Research has established that the proper use of technology in the classroom can promote and improve students' skill levels and knowledge base. Also, certain factors either enhance or impede the successful integration of technology in students' learning environments. Examples of these are efficiency of use, subject area, and teacher knowledge of…

Successful comprehension is only possible when children draw inferences about ideas implicit or missing in discourse. Supporting inference-making with explicit instruction must start early given its importance in comprehension and knowledge development. However, students who experience difficulties with early reading skills often do not receive…

The usage of high-quality learning applications (apps) at home may increase children's mathematical and literacy competencies. This approach was tested in a family intervention study. Intervention families (n = 302) in two German cohorts (N = 500; M (SD)[subscript age] = 61.0 (4.6) months; n[female gender symbol] = 302) received tablets with newly…

Schools operated mostly in online mode in the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic and many teachers are now using digital tools in physical classrooms after the reopening of schools. We conducted an experiment on how smartphones can be used to reinforce biology lessons of seventh standard students (mean age = 12.22 years) in a private…

The purpose of this descriptive review of nine research studies was to explore the types of educational technologies used with SWDs to support written expression (WE), the implementation of the educational technology for WE, and the methods and domains WE outcomes are measured. This review focused on: (1) the technologies utilized in combination…

Ten years after the announcement of the "rise of the super experiment" at Educational Data Mining 2012, challenges to implementing "internet scale" educational experiments often persist for educational technology providers, especially when they seek to test substantive instructional interventions. Studies that deploy and test…

Objective: To explore health literacy needs and preferences for a technology-based intervention (app) to improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among college students. Participants: In Spring 2019, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 participants (10 male, 10 female) from a large, public university. Methods: Interview guide was…

AI technology, which is becoming more widespread day by day, also affects education and training processes. The use of AI tools in educational environments provides many benefits to teachers and students. However, the use of AI in education also raises some ethical concerns. The aim of this study was to reveal the ethical issues arising from the…

Online instructors have identified several issues that must be addressed to facilitate better online learning experiences, including authentic experiential education, building community, technology for remote learning, and supporting learners. Online forums are often used by users to express their frustrations, feelings, jokes, and even…

As teachers plan for instruction, technology integration is an important factor in the planning and implementation process. This has become imperative in a virtual learning environment for instructors to be competent (Gregory & Lodge, 2015). Problems exist with integrating technology that aligns with teaching and learning in content areas.…

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is not a new concept. Still, the press, the worry, and the hype around the potential benefits and limitations of the explosion of these tools in this field is a current topic in teacher education. In this article, the authors summarize the past use of AI, present easily adaptable tools in teacher education,…

Modeling reading comprehension processes is a critical task for Learning Analytics, as accurate models of the reading process can be used to match students to texts, identify appropriate interventions, and predict learning outcomes. This paper introduces an improved version of the Automated Model of Comprehension, namely version 4.0. AMoC has its…

Researchers recommend that parents look for five benchmarks as indicators of quality educational apps (ie, scaffolding, curriculum, development team, feedback, learning theory), yet results show that parents undervalue some of these benchmarks. The current study examined if a short video-based intervention would enhance parents' value-judgements…

A primary challenge encountered by students with disabilities in mathematics relates to their inherent limitations in working memory capacities. Memory-strengthening strategies are helpful to students who need to improve mathematics retention. This article discusses enhancing mathematics learning outcomes for students with disabilities in rural…
