Sung, Shannon H.; Li, Chenglu; Chen, Guanhua; Huang, Xudong; Xie, Charles; Massicotte, Joyce; Shen, Ji – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
In this paper, we demonstrate how machine learning could be used to quickly assess a student's multimodal representational thinking. Multimodal representational thinking is the complex construct that encodes how students form conceptual, perceptual, graphical, or mathematical symbols in their mind. The augmented reality (AR) technology is adopted…

Ivy, Jessica; Kelley, Robert; Cook, Kristin; Thomas, Kevin – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2020
Although many practicing teachers have not experienced teacher preparation programs that teach cyber security (Pusely & Sadera, 2011) or are familiar with cyber principles (Authors), embedding these ideas into instruction in a variety of content areas is essential for promoting cyber literacy and citizenship. This study explores a professional…

Colton, Jill – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2019
Theory provides conceptual tools with which to engage in deep thinking about experiences and a shared language by which we can communicate our understandings. Socio-material theory allows us to take account of the role of technology in the performance of learning identities. This has implications for the way that students are produced as learning…

Xiang, Lin; Passmore, Cynthia – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
There has been increased recognition in the past decades that model-based inquiry (MBI) is a promising approach for cultivating deep understandings by helping students unite phenomena and underlying mechanisms. Although multiple technology tools have been used to improve the effectiveness of MBI, there are not enough detailed examinations of how…
