Virtual reality (VR) has become a promising tool for enhancing social skills in special education, K-12 education, and post-secondary education. However, there is a lack of comprehensive meta-analyses examining the effectiveness of VR social skills training and the factors that moderate its efficacy. In this study, a meta-analysis approach was…

Interactive learning environments improve students' achievement level and ability to contribute to the learning of other students, communication skills and ability to interact with others, and behavior of students. Interactive learning environments aware students of the educational potential of technology. The current study aims to develop an…

Critical thinking (CT) is among the core abilities students need to acquire to overcome the unprecedented and ever-changing challenges of the 21st century and beyond. To facilitate the attainment of CT, numerous researchers worldwide have conducted empirical studies focusing on leveraging computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) to improve…

Simulation-based learning (SBL) offers an extensive variety of chances to practice complex computer and networking skills in higher education and to implement diverse kinds of platforms to facilitate effective learning. Utilizing visualization and computer network simulation tools in teaching computer networking courses has been found to be useful…

The beauty of the sound is not only due to advanced singing voice but also depends on breathing techniques. This paper aims to study knowledge about the physiology of breathing and singing, including the effectiveness of conscious control in vocal training and innovative technologies. The authors used observation methods to achieve this goal. They…

Self-regulatory learning skills are recognized as an essential factor motivating students to learn. The lack of self-regulatory learning skills could reduce students' learning performance. Therefore, engaging students in making learning plans, executing the plans, and reflecting on their learning remains a challenge for teachers. To address this…

This study examined the developmental process of children's computational thinking using block-based programming tools, specifically algorithmic thinking and debugging skills. With this aim, a group of children (N = 191) from two primary schools were studied for two years beginning from the fourth grade, as they engaged in our block-based…

Educationalists', researchers', and policy makers' work on children's digital resilience has marginalised the role of the broader context within which digital resilience is constituted, experienced and derived. We aimed to address this lacuna by exploring how pre-teen's digital resilience operates as a dynamic socio-ecological process. Addressing…

This systematic literature review examines the use of computer games as instructional aids in the teaching and learning of programming. With the ubiquitous nature of technology permeating various aspects of modern life, the integration of gaming devices into educational settings has garnered increased attention. This paper investigates whether…

Teacher-student interaction (TSI) is the core element and important teaching method of smart classroom. Improving the quality of smart classroom teaching and developing higher-order thinking (HOT) among students requires strengthening research on the TSI structure in smart classroom. At present, the structure model of TSI in smart classroom mainly…

Being digitally competent is an imperative requirement for the 21st century university teacher, a fact recognized by both the literature and policymakers. Although this topic has been addressed in different reviews and critical studies recently, none of them have systematically and explicitly addressed the factors that explain, or are explained…

This study aims to determine the levels of twenty-first century learner and teacher skills use of teacher candidates studying in Northern Cyprus. It also aims to determine the relationship between the teacher candidates' levels of using their learner and teacher skills. The study employs a quantitative methodology, a single survey model with a…

Currently, the study of microcontroller and microcircuits by students is becoming very important and in demand when acquiring competencies in the computer engineering educational program. This knowledge and skills will be necessary for the employment of graduates in industry, science and education. There are more and more large technical systems…

The present study illustrates digital storytelling (DS) as an open-ended learning environment, which is one of the ways of preparing pre-service teachers (PST) to practice computational thinking (CT) in their future teaching. An 8-week teacher training program was organized and presented. The study aims to investigate the program's impact on the…

The ability to read is fundamental in determining an individual's academic success and social integration, and it is also known to have an impact on other cognitive abilities. A lack of foundational pre-reading skills can accumulate later, causing reading and learning problems. Early diagnosis and development of these skills are therefore…
