Proper waste management, aimed at making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable, has been one of the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This, in turn, contributes to quality education and environmental justice. Thus, this study examined e-waste management practices in selected public secondary schools in the…

Contributions: This article presents the results from a teaching innovation project based on the creation of educational videos by students and their assessment through blind peer review in the context of an electric circuit course. This article also analyses the activity's impact on learning outcomes by comparing the results of participating…

Several studies suggest that children's learning and engagement with the content of play activities is affected by the ways parents and children interact. In particular, when parents are overly directive and set more goals during play with their children, their children tend to play less or are less engaged by subsequent challenges with the…

E-textiles provide an interesting field of research as they "blend traditional craft with modern science" (Peppler, 2016) and help learners "broaden their own perceptions of computing" (Searle et al., 2016). Despite the promising findings by primarily long-term interventions structured around e-textiles, educational curriculum…

In science and engineering education, remote laboratories are designed to bring ubiquity to experimental scenarios, by having real laboratories operated through the Internet. Despite that remote laboratories enable the collection of students' work data, the educational use of these data is still underdeveloped. Learning analytics dashboards are…

This study investigates the influence of computer-based simulations on students' academic achievement and attitudes toward learning Direct Current (DC) circuits in physics. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 40 secondary school students divided into an experimental group (20 students) and a control group (20 students). The…

Nowadays, physics learning in the classroom should no longer only focus on achieving academics. It must prepare students to face challenges in the future. One of the abilities that are important for learners is problem solving, and the problem-solving ability that is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era is computational thinking…

Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

Nowadays, the educational process is enriched with technological tools such as Arduino and Micro:bit. These tools offer both tangible and graphical interaction, however, widespread adoption by educators faces limitations. Many educators hesitate to utilize them, primarily due to lacking training. Therefore, this study examines educators'…

Virtual Reality (VR) has demonstrated significant advantages in various educational fields as it allows learners to actively learn in high interactivity and realism under their learning pace. However, for low-achieving students, VR learning environments may introduce some challenges, which are problems encountered during their learning process,…

Contribution: This article presents significant contributions in the field of understanding and addressing misconceptions (MCs) related to Ohm's law. First, it provides a comprehensive list and detailed description of 16 MCs commonly observed among students, and identifies and emphasizes 11 good practices that educators can adopt to effectively…

The study aimed to investigate the dynamics of e-textile-supported STEAM activities, specifically focusing on the design and development process of e-textile projects. A professional development (PD) program with seven hands-on and design-based activities was developed and implemented in two camps involving 20 and 19 in-service science teachers.…

Contribution: This study focuses on microcontroller circuits and aims to: 1) investigate the impact of formal reasoning on students' post-knowledge using catastrophe theory; 2) compare the different combination sequences of tangible user interface (TUI) and graphical user interface (GUI); and 3) assess the usability of both interfaces and explore…

The study investigated the roles of advanced digital tools in enhancing engagement with physical education among undergraduates. The focus was on the effects of digital monitoring and real-time feedback technologies on increasing physical activity participation and improving physical fitness levels of undergraduates. Throughout a semester, the…

This study explores the moderating role of aesthetics and information quality on the technological acceptance of augmented reality. A technology acceptance model with the following variables was used: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards using, and behavioural intention to use. Analysis was conducted by using structural…
