Hunhui Na; Saeyan Yun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Augmented Reality (AR) has been continuously adopted in K-12 settings, showing its beneficial impact. Despite numerous studies highlighting the benefit of AR that can enhance students' motivation, no meta-analysis providing an in-depth look into AR's impact on students' motivation has been conducted, particularly in K-12 settings. In this…

Lee, Dabae; Huh, Yeol; Lin, Chun-Yi; Reigeluth, Charles M.; Lee, Eunbae – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
The Every Student Succeeds Act supports personalized learning (PL) to close achievement gaps of diverse K-12 learners in the United States. Implementing PL into a classroom entails a paradigm change of the educational system. However, it is demanding to transform traditional practice into a personalized one under the pressure of the annual…

Lee, Eunbae; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
Student-centered learning (SCL) identifies students as the owners of their learning. While SCL is increasingly discussed in K-12 and higher education, researchers and practitioners lack current and comprehensive framework to design, develop, and implement SCL. We examine the implications of theory and research-based evidence to inform those who…

An, Yunjo; Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Yang, Junhe; Conan, Jenna; Kinard, Widad; Daughrity, LeaAnne – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
This mixed-methods study explored K-12 teachers' feelings, experiences, and perspectives regarding online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also examined teachers' perspectives of the "new normal" after COVID-19 and of what should be done to better prepare teachers for future emergencies. Both quantitative and qualitative…

Higashi, Ross M.; Schunn, Christian D.; Flot, Jesse B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
Free online courses, including Massively Open Online Courses, have great potential to increase the inclusiveness of education, but suffer from very high course dropout rates. A study of 172 K-12 students and 114 K-12 teachers taking the same free, online, summertime programming course finds that student and teacher populations have different…

Leslie, Kimberley Crompton; Low, Renae; Jin, Putai; Sweller, John – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
Two experiments using the science topics of Magnetism and Light were conducted with younger learners (Year 5) who had no prior knowledge of the topics, and older learners (Year 6) who had studied the topics previously. Half of the learners were presented the information in auditory form only while the other half were presented the auditory…

Abramovich, Samuel; Schunn, Christian; Higashi, Ross Mitsuo – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Educational Badges are touted as an alternative assessment that can increase learner motivation. We considered two distinct models for educational badges; merit badges and videogame achievements. To begin unpacking the relationship between badges and motivation, we conducted a study using badges within an intelligent-tutor system for teaching…

Baytak, Ahmet; Land, Susan M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
This study employed a case study design (Yin, "Case study research, design and methods," 2009) to investigate the processes used by 5th graders to design and develop computer games within the context of their environmental science unit, using the theoretical framework of "constructionism." Ten fifth graders designed computer games using "Scratch"…
