Capstone courses, where students work on a large group project at the end of their degree, are common in computing. Many accreditation and industry bodies explicitly require or recommend them. Over the past two decades, capstone courses specifically focused on game development have become increasingly popular. Game development offers students the…

This technical report on the 2025 State of the American Teacher (SoT) survey and the American Life Panel (ALP) companion survey includes descriptions of survey content, survey administration, and survey weighting for the SoT and ALP surveys, as well as univariate descriptive tables of the SoT survey and ALP survey results.

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in academic settings has led to growing concerns about its impact on writing and assessment practices. This paper reviews the latest literature on detecting GenAI-generated content and explores the challenges and potential solutions faced by educators. This study identifies various…

Research on digital learning environments has traditionally applied either an individual perspective or a social perspective to learning. Based on a literature review, we examined to what extent individual or social perspectives determined the learning outcome variables that researchers have used as measurements in existing studies. We analyzed…

Despite growing interest in formative assessment of teacher practices, research on rates of change in teachers' practices is sparse. This is the first study to examine the characteristics of observed change in classroom practices using the Classroom Strategies Assessment System (CSAS) across alternative schedules of data collection during…
