Purpose: The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education have significantly impacted learning, teaching and assessment practices. This development has raised critical questions about necessary changes to learning design and traditional assessment methods for a society where GenAI becomes…

This paper describes how plate tectonics and rock genesis, two topics that are typically addressed separately in secondary Earth science classes, can be taught together as an integrated system. We define the TecRocks Reasoning Framework, developed to support student reasoning about rock formation situated in the context of plate tectonics. We also…

Clicker-integrated instruction is the current innovation in teaching and learning. Several studies used this technology to investigate learning processes, while others mainly used it to asses for learning, facilitation of group discussion and students' participation. All applications require creativity and analytical thinking and very much…

Many existing reviews of educational technologies focus on the affordances of specific types of technology rather than how different technologies can be designed and used to achieve specific teaching and learning objectives. Furthermore, there appears to be a widely held assumption that the use of educational technology will result in improved…

The current educational landscape is flooded with new technological tools, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence, which is applicable at all levels of instructional practices. However, the application of technology in assessment in higher education has been understudied. This study focused on filling this research gap by examining…

As Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies revolutionize educational landscapes, European higher education institutions face the critical challenge of bridging the gap between institutional vision and practical implementation of these advanced technologies. This study examines VR/AR integration readiness through a comprehensive…

Amalgamating generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking present a promising avenue to revolutionize assessment pedagogy and foster higher-order cognitive skills needed for learning autonomy in the domain of self-directed learning. Gen AI, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a…

We focus on the integration of STACK--a Computer-Aided Assessment (CAA) technology--in the mathematics department of a high-ranking University in the United Kingdom. We study a department-wide project where instructors were expected to implement STACK into continuous assessment tasks for (nearly) all core modules across the first two years of…

This dissertation focuses on three manuscripts all related to bolstering science achievement through recommendations from the National Research Council (NRC) regarding the teaching and learning of science. The manuscripts address meeting the NRC's call to incorporate curriculum and assessment that lead to more in-depth knowledge that can be…

The field of school psychology has seen the gradual implementation of technology in day-to-day practice. The earliest computer-based technology adopted by school psychologists consisted of software programs used to score tests, run analyses for multi-tiered systems of support, and aid in tele-consultation. These tasks have one thing in common;…

This study investigates the role of educational technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), in improving learning outcomes and addressing the complexities of multi-grade classrooms. A qualitative research method based on the analysis of scientific papers was employed. The findings of the study include an examination of the role of AI in…

The purpose of this study is to examine factors that influence teachers' intentions to use technology in assessments using the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a framework. An online survey was utilized to collect data, and 360 teachers participated in the survey. This study used partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to…

Quizzes using test-enhanced learning features of spaced, varied, and interleaved retrieval practice have been shown to support consolidation of knowledge gains in students. In this pilot study, we examined the test-enhanced learning potential of a novel quizzing method designed to Spiral Assessment to Reinforce Knowledge (SPARK; Hageman, 2020)…

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education has introduced innovative approaches to assessment. One such approach is AI chatbot-based assessment, which utilizes large language models to provide students with timely and consistent feedback. However, the effectiveness of AI chatbots in generating assessments comparable…

Flipped blended learning (FBL) has become popular in translator training, requiring teachers to adapt their beliefs and attitudes towards blended learning to design and implement professional training programmes. This study investigates the effects of FBL on competence improvement in translation technology education. Using an action research…
