Educational robotics (ER) is a discipline of applied robotics focused on teaching robot design, analysis, application, and operation. Traditionally, ER has favored rigid robots, overlooking the potential of soft robots (SRs). While rigid robots offer insights into dynamics, kinematics, and control, they have limitations in exploring the depths of…

In the realm of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) education, computer programming stands as a vital discipline, amalgamating cross-disciplinary knowledge and fostering the capacity to solve real-world problems via fundamental concepts and logical methodologies inherent to computer science. Recognizing the important of…

Adapting to and participating in technology-enhanced classrooms is challenging for both students and teachers. An emerging need in K-12 STEM classrooms is to investigate how students and teachers use learning technology to engage and practice scientific inquiry. Recent researchers have focused on designing orchestration technology to assist…

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world were forced to take emergency measures in every aspect of life including education. Instead of the prevalent face-to-face mode of teaching, institutions turned to online teaching one by one. This brought many issues along with it. Because of distance education, it became…

Given the potential applications of generative AI (GenAI) in education and its rising interest in research, this systematic review mapped the thematic landscape of 407 publications indexed in the Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Using EPPI Reviewer, publication type, educational level, disciplines, research areas and applications of GenAI…

The purpose of this study is to reveal the meanings teachers attach to social media and their experiences regarding the use of it for educational purposes. A qualitative research design and phenomenological approach were adopted in the study. The participants were formed using criterion and snowball sampling methods and consisted of six teachers…

This paper gathers 14 ethnographic studies in a meta-ethnographic research to generate knowledge on the possibilities of creative teaching practices with digital media from an ethnographic perspective to promote inclusive education in schools. It explores common details between the articles using cross-case aggregation, which allows to get to know…

Although various studies advocate for the integration of information and communication technologies in education, the forced digitization caused by the pandemic has yielded contradictory results on student learning. Conversely, research has shown that when students manage ICT, they achieve better learning outcomes but when teacher-centered…

This guidance provides support for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across various roles in West Virginia PK-12 schools, catering to the needs of superintendents, district staff, educators, and support staff. The guidance intends to focus on effectively and safely integrating AI, especially generative AI technologies, in classroom…

Nowadays there is a growing research interest in the developments in the domain of Educational Robotics. The present paper is a systematic review of recently published Greek research pertaining to teaching interventions using robotic devices in order to present: a) a synthesis of the available results and the benefits from the utilization of…

India's growing economy and population proves its significant stake in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution. India's education and technology sector has grown exponentially over the last few years, particularly in times of COVID-19 pandemic but owing to various reasons, it is accessible to only one in four students in India. AI has proven…

Aim/Purpose: This paper explores the trends in robot storytelling, its conceptual models, and educational implications. Background: Digital storytelling is the use of digital media elements such as text, images, audio, and video to create and tell a story. A form of digital storytelling using a social robot to do the story presentation is called…

The impact of digitalisation on everyday life has necessitated the need for learners to acquire digital competence as part of their education. In order to prepare students to become digital citizens, it has become necessary for teachers to acquire and implement digital competence in the classroom. This study applied the DigCompEdu framework to…

Background: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to reflect holistically on the experiences gained in the past few years. We thus review research on remote mathematics teaching in Pre-K-12 contexts, utilising Activity Theory as a theoretical lens for research synthesis. Objectives: Drawing from a comprehensive overview of the…

The first stage of a study in Québec enabled us to draw up a statistical portrait of probability teaching practices self-reported by 626 teachers at the elementary and secondary levels. For the second stage of the study, discussed here, we wanted to elaborate on some of the questionnaire answers and to discuss professional development avenues…
