The German national educational standards state explicitly that students should be enabled to successfully interact with dynamic geometry software. In a feasibility study on providing a standardized assessment instrument by digital means, in order to assess students' mathematical competencies, the implementation of a task with such a dynamic…

The broad approach to using Generative AI in K-12 schooling focuses on identifying risks and productivity gains rather than the more complex issues of transformational change. As a response, this study examined how school leaders considered Gen AI transformation within their disciplines. Ten subject leaders were interviewed about their pedagogical…

Despite significant capability deprivation existing among the teachers in historically disadvantaged schools in the Western Cape province of South Africa, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have had a significant positive effect on teaching and learning. In the case study reported on here we investigated the benefits of using ICTs…

This Spotlight explores the potential of AI to enhance teaching and learning, while also addressing considerations for responsible implementation. From using AI to deliver instruction with human guidance and exploring its impact on standardized testing to providing targeted professional development on AI, these articles offer valuable…

This study examines the contribution that generative AI (ChatGPT) can make to the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) of mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) when addressing pedagogical and mathematical events. The study involved 15 experienced MTEs who were tasked with planning training sessions for elementary school teachers. The…

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is seen as a promising tool to enhance learning outcomes and provide students with engaging learning environments in developing countries such as Colombia. This case study aimed to investigate teachers' perceptions of AI in K-12 education in public schools located in the Amazonian…

This study evaluates TeacherServer, a generative AI platform for educators, focusing on its effectiveness and usability. Using the Teachers' Acceptance of AI in Education (TAAI) framework, it assesses teachers' perceptions before and after workshops with 148 K-12 teachers from Florida. Results show a notable improvement in teachers' acceptance of…

In the teaching of math-fact automaticity, most classroom teachers are unaware of research-based practices such as the use of a controlled response time, the scaffolded teaching of individual math facts, the limiting of exposure to new math facts, the separation of math facts with common operands, and even the definition of automaticity. As a…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in educational environments presents creative chances to improve mathematics education in elementary schools. This mixed-method study investigates the use of artificial intelligence tools in elementary mathematics classrooms. Complementing qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, the…

This study explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in K-12 student assessment practices, focusing on educators' use of AI tools. Through content analysis of active Facebook groups dedicated to AI in education, the authors examined how educators integrate AI into assessment across various grade levels and subjects. Using the Technology…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of technology support, teachers' confidence in using technology, their beliefs about using technology, and their perceived skills on the use of instructional and application software. The data we used were from 1335 K-12 teachers involved in the Technology Uses and Perceptions Survey (TUPS)…

Comprehensive school health education (HE), despite its link to enhancing both student health and academic achievement, often faces barriers to effective implementation. As pedagogical strategies evolve to integrate traditional methods with technological innovations like artificial intelligence (AI), the adoption of innovation in HE preparation…

Recent research on learning analytics dashboards has focused on designing user interfaces that offer various forms of "visualization guidance" (often referring to notions such as "data storytelling" or "narrative visualization") to teachers (e.g., emphasizing data points or trends with colour and adding annotations),…

The lack of student learning motivation and teacher difficulties in monitoring student learning progress is considered to be the main problems in distance learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed action research methods by involving 20 teachers in several elementary schools in Semarang City spread across several…

Digital literacy competence (DL) is an important capacity for students' learning in a rapidly changing world. However, little is known about the empirical structure of DL. In this paper, we review major DL assessment frameworks and explore the dimensionality of DL from an empirical perspective using assessment data collected using authentic…
