This article analyses a specific strategy designed to include generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in students' written assignments. While we recognise that GenAI tools represent a challenge for teachers in terms of their classroom use and the development of digital literacy among students, we believe that banning them is not a viable…

This study examined the effect of gamification on visual programming and computational thinking skills among primary school students, aiming to investigate how gamified learning environments enhance cognitive skill development and conceptual integration compared to traditional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving…

The Smallville Independent School District case study highlights the challenges of a school district facing the COVID-19 pandemic in a rural-urban divide. The district's socioeconomic status, with a high population of economically disadvantaged families, limited resources, and dependence on grants and local charity, further complicates matters.…

Inequities in student access to trigonometry and calculus are often associated with racial and socioeconomic privilege, and often influence introductory physics course performance. To mitigate these disparities in student preparedness, we developed a two-pronged intervention consisting of (1) incentivized supplemental math assignments and (2)…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Artificial Intelligence Tools in Physics Teaching and Physics Education Research.] Artificial intelligence-based chatbots are increasingly influencing physics education because of their ability to interpret and respond to textual and visual inputs. This study evaluates the performance of two large…

The development of information and communication technologies has created limitless prospects for using augmented reality (AR) in various fields. Unfortunately, the multitasking nature of AR systems prevents learners from successfully reflecting and retaining knowledge. This study developed and designed a learning analytics dashboard (LAD) with…

The number of emergent bilingual students in schools is growing, highlighting the critical need for effective and inclusive instruction. This Spotlight explores strategies to best support these learners in their language acquisition and academic success. From expanding dual-language immersion programs to overhauling instructional models for…

Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming language education by enabling more effective instructional practices and enhanced learning outcomes. AI-driven technologies--including tutoring systems, personalized learning platforms, and automated assessment tools--have the potential to revolutionize classroom instruction.…

This study investigates the cultural adaptation of the 6-P framework -- comprising plan, prompt, preview, produce, peer-review, and portfolio-tracking phases -- for integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) in academic writing instruction within Vietnamese universities. Through qualitative analysis of interviews, focus groups, and…

Background: Primary science education is critical for developing scientific literacy and fostering long-term interest in STEM. However, implementation faces challenges such as limited teacher preparation, rigid curricula, and unequal digital access. Purpose: This study aims to map the intellectual structure and emerging trends in primary science…

This article presents an exploration of teachers' attitude towards technology survey scales from multiple studies. It presents a review of literature on the development of survey scales. Eleven survey scales were collected and assessed on the kind of constructs used to define attitude as well as the content representativeness items carry in…

In this article we make recommendations based on our qualitative inquiry into one elementary teacher's iterative processes of designing and implementing technology-enhanced instruction using virtual reality (VR). The use of VR has gained more attention from educational researchers and practitioners but evidence-based demonstrations of how teachers…

In an effort to evaluate the current use of case studies as a teaching technique in postsecondary agricultural education and to develop a model for integrating technologies into the case study technique (CST), a qualitative study was conducted that explored the current use of case studies, examined the effectiveness of the technique, and explored…

Smart classroom is a technology-based learning that is proposed as a solution to increase the capabilities of students. This mode of teaching and learning make the education system more attractive and interactive, in addition to help educators to develop an engaging session. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of smart…

Literacy teachers often feel underprepared to provide instruction that integrates technology in meaningful ways. Yet, there is evidence that teachers can be supported to overcome this barrier through professional development using a framework for instructional planning. Although efforts to support teachers' short-term technology integration have…
