Drawing upon constructionism and neo-materialist approaches on the role of physical activity and the human body in teaching and learning mathematics, this paper investigates the meanings constructed by students while collaboratively carrying out tasks focusing on the dynamic aspects of the concept of angle in the educational context of a 6th grade…

In this study, the usability of images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in education was attempted to be determined. For this purpose, the DALL·E AI tool developed by OpenAI was used. This research aims to determine the usability of images generated by artificial intelligence in education and the qualitative research design was used.…

This study aimed to investigate the differences between pre-service teachers' (PSTs) perceived TPACK given the different clusters of their epistemic beliefs collected via a questionnaire. The responses gathered from 807 Chinese PSTs were utilised to elicit such a relationship. All of the participants responded to the Pre-service Teachers'…

The Arduino microcontroller is finding its way into labs throughout undergraduate physics curricula, from introductory courses to a variety of beyond-the-first-year laboratory classes. At Davidson College, they use Arduinos in a gateway STEM course for students who are interested in energy and the environment. This article describes how students…

Solar limb darkening is a prominent feature seen in white images of the Sun: the brightness of the solar disk is greatest at the solar center and decreases radially outward towards the limb. White light images can be used to examine and even model limb darkening; however, the limb-darkening effect is, in fact, wavelength dependent. Limb darkening…

Aim/Purpose: The goal of this writing was not to promote any particular assessment tool. We aimed to critically explore the numerous assessment techniques that are accessible to app stakeholders with an emphasis on their strengths, shortcomings, and trustworthiness. We underline the importance of a relatively good and research-based tool that can…

The purpose of this research is to investigate the opinions of future teachers on their experience using "Socrative" exit tickets in the university classroom. For this purpose, the "Socrative" program was implemented as a learning tool within the education programs of two large universities in Spain, and a questionnaire was…

Today, the integrative STEM initiative, which is at the center of the current paradigm shift in education, includes attempts to blend science, mathematics and engineering with technology education. Common considerations provide an opportunity to better define the role of technology within the framework of STEM education, but this has not yet been…

The objectives of these quasi-experimental methods were to improve academic performance in geometry using a mastery learning approach through GeoGebra for mathematics teacher students and to investigate students' satisfaction with using a mastery learning approach through GeoGebra in geometry. The participants were divided into two groups,…

In this research, a model to determine chemistry teachers' acceptance of educational software in secondary education is proposed. The model extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. Data were collected from 556 Czech chemistry teachers and analysed using structural equation modelling. With respect to the…

The purpose of this article is to provide information describing the characteristics of a profession. The objective is to present documentation and an educated opinion of how these characteristics may relate to instructional technology and distance education (ITDE). A brief look at the history of ITDE leads us to James Finn and his six…

Educators are tasked with preparing students for college and beyond (Gómez-Pablos et al., 2017). Project-based learning can help achieve this goal (Gómez -Pablos et al., 2017). PBL engages students in real-world problem-solving activities that allow them to take ownership of their own learning and create real products (Zafirov, 2013). The problem…

When COVID-19 forced colleges and universities to abruptly transition their inperson courses online in spring 2020, many professors instinctively turned to videoconferencing tools as a substitute for face-to-face interactions. The extensive implementation of synchronous online instruction through videoconferencing presented various opportunities…

Badges in education are an increasingly popular phenomenon, and a variety of questions exists as to the abilities and effectiveness of badges. In this study, the effect of digital badges within a Moodle-based online homework system was studied for an undergraduate general physics course at a large research-based university in northeast Taiwan. One…

Purpose: Kahoot! is a free e-learning tool that employs game-based learning which is often considered a best practice in education. The aim of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of Kahoot! in a child development course. Design/methodology/approach: Sections of child development were randomized in terms of review format prior to exams…
