Social media usage has become a daily habit for the younger generation. It can have positive effects on educational processes, but it also raises concerns about harmful content, such as fake news or hate speech. Fake news is often distributed with the intention to manipulate the public opinion by propagating disinformation. This includes the…

This study examined how an online instructional module that included an unplugged robot design activity integrated computational thinking (CT), assistive technology (AT), and universal design principles into a preservice teacher education class. The research focused on how this module shaped understanding, attitudes, and comfort levels about…

Research in languages and literacies in science education (LLSE) has developed substantial theoretical and pedagogical insights into how students learn science through language, discourse, and multimodal representations. At the same time, language is central to the functioning of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). On this common basis…

The increasing rate of publications on emotional intelligence, especially regarding student learning, underscores the need to study research trends in this domain. This research utilizes bibliometric and science mapping analyses to generate an overview of research on emotional intelligence in education, using data sourced from SCOPUS. The terms…

Much of the data produced and consumed by students, teachers, and educational managers is in textual format. Text Mining (TM) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) have been applied in the educational context in different ways. Ideally, such applications combine computational, linguistic, pedagogical, and psychological aspects. This article aims…

Over the last year, interest in and use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly increased. Although GenAI is not new, recent advances in the underlying technology and greater accessibility mean that the public can now use it more easily. This poses opportunities and challenges for the education sector. The Digital Strategy…

Intelligence tests have been used in the United States since the early 1900s for assessing soldiers during World War I (Kaufman & Harrison, 2008; White & Hall, 1980). Presently, cognitive assessments are used in school, civil service, military, clinical, and industry settings (White & Hall, 1980). Although the results of these…

Our primary objective in this Special Issue was to respond to potential criticisms of AIED in potentially "perpetuating poor pedagogic practices, datafication, and introducing classroom surveillance" and to comment on the future of AIED in its coming of age. My overarching assumption in response to this line of critiques is that humans…

More than 50 years ago, Bongard introduced 100 visual concept learning problems as a challenge for artificial vision systems. These problems are now known as Bongard problems. Although they are well known in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, only very little progress has been made toward building systems that can solve a substantial…

Recent evidence suggests that not many studies on technology-supported cross-cultural learning considered creating authentic, immersive learning environments and addressing the language barrier in communication among representatives of different cultures which are very critical matters in the field. The present study attempted to address this gap.…

Background: Research into enhancing the effectiveness of information delivery in asynchronous video lectures remains sparse. This study analyzes the nonverbal teaching behaviours in asynchronous online videos, drawing comparisons between pre-service and in-service teachers (ITs). Objectives: This research primarily aims to juxtapose the nonverbal…

The application of artificial intelligence in physical education (AIPE) has provided new ways to improve learning and teaching activities in physical classes. However, literature reviews that provide a systematic review and analysis of AIPE are limited. To address this gap, this study provided an overview of AIPE-related empirical research.…

Background and context: Researchers have been investigating ways to demystify machine learning for students from kindergarten to twelfth grade (K-12) levels. As little evidence can be found in the literature, there is a need for additional research to understand and facilitate the learning experience of children while also considering the African…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is a complex issue that can be discussed from many different perspectives. There is currently a great need for ethical discussions about the use of AI in universities. For example, educational researchers and teachers are already talking a lot about fairness, accountability, transparency, bias,…

Mobile learning (M-learning), ChatGPT and social media are integral to university education, improving accessibility, personalization and interactive engagement in the learning process. This paper aimed to investigate the role of M-learning, ChatGPT and social media in university students' academic performance. It was a cross-sectional…
