Introduction: Media comparison studies examining the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality in education have yielded inconclusive findings, leaving the question of its impact on learning compared to conventional media unanswered. To address this issue, our study employs a novel approach that combines media comparison with an investigation on…

This article reports on the design and implementation of a didactic sequence in the frame of a design-based research study. The research aim is to test the hypothesis that affordances of dynamic geometry may support students' awareness of logical relationships between geometrical properties of constructed figures. We elaborate on the task design…

The role of virus is an essential material that is not discussed completely in the lesson because of the limited information presented in the reference book. The role of viruses is important to learn because it can increase knowledge and know the role of viruses in life. This research aims to (1) develop interactive learning media based on…

This article is based on research in which the three authors participated. The main objective is to identify, describe and analyze the practices of using digital tools and platforms for teaching mathematics in lower secondary education. Framed within a set of ICT policies promoted since 2007 by Plan CEIBAL in Uruguay, a mixed study was conducted,…

Through in-depth interviews with junior high school teachers in Hong Kong who participated in a media and artificial intelligence literacy program intervention, this research highlights the importance of prioritizing values and ethics education over technical proficiency when incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into media literacy training.…

ChatGPT and generative AI technologies have infiltrated our learning spaces, and, as a result, schools may be changed forever. While some educators may seek to ban the use of chatbots, motivated by a fear of the rampant plagiarism the technology might invite, I, however, write this dissertation with the intent of finding uses for AI as a…

We investigated the effect of short-term teaching (3 weeks) using image analysis on gymnasium/secondary school students' (ISCED3A) skills (science process skills, SPS) and knowledge using Fiji (ImageJ) software. The theoretical teaching was combined with IT-based education (measurement of the area or signal intensity on photos from scientific…

This research aims to explore both the individual and combined relationships between the use of GeoGebra and productive disposition with students' strategic competence. The use of GeoGebra involves teacher-led activities designed to assist students in managing and engaging with learning, serving as a tool to enhance mathematics learning outcomes.…

Today, many technology teachers in compulsory technology education teach design and design processes using a digital design tool, such as computer aided design (CAD). Teaching involving CAD is a relatively new element and not very much is known about what teachers intend pupils to learn in compulsory education. Thus, the aim of this study is to…

This paper analyzes essay writing in AI (ChatGPT) and high school students, focusing on their use of specific details. Discussing the writing examples from Waltzer, Cox, and Heyman's study, we employ Aristotle's rhetorical theory to explore how clarity is achieved through specificity in writing. The analysis reveals both ChatGPT and students…

Emergent graphical shape thinking (EGST) entails conceiving a graph as being dynamically generated via the trace of a moving point constrained by two changing quantities. As such, Paoletti et al. (2023) argue that meanings for quantities within a situation and meanings for graphical representations must be connected, or bridged, to engage in EGST.…

High school math projects center on solving real-world examples in a wide variety of situations that require a creative skill set. Creativity in high school mathematics takes place in a subtle form. In contrast, creativity presents itself conspicuously in art. Therefore, this paper will explore the utilization of polynomial equations in drawing…

The purpose of this study is to determine the spatial thinking ability of high school students using indicators from Sharpe-Huynh model. These indicators include analysis, spatial interaction, scale, representation, comprehensiveness, and application. Furthermore, this study examined the effect of Earthcomm learning on student's spatial thinking…

The study presented investigated the relations between personal factors and teachers' attitudes towards AI in order to deduce implications for professional learning and test a "post-teaching" theoretical hypothesis. A survey was conducted on the opinions of 177 teachers involved in the secondary school qualification course. The teachers…

Physics, even though it is guided by simple principles, tends for many topics to be obscured in the mathematics redundancy. MATLAB®, as interactive software for computer algebra, has already had an important impact on the way physics is taught by educators. It has also had a substantial impact on the way research is performed by students to…
