This exploratory sequential mixed methods study examines the contemporary usage of online education in rural, K-12 settings, as well as explores the relationship between Internet connectivity, smartphone use, and rural, K-12 online education in the United States. The following general research questions were explored: (1) How are rural K-12…

Existing research literature in computing and IT education shows that there has been limited work on investigating how offense based learning approaches using hacks can enhance learning of mobile security topics. In an effort to fill this research gap, we performed an experimental study with a unique, nifty user hack driven offense based learning…

High-resolution displays on mobile devices, accurate motion sensors, and efficient mobile processors have taken virtual reality (VR), essentially employed in laboratory, to everyday environments, including homes, workplaces, and classrooms. Regarding programming education, it has been investigated in conjunction with various educational…

Increased availability of tablets at home and in classrooms provides educators access to a powerful tool for music instruction. Music production lessons on tablets offer alternate approaches to developing music literacies while teaching valuable technology skills. These activities are ideal for general music education because they align with…

Several communication interventions have been used with nonverbal individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for a long time. One of these methods that are effective in enhancing the communication skills of these individuals is tablet-based devices (e.g., iPads). Special education teachers have a significant role in successfully implementing…

In this article, we, culture bearers and music educators, discuss ways of using East Asian virtual musical instruments to promote culturally diverse music activities in classrooms.

Background: Addressing chronic absenteeism is a policy priority, with 36 states and Washington D.C. referencing attendance in ESSA accountability plans (Jordan & Miller, 2017) and a body of research establishing the connections between attendance, achievement, and social development (e.g., Gottfried, 2014; Ginsburg, 2014). The need to find…

Due to the widespread use of mobile technologies, their use of them in teaching processes has also increased. Within this framework, in this study, in-depth investigation of K-12 grades studies from 2015 to 2021 which were conducted on "mobile learning", and "learning anywhere" published on "Web of Science" through…

Building on past studies showing that mobile learning improves learning outcomes and differs within a domain (e.g., science), this meta-analysis models domain-specific differences (e.g., learning activities) that drive these differences in science performance. A systematic database search (i.e., Web of Science, JSTOR, ERIC, PsycINFO, ProQuest…

This study aimed to identify the problems experienced by middle and high school administrators and to compare the solution methods they applied for these problems.
