Background: Parents and educators are concerned about adolescents' social media use and how it affects their mental health. It is unclear how these adults perceive how social media use affects adolescent mental health or view the role of schools in addressing these effects. We explored how adults define social media, perceive the effects of social…

Despite the promising advantages of cutting-edge technologies like virtual laboratories (VL) for enhancing science education, a significant gap remains between their theoretical benefits and practical application, particularly in rural schools in the Global South. This article argues that the effective integration of VL is largely dependent on…

Emerging technologies are transforming education, necessitating research on their optimal integration. This article introduces an Intelligent Virtual Reality (IVR) approach that incorporates Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) through two GAI-powered pedagogical characters, aiming to address educational needs. This qualitative descriptive…

This study developed a Learning Materials Repository Hub (LMRH) to digitize educational resources for the K-12 education system, addressing the need for centralized, high-quality, and accessible learning materials. Using a developmental research approach, Graduate School students created Digitized Learning Materials (DLMs) aligned with the Most…

This qualitative study aims to explore the role of eTwinning ambassadors regarding the use of eTwinning to improve students' English as a Foreign Language learning process. The main objective is thus to examine the advantages and drawbacks of using eTwinning in the educational practice related to English teaching from the point of view of…

This study introduces a novel Connectivist model for professional development (PD) aimed at enhancing AI literacy among bilingual/ESL teachers in K-12 education. As AI technologies rapidly reshape educational landscapes, effective PD programs are essential to equip educators with the skills to integrate AI responsibly and equitably. Grounded in…

The traditional curriculum design methods suffer from issues like outdated content and limited instructional approaches. To address these, this article proposes an optimized curriculum design system that integrates CAD and neural network models. This system enables intelligent curriculum content generation, introduces CAD-assisted instructional…

Aim/Purpose: This study examined the understudied perceptions of higher education instructors on the use of art-based AI generators in digital art, design, and creative-based courses and answered the research questions: (1) how disruptions by generative artificial intelligence (GenAIs) are impacting teaching, and (2) what are the major factors…

Smart learning environments provide students with opportunities to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL). However, little research has examined how teachers leverage these opportunities. We employed a multiple-case study methodology to examine the SRL supporting instructional practices of five third-grade teachers as they implemented a science…
