Middle school students (n = 144) worked with an applet specially designed to introduce the concept of function without using algebraic representations. The purpose of the study was to examine whether the applet would help students understand function as a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of outputs and to begin to develop a…

E-handout is one form of teaching material that can be used by teachers and students in the learning process. This research aims to develop teaching materials in the form of e-handouts using Heyzine to determine the feasibility and practicality of e-handouts on human respiratory system material in the 8th grade of junior high school. The research…

This paper reports some results of a study on how Colombian primary-school teachers, experienced in the use of technological tools, integrate digital resources into their practice. Specifically, we investigate the processes of selection and integration (including appropriation and orchestration) of these resources in the teaching of geometry. We…

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of online project-based learning on students' metacognitive awareness. The participants of the research were 53 students attending 6th grade. The research was carried out using the mixed method approach and it was conducted with the action research model. Pre-test and post-test quantitative…

The goal of this study was to examine how two groups of middle school students' self-efficacy, interest, goal orientation, and prior experience related to evidence of their building upon existing ideas and code in digital artifacts they created using MIT's App Inventor, a computational practice that Brennan and Resnick (2012) identified as…

Schools increasingly use educational technology, such as laptop computers, as tools to enhance learning. However, the introduction of educational technology in the classroom can also interfere with the learning process by distracting students through multitasking. Multitasking, or switching back and forth between two different tasks, distracts the…

Background and Context: The Domain-Specific Programming (DSP) platforms EarSketch and TunePad are being used widely in schools for coding novices. Existing studies on both platforms have mainly concentrated on attitudinal changes, leaving a gap in the literature. Objective: The purpose of this research was to advance our understanding of two…

Using a Dynamic Geometry System (DGS) students can engage in a dynamic learning process that allows them to experiment, create strategies, make conjectures, argue, and deduce mathematical properties. A DGS enables the introduction of proofs, by providing visual aids. The proof of the conjectures made emerges as the next step towards formalising…

In the context of an afterschool program in which students explore relatively large authentic datasets, we investigated how 11- to 14-year old students worked with categorical variables. During the program, students learned to use the Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP), a statistical analysis platform specifically designed for middle and…

Computational thinking (CT) is recognized as an essential and universally applicable skill for all disciplines (Wing, 2006; Bundy, 2007). Proponents of CT acknowledge that it is integral to fostering 21st century skills such as problem-solving and higher-order thinking (Barr & Stephenson, 2011; Wing, 2006). Educational robotics activities have…

Applying multimedia technology to college music teaching can directly present some abstract knowledge to students. This not only breaks the limitation of traditional teaching time and space, but also enriches the teaching content and improves the teaching quality. Therefore, it is very important to change the teaching concept, actively practice…

In 1967, The Tanglewood Symposium was convened in the United States to address the multifaceted issues in music education. The discussion in the Symposium led to the creation of the Tanglewood Declaration, which includes eight statements of implications and recommendations for the music curriculum and has been considered a critical part of the…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of digital storytelling on the teaching practicum experiences of pre-service English teachers (PSET) and to delve into the challenges they encountered in creating digital storytelling, along with the strategies used to overcome these challenges. This study provided deeper understanding of the impact of…

This article presents a case study of two Grade 5 boys' argumentation concerning addition and subtraction of negative numbers while using an interactive tablet-based application simulating positive and negative tiles. We examine the properties of integers they conjectured, and the kinds of evidence and arguments they used to support their…

Concepts related to molecular structure are often challenging for students to visualize and comprehend. Augmented reality has emerged as a promising solution to this problem, providing students with opportunities to manipulate and visualize chemical molecular structures to improve their understanding. Furthermore, collaborative learning…
