This longitudinal study investigates the differences in learners' effortful behaviour over time due to receiving metacognitive help--in the form of on-demand task-related visual analytics. Specifically, learners' interactions (N = 67) with the tasks were tracked during four self-assessment activities, conducted at four discrete points in time,…

Collaborative learning is perceived as an important component of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) integration in schools. The purpose of this study was to examine an initiative of the Ministry of Education that promoted intra-school and inter-school digital collaborative learning projects. The participants were 159 district ICT…

Background: Understanding algorithms is crucial for programming education, yet their abstract nature often challenges students. Algorithm visualisation (AV) has been proven effective in enhancing algorithmic thinking among university students. However, its efficacy for elementary school students and the optimal forms of AV tools remain unclear.…

Background: Comprehensive assessment of skills and performance are necessary to improve the quality of care in nursing education. Various factors pose challenges to accurate assessments, including high student-teacher ratio and observer bias. Objectives: To establish an assessment system based on first-person video of smart glasses and validate…

Background: Both eye movement modelling examples (EMMEs) and cues guide attention and improve learning in multimedia learning environments. EMME can act as a special form of cue. However, no studies have directly examined whether EMME would be superior to visual cues. Objective: The study was to investigate whether there were advantages of EMME…

Background: A key skill for self-regulated learners is the ability to critically interpret and act on feedback--key components of feedback literacy. Yet, the connection between feedback literacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) remains underexplored, particularly in terms of how different levels of feedback literacy influence SRL processes in…

Background: Many students face difficulties with algebra. At the same time, it has been observed that fraction understanding predicts achievements in algebra; hence, gaining a better understanding of how algebra understanding builds on fraction understanding is an important goal for research and educational practice. Objectives: However, a wide…

Background: Current education increasingly emphasises the development and significance of Critical Thinking (CT), aiming to enhance individuals' adaptability in a rapidly evolving society. However, few effective teaching methods have been identified for integrating CT into existing on-site courses. While previous studies have focused on the…

Robotics education has received an increasing attention in recent years as a means to build students' motivation, team collaboration skills, and other valuable 21st century competencies. Yet there is a lack of experimental studies to investigate and identify strategies to facilitate robotics education. This study adopted a 2 × 2 quasi-experimental…

Background: This paper examines the use of augmented reality (AR) as a concept-association tool in schools, with the aim of enhancing primary school students' learning outcomes and engagement. Conflicting findings exist in previous studies regarding the cognitive load of AR-enriched learning, with some reporting reduced load and others indicating…

Background: Morphological awareness (MA) is the awareness and ability to manipulate morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language. It is identified as a strong cognitive precursor of word reading and reading comprehension. The current MA instructions are limited to classroom settings and delivered by teachers or experimenters. Few studies…

Background: Drawing is generally regarded as a promising learning strategy and has been explored in the touchscreen setting with different drawing modes. Although both a finger and a digital pencil can help individuals complete drawing activities effortlessly on touchscreen devices, there is no guarantee that they show the same effect on learning,…

Background: Given students' lack of self-directed learning skills and the growing concern about implementing massive online open courses (MOOCs) in K12 education, learning strategies are needed to facilitate MOOC learning. Many studies have provided different strategies for effective learning in MOOCs. However, there is still limited research to…

Background: Previous research has examined the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in English language teaching. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of the earlier studies that investigated integrating AR and VR "wearables" into teaching and learning English based on the attention, relevance, confidence, and…

Background: Holocaust memory and learning processes have become increasingly mediatised as a result of rapid technological advances. There is, however, little information available regarding how people learn about this topic informally through social media. Objectives: This paper explores how adult learners develop their learning ecologies by…
