This research aimed to determine the trends related to blended learning studies conducted in science education through descriptive content analysis. This study was performed using the document review method. For this purpose, 120 studies on blended learning in science education were determined between 2005 and 2022 in the Web of Science (WoS)…

Randomized A/B tests within online learning platforms represent an exciting direction in learning sciences. With minimal assumptions, they allow causal effect estimation without confounding bias and exact statistical inference even in small samples. However, often experimental samples and/or treatment effects are small, A/B tests are underpowered,…

Augmented reality is one of the state-of-the-art technologies, which is utilised for educational purposes, in a wide variety of fields. Each year the frequency of academic publications on augmented reality use in education has increased. This study aims to study content analysis of augmented reality studies, used for educational purposes,…

Purpose: The purposes of this paper are to provide a description of AI and to document and compare two applications of AI, one in program evaluation and another in an applied research study. Design/methodology/approach: Focus groups, interviews and observations were used to gather rich qualitative data which was used to detail Appreciative…

Augmented reality is a technology used in almost every stage of our daily life. It has become widespread in several fields such as engineering, healthcare, advertising, defense industry, and entertainment. The use of augmented reality technology that combines virtual and real environments is increasing every day. Augmented reality technology,…

This article reflects on the tensions I encountered as an insider researcher during a qualitative study exploring academics' integration of educational technology in a South African higher education institution. While critical qualitative approaches acknowledge research participants' vulnerability to the researcher's interpretation and…

This study examines the tendencies in Turkey-based scientific articles related to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this qualitative study, content analysis and categorical analysis were used. The population of the study is comprised of Turkey-based academic studies on distance education while the sample consists of 125…

The overall aim of this study was to review research trends and issues in the field of educational technology specifically focused on the articles published in the Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology (TOJET) from 2012 to 2018. Content analysis was used to examine (a) general characteristics of studies; (b) research themes and issues;…

In this research, it is aimed to examine the graduate theses done about flipped classroom model in Turkey according to some variables. The data of this descriptive study which was conducted by a qualitative research approach was obtained from 105 master's and doctoral theses accessed from CoHE National Thesis Center database. The data were…

Narrative inquiry has been a popular methodology in different disciplines for the last few decades. Using stories, narrative inquiry illuminates lived experience, serving as a valuable complement to research methodologies that are rooted in positivist epistemologies. In this article, we present a brief introduction to narrative inquiry including…

One of the characteristics of massive open online courses (MOOCs) is that the overall number of social interactions tend to be higher than in traditional courses, hindering the analysis of social learning. Learners typically ask or answer questions using the forum. This makes messages a rich source of information, which can be used to infer…

The present study aimed at conducting content analysis on dissertations carried out so far in the field of Educational Technology in Turkey. A total of 137 dissertations were examined to determine the key words, academic discipline, research areas, theoretical frameworks, research designs and models, statistical analyses, data collection tools,…

This paper provides an account of the topological and its description of contemporary culture and use as a research methodology, a topological lens, generally, and in education research specifically. Some commentary is proffered on the relationships between the topological and the topographical, between relations and locations. A critical account…

This article investigates research approaches used in traditional classroom-based interaction studies for identifying a suitable research method for studies in three-dimensional virtual learning environments (3DVLEs). As opportunities for language learning and teaching in virtual worlds emerge, so too do new research questions. An understanding of…

The current study aimed to review studies on computational thinking (CT) indexed in Web of Science (WOS) and ERIC databases. A thorough search in electronic databases revealed 96 studies on computational thinking which were published between 2006 and 2016. Studies were exposed to a quantitative content analysis through using an article control…
