tools in education necessitates models that enhance students' metacognitive skills. Despite this need, limited research exists on structured pedagogical approaches to foster metacognition within digital learning contexts. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the Cognitive Innovation…

This paper reports an exploratory pilot study--which is part of a larger study--examining the impact of an innovative approach to enhancing the writing skills of primary school students with dyslexia, digital storytelling (DST), linked to critical and cultural learning. The study adopted a single-subject design with a pre-experimental approach…

This investigation explores the relationship between the use of digital pencil and mathematical problem-solving accuracy among 1,530 students with learning disabilities (LD) and 25,400 general education (GE) peers from the 2017 digital National Assessment of Educational Progress mathematics assessment. The term "digital pencil" in this…

Digital modules typically refer to self-contained units of online learning materials designed for specific topics or learning objectives. The researcher developed digital modules for three specific math units and conducted a three-week experiment in six schools in three districts of Punjab. The purpose of the study was to find the effectiveness of…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the methods of training future teachers to use information and virtual tools to work with younger students with intellectual disabilities. Background: The relevance of training future teachers to work with students with intellectual disabilities is quite high today. This is explained by the…

Background: AR allows users to experience a digital world that blends seamlessly with the physical world, creating an immersive and interactive experience. This is directly in line with the principles of Situated Learning Theory (SLT) that aim to put students in authentic situations in which they can be actively immersed in real-world activities.…

This report focuses on Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's 2022-2023 implementation of "My Math Academy" with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students across its 17 elementary schools. Students' program usage has been associated with significant improvements on CIRCLE Progress Monitoring Assessment System (pre-K) and on…
