It addresses the challenges impeding DT's incorporation and offers a blueprint for fostering innovation and efficiency within academic institutions.…

Advancements in computation and machine learning have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to address once insurmountable challenges. Bioinformatics, a field that heavily relies on computer-driven analysis of biological data, has greatly benefited from these developments. However, traditional bioinformatics instruction frequently lacks the…

This study investigated the use of virtual chatbots in a 3D multi-user virtual environment (3D MUVE) to enhance the communication skills of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners. Several virtual chat agents, developed using pattern matching techniques and embedded in Second Life, created a blended learning environment in which CFL learners…

This study investigates whether Vietnamese students face specific challenges when visualizing skew versus intersecting lines and whether using the anaglyph feature of GeoGebra can help overcome these difficulties. Employing a design-based research approach over four phases with 12th-grade students, the study involved tasks in traditional…

Computational thinking skills as core skills for emerging citizens are receiving great attention from scholars and educators. Various measures have been taken to improve students' computational thinking skills. Among these measures, the smart classroom, as a technology-enhanced learning environment, plays an important role in cultivating students'…

This study aimed to describe students' ability to arrange proof of abstract algebra problems (Subgroups) after receiving Information Technology (IT)-assisted scaffolding materials. To achieve this objective, we conducted exploratory qualitative research with students of Mathematics Education, Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban, participating in the…

This qualitative study used a cooperative inquiry design to explore novice teachers' adoption of critical views in their descriptions, perceptions, and uses of technology during student teaching and first-year teaching. Interviews, observations, written philosophy of education statements, lesson plans, and digital teaching artifacts composed the…

Digital technologies have facilitated access to instructional multimedia materials, and a large body of literature has shown that these technologies can support students' learning. However, recent research also shows that many teachers have misconceptions about learning from multimedia materials. Further, numerous studies point out that numerous…
