There has been a movement toward pedagogies that employ student-centered learning (SCL) to increase student engagement and motivation. Our experience transitioning to remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for us to observe how students used the chat function to take ownership of their learning. We used qualitative…

Traditional education often relies on passive learning approaches, whereas modern medical students increasingly seek interactive, technology-enhanced experiences. Despite the growing use of digital tools in anatomy education, there remains a lack of structured, student-centered 3D modeling courses embedded within the undergraduate medical…

Technology will not inherently make students in any classroom more mathematically inquisitive, however, the use of technology can foster student-centered inquiry. This article explores the impact technology has on mathematics learning when it emphasizes the ways it supports student-centered pedagogies. Through this lens, the authors focus on…

Teachers in a rural southeastern state school district are not integrating technology in ways that provide students with engaging technology-based learning experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' current technology-based instructional practices based on the substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition (SAMR)…

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has ignited an increase in discussions about generative AI tools in education. In this study, a human-centered learning and teaching framework that uses generative AI tools for self-regulated learning development through domain knowledge learning was proposed to catalyze changes in educational…

Present-day society calls for new student-centred didactic methodologies that make the student an active participant in their learning process. Strategies aimed at training citizens and professionals must adapt and respond to a society that is constantly changing. In this context, self-regulated learning and educational co-design emerge as key…

Secondary teachers and college instructors use social media to engage their students in learning; however, little is known about middle school teachers' use. The problem is that although middle school students intuitively use social media in their personal lives, it is unclear why and how teachers use it for instructional purposes with learners…

This study investigated the understudied area of virtual reality (VR) creation among elementary-aged youth, exploring their engagement in VR creation and the ways in which educators can facilitate this creative process. Using an embedded case study, the researcher examined how the youth visualize writing using the VR creation tool, CoSpaces. To…

There are several academic resources to help an instructor navigate the asynchronous online classroom. Teaching in the current collegiate environment presents some different strategic and pedagogical considerations, among them student engagement within the classroom. Student engagement seems to be the golden key to unlocking the door of success in…

At Lockyer District High School, the inquiry-based learning undertaken by the STEM Signature Program is complementary to the general capabilities, particularly: critical and creative thinking; information and communication technology; and personal and social capability. In this STEM program, numerous different digital technologies were used to…

The use of digital technologies (calculators, computers, simulations, etc.) is recommended for teaching and learning mathematics (NCTM 2000; NGA Center and CCSSO 2010). Given these recommendations, technology has been increasingly integrated into the mathematics classroom for decades. The authors began asking themselves about the nature of…

As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, public school educators encountered several difficulties acquiring and integrating curriculum online. The problem addressed in this study was the negative effect online curriculum implementation had on student achievement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this qualitative, exploratory case…

Teaching and assessment practices rapidly moved online as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic. Academic integrity is paramount for the credibility and reputation of educational institutions regardless of their teaching modality. Students commit plagiarism when they copy, borrow, or steal others' work, without properly acknowledging their…

Despite being widely adopted in higher education to support student-centred learning, the pedagogical design of flipped classrooms has been criticised as lacking in theoretical framing. This study proposes that the pedagogical dimensions of personalisation, higher-order thinking, self-direction, and collaboration can be used as theoretical lenses…

Background: STEM education has become a focus of research and teaching interest in recent years. However, not all scholars agree on the definition and purpose of STEM education. This paper summarizes related past research and suggests that, according to the requirements of Taiwan's educational environment, STEM education should focus on the…
