This study explores the role of the perceived image of accounting in determining key variables that influence high school accounting students' acceptance of using cloud accounting as a new technology. We adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) as its theoretical framework. High school accounting students enrolled in the 'Kyoto Subaru High…

Body movements are regarded as part of the learning process. With the evolution of motion-sensing technology (MST) (e.g., Kinect, Xtion Pro, and Leap Motion), educational researchers try to explore the effect of MST on learning. However, the effect of MST on learning performance is still unclear. This is the first meta-analysis that aims to…

This study aimed to gather middle school students' opinions on the utilization of cryptologic methods in education. Using a case study approach, data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed with expert input. The focus was on the effects of integrating cryptologic methods within the Information Technologies and Software…

Gamified learning tools refer to the websites, software or mobile applications that use game design elements for educational purposes. Though theoretically promising in engaging leaners, gamified learning tools were not widely accepted in practice. This paper seeks to better understand what encourages and constrains teachers' use of gamified…

Background: Prior work has shown that middle school students struggle with algebra and that game-based educational technologies, such as DragonBox and From Here to There!, are effective at improving students' algebraic performance. However, it remains unclear which aspects of algebraic knowledge shift as a result of playing these games and what…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a game-based mobile application to help learners practice mathematical patterns and structures. Method: The study followed a mixed-method research design and prototyping methodology to guide the study in developing the mobile application. An instrument based on the Octalysis framework was developed…

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of Duolingo's game-based methodology in improving speaking proficiency within mobile language learning, while also examining the specific attributes and strategies contributing to its success and exploring implications for language education and learner optimization. Given the growing…

COVID-19 contributed to the largest student performance decline in mathematics since 1990. The nation needs cost-effective mathematic interventions to address this drop and improve students' mathematics performance. This study presents a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of three algebraic technological applications, across four conditions: From…

In order to explore whether STEAM education in combination with elementary school curriculums can help students' learning performance, this study developed a digital learning system. This digital learning system combined STEAM concepts with elements of gamebased learning. This study developed the curriculum content based on the unit of…

This article provides empirical data from a study on the effects of the implementation of a gaming system as an experiment and also provides recommendations on how such a system could be implemented in the general Jamaican school system. While there are numerous studies that investigate the impact of gamification in higher education and high…

Purpose: This study aims to research the impact of the e-learning environment, in which game-based education software was used, on the learning of students with intellectual disabilities. Design/Approach/Methods: The study group consisted of 34 students with intellectual disabilities studying at a special education vocational school in C¸…

Evaluating the subjective playing experience and engagement in learning is important in the design of advanced learning technologies (ALTs) that respond to the learners' cognitive and emotional states. This article addresses students' attitudes toward an educational game, Heroes of Math Island, and their responses to the emotional agent, an…

This paper presents a pilot study on the evaluation of instruments for data gathering for an epistemic game development competition for high school students. The initial results show that a significant percentage of the students who participated in the competition appear to exhibit a skillset of professional attitude, software-related knowledge,…

Collaborative learning has long been proved to be a crucial agent for enhancing students' social skills, problem-solving abilities and individual learning performance. Understanding how students move from one phase to another in their collaboration process can inform educators of how best to facilitate such learning. However, this is still an area…

There are always challenges in teaching K-12 students Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics which is called STEM subjects due to the scientific nature of these disciplines that require strong and higher order thinking along with the ability to connect abstract concepts and relate to them. Additionally, there is a decrease in number of…
