This research aims to reveal the effects of using augmented reality applications on seventh-grade secondary school students' academic achievement and motivation and to identify students' views on augmented reality applications. For this purpose, the augmented reality application called "CellAR" has been developed for the "Cell and…

There is increasing educational interest in immersive virtual reality (IVR) applications which aid student learning and performance. However, few empirical studies have investigated the potential for implementing the technology in middle-school social studies classrooms. This study employed a quasi-experimental approach to address this issue,…

Given the rapid rate at which educational technology is continually evolving compounded by the rapid transition to digital learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and its aftermath, this research seeks to understand how one-to-one Chromebooks impact a variety of facets of the middle school science classroom. In three separate, yet related…

The study implements and investigates an innovative learning approach that incorporates Flipped Classroom (FC) methodologies and electronic assessment (e-assessment) in Context-Based Learning (CBL) in chemistry among middle school students. The study incorporated mixed methods strategies and (a) examined learners' attitudes toward and perceptions…

The purpose of this ex-post facto quantitative study was to compare English Language Arts (ELA) and math Tennessee Compressive Assessment Program (TCAP) scores of students in grades four through eight who attended school virtually or in-person during the 2020-2021 school year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school district in this study allowed…

A smart learning environment (SLE) encompasses the use of advanced technology and smart pedagogical teaching skills tailored to suit students with diverse learning needs. In recent years, some countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have formulated policies to implement SLE in their education systems. Since students are the intended…

Background: Although sound is an everyday phenomenon that we hear about constantly, numerous studies have reported that students often exhibit learning difficulties in understanding this subject. Only a few studies have proposed programs involving practical learning experiments to provide students with solid conceptual knowledge. Moreover, little…

Visual representations and the process of visualisation have an important role in geometry learning. The optimal use of visual representations in complex multimedia environments has been an important research topic since the end of the last century. For the purpose of the study presented in this paper, we designed a model of learning geometry with…

Under the traditional English learning context, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners have few opportunities to apply their knowledge to a real-life setting. According to situated learning theory, different contexts hold different concepts related to learners' real experiences. The researchers, therefore, integrated drama activity into EFL…

Aim/Purpose: This study investigated the effect of using Flipgrid, an application through which teachers gather learners in virtual classrooms to allow interaction through video and audio sharing, on Jordanian EFL seventh-grade students' speaking performance (along with the features of fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary). Background:…

Educational technology is evolving and growing at a faster pace than ever before. Such fast-paced growth makes it difficult to evaluate and measure its effectiveness in a timely manner and creates a need for independent academic literature in this area. This study serves to address to this need and contribute to the body of literature. The intent…

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted the methods of instruction for K12 and higher education institutions around the world. Schools and families were challenged to adapt to online-based modes of instruction with minimal preparation. This study examined the importance of the learning environment and commitment to assignments as predictors of…

Within the last decade, different educational data mining techniques, particularly quantitative methods such as clustering, and regression analysis are widely used to analyze the data from educational games. In this research, we implemented a quantitative data mining technique (clustering) to further investigate students' feedback. Students played…

The study was carried out to investigate the impact of a digital review tool had on students' grades, learning motivation, and engagement. An exploratory cross-sectional study was accomplished with two groups of students. The Experimental Group was taught using the digital tool FlipQuiz while the Control Group was taught with the conventional…

The school self-developed e-learning platform can provide students with real and non-real-time learning resources based on its personalized learning properties like self-owned teaching conditions and levels. Meanwhile, it is beneficial to students' independent study and academic performance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools in China adopted…
