Background: The rapid rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming education. At this stage, there is not yet a well-established and tested theoretical framework clarifying which competencies learners must possess to use GenAI effectively and safely. This study draws on three theoretical frameworks: Eshet-Alkalai's Digital…

Teaching Computer Science concepts, such as graph theory, is often challenging. This study proposes an approach for teaching graph theory using an unplugged game ("GraphGame") developed through a participatory design process that includes usage observation, clarifying meaning, prototyping, and implementation. This process was carried out…

This study investigates the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning experiences of Chinese primary school students, aiming to conduct a comprehensive comparison between the impacts of playful pedagogical activities and traditional review, practice, and recitation methods.
