Jinbo Tan; Kinshuk; Lei Wu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
The role of creativity has been well recognized in wholesome development of children's personality and attitude. Among various approaches to foster creativity in children, design thinking (DT) has emerged as a significant approach. The study presented in this paper explores the implementation of DT into maker education to help K-12 students…

Yanjun Zhang; Yanping Liang; Xiaohong Tian; Xiao Yu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Due to its task-based, gamified, and interactive features, unplugged programming activity has been widely employed in education and teaching as an activity away from electronic screens and other digital devices. There is ongoing debate over how to help K-9 pupils develop their computational thinking through unplugged programming activities. Based…

Chen, Min; Zhou, Chi; Meng, Caiyun; Wu, Di – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
In China, teachers' ability to adopt information and communication technology (ICT) when teaching is far from satisfying. Previous studies on teachers' ability to integrate ICT and teaching in China ignored the factors in the process of teachers' ICT application and lacked the systematic analysis of the factors. ICT application is affected by…

Glazewski, Krista D.; Ertmer, Peggy A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Complex problem solving is an effective means to engage students in disciplinary content while also furnishing critical non-cognitive and life skills. Despite increased adoption of complex problem-solving methods in K-12 classrooms today (e.g., case-, project-, or problem-based learning), we know little about how to make these approaches…

Slof, B.; Erkens, G.; Kirschner, P.; Jaspers, J. G. M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This study investigated the effects of representational scripting on non-expert student learning while collaboratively carrying out complex learning-tasks. The premise underlying this research is that effective cognitive activities would be evoked when complex learning-tasks are structured into phase-related part-tasks and are supported by…

Liu, Min; Horton, Lucas; Olmanson, Justin; Toprac, Paul – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
This study examines middle school students' learning and motivation as they engaged in a new media enriched problem-based learning (PBL) environment for middle school science. Using a mixed-method design with both quantitative and qualitative data, we investigated the effect of a new media environment on sixth graders' science learning, their…

Hung, Wei-Chen; Smith, Thomas J.; Harris, Marian S.; Lockard, James – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This study adopted design and development research methodology (Richey & Klein, "Design and development research: Methods, strategies, and issues," 2007) to systematically investigate the process of applying instructional design principles, human-computer interaction, and software engineering to a performance support system (PSS) for behavior…

Kopcha, Theodore J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
The purpose of this article is to present a systems-based mentoring model of technology integration that follows a research-based path. The model moves teachers through four specific stages of technology adoption toward using technology to support learning in more student-centered ways. The model describes how a mentor can negotiate the interplay…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Liang, Tsung-Ho; Su, Yen-Ning; Chen, Nian-Shing – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
Today various types of tablet computers are used, including iPad and Android Tablets. These individual portable digital devices can be used as e-book readers to support mobile personalized learning. Though many studies have investigated e-books by targeting undergraduate students, yet less attention has been paid to children. Therefore, an…

Bottge, Brian A.; Rueda, Enrique; Kwon, Jung Min; Grant, Timothy; LaRoque, Perry – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
The purpose of this randomized experiment was to compare the performance of high-, average-, and low-achieving middle school students who were assessed with parallel versions of a computer-based test (CBT) or a paper-pencil test (PPT). Tests delivered in interactive, immersive environments like the CBT may have the advantage of providing teachers…

Wang, Chin-Chiang; Ku, Heng-Yu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
The purpose of this study was to identify the components of a framework for affective education implementation based on a positive psychology approach. A fifth grade class of 31 students in a public rural elementary school in Taiwan participated in a 13-week long affective education course that consisted of six units: Self-discovery, Love and…

Pedersen, Susan; Arslanyilmaz, Abdurrahman; Williams, Douglas – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
Teachers' implementation of a problem-based learning (PBL) program was examined to determine both how they assessed student learning and their reasons for these assessment practices. Ten 6th grade science teachers used Alien Rescue, a computer-based PBL module, with their students for approximately three weeks. Interviews, observations, and…

Hannafin, Robert D.; Foshay, Wellesley R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
Patriot High School (PHS) adopted a remediation strategy to help its 10th-grade students at risk of failing the Math portion of MCAS, the state's end of year competency exam. The centerpiece of that strategy was a computer-based instructional (CBI) course. PHS used a commercially available CBI product to align the course content with the…

Khan, S. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
This research assessed the value of case study methodology in the design of an educational computer simulation. Three sources of knowledge were compared to assess the value of case study: practitioner and programmer knowledge, disciplinary knowledge, and knowledge obtained from a case study of teacher practice. A retrospective analysis revealed…
