Computer simulation technology and virtual reality technology have gained considerable attention in the field of education due to their potential to create various 3D interactive learning environments, typically including simulated learning environments and immersive learning environments. To gain a deeper understanding of students' learning…

Modern life is increasingly influenced by networks, making cybersecurity a crucial area of study. However, due to their few resources and varied makeup, they are more vulnerable to a wide range of cyber-attacks. Such risks result in sensitive information being stolen as well as financial and reputational harm to firms. How far malicious detection…

This study analyzed collaborative invention projects by teams of lower-secondary (13-14-year-old) Finnish students. In invention projects, student teams design and make materially embodied collaborative inventions using traditional and digital fabrication technologies. This investigation focused on the student teams' knowledge creation processes…

Within the past two decades there has been an increased amount of interest in human-centered information retrieval research beyond the traditional system-focused view embodied by Cranfield- and TREC-style evaluation. From blending search and recommender systems to work on search as learning, the limits of conventional search engines' focus on…

The paper investigates the level of development of a creative mindset in the training of music education professionals. The research is based on the experimental method which examines the level of creativity of students before and upon completion of the developed training program focusing on development of the creative thinking using cutting-edge…

Virtual reality (VR) applications are developing rapidly, becoming more and more affordable, and offer various advantages for learning contexts. Dynamic visualizations are generally suitable for depicting continuous processes (e.g., different movement patterns), and particularly dynamic virtual 3D-objects can provide different perspectives on the…

The proposed computer system implements a scheme of joint-classroom and distance learning, scientific and exploratory research in order to motivate and stimulate students' independent work in acquiring professional competencies. The developed system reflects both the traditional structure of education in universities using groups of students,…

Video games have emerged as a medium for learning by creating engaging environments, encouraging creative and deep thinking, and exposing learners to complex problems. Unfortunately, even though there are increasing examples of video games for many basic science and engineering concepts, similar efforts for higher level engineering concepts such…

Dual display desktop computers are becoming more prevalent in the home, workplace, and schools, yet there has been little research into how learning and productivity are impacted by having a second display. One useful method in exploring this question is to measure cognitive load during an intensive learning event. This study compared perceived…

These proceedings contain the papers of the 20th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA 2023), held in Madeira Island, Portugal, from 21 to 23 October 2023 and organized by the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS). The CELDA conference aims to address the…

Enabling students to recognize and evaluate the ubiquitous impact of computing technology on society is an internationally proclaimed goal of a K-12 computing education. To that end, students need to actually engage with their computing knowledge in concrete everyday situations. From the perspectives of learning transfer and variation theory, we…

A survey was conducted to investigate how samples of 452 pre-service teachers from 5 Spanish universities seek information on science and technology using informal resources, particularly the Internet. Findings reveal that pre-service teachers exhibit information-seeking patterns similar to their age group in the wider population, predominantly…

Translanguaging and trans-semiotizing research has problematized the static view of language and argued that meaning making is a dynamic, material, social, and historical process across multiple timescales in complex eco-social systems. The second author proposed the concept of trans-semiotizing as an alternative lens to study language teaching…

Driven by new modes of information dissemination in this digital age and propelled by the necessity for online course delivery during the recent pandemic, online education, the current form of distance education, is not only the trend but the reality of teaching and learning today. It utilizes the internet and computer technology to offer…

The Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution studies innovations that can rapidly improve education progress, including innovations that use education technology. If the education sector stays on its current trajectory, by 2030 half of all children and young people around the world will lack basic secondary-level skills…
