Vishesh Kumar; Peter Wardrip; Rebecca Millerjohn – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Makerspaces, especially in their diverse proliferating forms, support a broad variety of learning outcomes. There is rich work in attempting to understand and describe these learning goals. Yet, there is a lack of support for practitioners and educators to assess the learning in events and programming at makerspaces (and similar environments)…

Adam V. Maltese; Kelli M. Paul; Bárbara Yarza; Lauren Penney – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
In this manuscript, we describe a coding club we created and implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were purposeful in creating the club to: (a) focus on design and problem solving as the basis for learning computer coding and (b) include elements to improve the engagement of girls. We ran multiple iterations of a Girls Design with Code Club…

Kailea Saplan; Sam Abramovich; Peter Wardrip – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Public libraries have embraced the popularity of maker education and makerspaces by integrating maker education in their program offerings, and by developing makerspaces that enable patrons to tinker and create products. But less attention has been paid to supporting librarians and maker educators in assessing the impact of these spaces. To expand…

Agbo, Friday Joseph; Oyelere, Solomon Sunday; Suhonen, Jarkko; Tukiainen, Markku – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become an essential skill nowadays. For young students, CT competency is required to prepare them for future jobs. This competency can facilitate students' understanding of programming knowledge which has been a challenge for many novices pursuing a computer science degree. This study focuses on designing and…

Demmans Epp, Carrie; Phirangee, Krystle; Hewitt, Jim; Perfetti, Charles A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
From massive open online courses (MOOC) to the smaller scale use of learning management systems, many students interact with online platforms that are meant to support learning. Investigations into the use of these systems have considered how well students learn when certain approaches are employed. However, we do not fully understand how course…

Fuad, Muztaba; Deb, Debzani; Etim, James; Gloster, Clay – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
Mobile devices are being used profusely in the classrooms to improve passive learning environments and to enhance student comprehension. However, with respect to students' active involvement in problem solving activities, the typical usage of the mobile devices in answering multiple choice and true/false questions is not adequate and the use of…

Thompson, Nik; McGill, Tanya Jane – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This paper details the design, development and evaluation of an affective tutoring system (ATS)--an e-learning system that detects and responds to the emotional states of the learner. Research into the development of ATS is an active and relatively new field, with many studies demonstrating promising results. However, there is often no practical…

García-Cabrero, Benilde; Hoover, Michael L.; Lajoie, Susanne P.; Andrade-Santoyo, Nadia L.; Quevedo-Rodríguez, Lídice M.; Wong, Janice – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The design of online course materials is rarely informed by learning theories or their pedagogical implications. The goal of this research was to develop, implement and assess a virtual learning environment (VLE), SOFIAA, which was designed using the cognitive apprenticeship model (CAM), a pedagogical model based on learning-centered theory. We…

Lee, Jihyun; Lim, Cheolil; Kim, Hyeonsu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
In response to pedagogical challenges in higher education, blended learning has become a prevalent practice in colleges and universities. Flipped learning (FL) represents a newly emerging form of blended learning, where students individually watch online lectures prior to class and then engage in classroom learning activities interacting with…

Aslan, Sinem; Reigeluth, Charles M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
Reigeluth et al. ("Educ Technol" 48(6):32-39, 2008) proposed major and secondary functions for educational technology systems for the learner-centered paradigm of education. However, the functions proposed should be formatively evaluated and revised using a variety of cases to develop a better understanding of how technology can support…

Cho, Moon-Heum – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
Although orientation for online students is important to their success, little information about how to develop an online student orientation (OSO) has appeared in the literature; therefore, the purpose of this article was to describe the entire process of developing an OSO. This article describes the analysis, design, development, and evaluation…

Magliaro, Susan G.; Shambaugh, Neal – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2006
Mental models are one way that humans represent knowledge (Markman, 1999). Instructional design (ID) is a conceptual model for developing instruction and typically includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (i.e., ADDIE model). ID, however, has been viewed differently by practicing teachers and instructional designers…
