This case study investigated how grade 8-12 teachers utilized the novel EdTech tool Equity Maps in their dialogic lesson designs. Grounded in theoretical framework of social constructivism and the conceptual framework of the triple E, this case study engaged a purposive sample of 13 highly qualified practitioners in semi-structured interviews with…

This article queries how learning analytics systems can support content-specific group formation to develop students' thinking about a specific mathematical concept. Automated group formation requires identifying personal characteristics, designing tasks to probe students' perceptions, and grouping them to increase individual learning chances.…

Along with the fast development in the internet technologies, every day new learning and teaching approaches are introduced and implemented. In this context, the aim of this research is to reveal the effect of Flipped Classroom model on the academic success of the students for the subject of Interaction of Matter with Heat of 8th grade Science…

Educators within Illinois public schools faced challenges transitioning from face-to-face to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The target audience for this study was students in sixth through eighth grade. The problem was teachers from Grades 6 through 8 had limited experience using technology for remote educating and learning. The…

This study aims at understanding the role of the tools chosen throughout the processes of solving a non-routine mathematical problem and communicating its solution. In assuming that problem-solving is a synchronous activity of mathematization and expression of mathematical thinking we take our proposed Mathematical Problem Solving with Technology…

In this research, Purpose is to eliminate primary school student's delusions about concept of greenhouse effect and to study its effect on student's attitudes towards science. In the research, quasi-experimental study with prepost control group has been used. The research was performed with 34 primary school students in the state located in…

Well-designed digital games hold promise as effective learning environments. However, designing games that support both learning and engagement without disrupting flow is quite tricky. In addition to including various game design features (e.g., interactive problem solving, adaptive challenges, and player control of gameplay) to engage players,…

An inferential comprehension intervention addressing reading comprehension difficulties of middle schoolers was tested. Method Students in Grades 6 to 8 (n = 145; 53.8% female; 71% White; 24% Black) who failed their state literacy test, were randomly assigned to tutor-led, computerized, or business-as-usual [BaU] interventions. Results The…

Ensuring equity in education is a goal for sustainable development. Among the factors that hinder equity, socioeconomic status (SES) has the highest impact on learning Mathematics. This paper addresses the issue of equity at the secondary school level by proposing an approach based on adopting automatic formative assessment (AFA). Carefully…

In this paper we introduce a theoretical framework concerned with fostering functional thinking in Grade 8 students by utilizing digital technologies. This framework is meant to be used to guide the systematic variation of tasks for implementation in the classroom while using digital technologies. Examples of problems and tasks illustrate this…

This phenomenological research study explored how teachers perceive technology integration in their classrooms and examined factors contributing to teacher reluctance and apprehension toward technology integration. This study centered on teachers' perceptions of the learning management system (LMS) Google Classroom. The problem that this study…

To further enhance its usability and better serve teachers' needs a new connected classroom technology, called GeoGebra Classroom was developed. in this paper, we outline the results of the potential uses of GeoGebra Classroom in mathematics teaching and learning. in our Design Research study, we utilized the combination of educational research…

This design research investigated the mathematical practices that eight graders (14-year-old students) developed when learning about prisms, cylinders, and their surface areas. An inquiry-based learning environment was created for students to engage in argumentation. The instruction was enriched by use of a dynamic geometry software, namely…

This study focuses on the use of Google Classroom as assistive technology in inclusive classrooms. Findings were based on data collected through single-case study methodology in semi-structured formal and informal interviews with eight teachers and a focus group with six students at one junior high school in the province of Newfoundland and…

Providing high-level support to students on NGSS inquiry practices can be challenging; however, teacher dashboards can help teachers provide just-in-time instruction to students, both in-person and online. Prior work has shown some success with a dashboard that alerts teachers in real time on students' science inquiry difficulties, but teachers…
