Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) has received increasing attention for its role in promoting learners' cognitive and social development in STEM education. However, little is known about how learners interact dynamically within a group at different time granularities. This gap mainly resulted from overlooking the time dimension of interactions,…

Teaching with technology is the pillar of online Higher Education pedagogy. However, it remains unclear if and how online teaching practices influence the development of students' soft skills and the role of caring teaching in this process. To address this gap, this study examined the relationship between the domains of the Technological…

Based on the existing 3P model, this paper constructed a new 3P model under the blended-project-based learning (BPBL) environment, used the course teaching data to verify this model, and revealed the potential factors that affect the learning process and learning outcomes. The results showed that the presage variables of academic motivation and…

This paper presents a new developed methodology for teaching and learning subjects that although are very important in the modern digital society are neglected in high school education programs: cybersecurity and cyber safety. A Study among the EU high schools in 2021-2022 revealed that computer science teachers are not regularly upgrading their…

In the Digital Heritage Education (DHE) classroom, students use digital tools to assist in understanding intangible cultural heritage (ICH), which comprises intricate knowledge. However, students may still encounter obstacles when trying to produce creative designs. To address this issue, we propose a framework that adopts a human-engaged…

There is a growing consensus that AI literacy requires a holistic lens, including not only technical knowledge and skills but also social and ethical considerations. Yet, providing holistic AI education for upper-primary students remains challenging due to the abstract and complex nature of AI and a lack of pedagogical experiences in schools.…

The integration of Virtual Laboratories (VLs) into blended learning environments in science education offers a multifaceted educational experience that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This approach provides dynamic, interactive learning opportunities that can be customized to meet various educational needs…

Peers can play an invaluable role in helping a student to learn, and peer support is a means to help collaborative students learn well in teams. Students who communicate well with peers understand multiple points of view, and peer support allows students to achieve a shared goal. In higher education, a student can enroll on an undergraduate…

Argumentation is a complex skill essential for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students to effectively use their English language and reasoning abilities in writing and speaking. Constructing arguments without proper collaborative scaffolding and technological support can be cognitively demanding. Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) in…

Coding learning can promote the development of computational thinking (CT) in young children. The effect of coding learning on CT may vary between different cultures. However, it lacks studies to evaluate the effect of coding learning on the various dimensions of CT in young Chinese children. To provide insight into this question, we recruited…

Despite the opportunities that makerspaces and FabLabs offer for the development of 21st-century skills, understanding how these skills are being practiced and assessed in these spaces has been proven challenging. In this work, we address this gap through an interview study investigating 13 maker-educators' practices across different makerspaces…

E-learning systems have strengthened the learning process among students by providing online learning opportunities to them. With the diminishing difference between the academic world and the job markets, students must get the full benefits of e-learning platforms. The disparity in online learning opportunities due to a lack of resources has…

Asynchronous online learning has grown in popularity due to its flexibility in providing higher education access to learners regardless of distance, transportation, and scheduling constraints. However, for successful online learning, students must adapt and intensify the self-regulated learning (SRL) skills they developed in face-to-face settings…

In the 21st century, the urgent educational demand for cultivating complex skills in vocational training and learning is met with the effectiveness of the four-component instructional design model. Despite its success, research has identified a notable gap in the address of formative assessment, particularly within computer-supported frameworks.…

In the era of educational informatization, nurturing critical thinking skills has become a central focus. However, the current state of Chinese students' critical thinking development is concerning, prompting researchers to explore effective enhancement strategies. Based on constructivist learning theory, this study leveraged the advancements in…
