This case-study analyzed the pedagogical uses of 1:1 devices at a mid-cost private school in India. Relying on interviews, classroom observations, and naturalistic qualitative approaches, we categorized classroom technology use according to the PICRAT model of technology--Passive-Interactive-Creative and Replacement-Amplification-Transformation.…

This study investigates the role of educational technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), in improving learning outcomes and addressing the complexities of multi-grade classrooms. A qualitative research method based on the analysis of scientific papers was employed. The findings of the study include an examination of the role of AI in…

In today's era, the ability to create and utilize digital games in the classroom is of great importance, for both teachers and students. Yet traditional teaching methods often lack the implementation of games in general, and of digital games in particular. This study presents a unique constructivist framework for creating and integrating…

The advancement of AI-generated content (AIGC) has made creating pedagogical agents (PAs) for multimedia learning increasingly realistic, simpler, and more efficient. However, little is known about the acceptance of AI-generated pedagogical agents (AIPAs) in picture book videos among young children aged 3-6. To address this, the present study…

In an era of constant digital distractions, maintaining attention is a growing challenge for young students. This paper explores how STEM education and AI-driven learning tools can enhance attention skills by fostering problem-solving, analytical thinking, and cognitive endurance. STEM disciplines require sustained focus, while AI-powered adaptive…

In the context of crisis situations, making use of the most recent opportunities for future educators' training is a pertinent issue. The purpose of the suggested article is to evaluate how cutting-edge technologies might help train future preschool education specialists and assess how well they work in emergency scenarios. In order to accomplish…

In science education, educators frequently encounter the challenges of inadequate resources, equipment, and pedagogical strategies when planning and executing science projects in classrooms. To address this pervasive issue, forty-one science teachers participated in a training workshop to acquire expertise using Arduino microcontrollers and…

Transforming educational technologies through the integration of large language models (LLMs) and virtual reality (VR) offers the potential for immersive and interactive learning experiences. However, the effects of LLMs on user engagement and attention in educational environments remain open questions. In this study, we utilized a fully…

Area measurement is a foundational component across STEM fields. The area formula offers limited insight for children trying to develop their area measurement reasoning skills, particularly when dealing with composite shapes. Spatial structuring, where children explore structural units of a 2D space, is an alternative approach. However, poor…

Recently, there has been a surge in adopting mobile-assisted learning technologies, particularly mobile language learning apps (e.g., Duolingo, Babbel, and Memrise). Despite being a promising mobile tool, Voscreen has yet to receive due recognition from academics in English language education contexts. Regional studies have not investigated this…

This qualitative case study examines how undergraduate students from the education faculties of Türkiye and Italy navigated the processes of group development, leadership, and communication throughout a six-month online eTwinning Initial Teacher Education (ITE) project conducted in the 2024-2025 academic year. Written reflections by 75…

Traditional learning management systems are cloud-based and teacher-centric, limiting accessibility, flexibility, and student-centered learning. We present the Active Learning EXperience (ALEX), a decentralized learning management system aligned with Education 4.0, supporting flipped and project-based learning. ALEX leverages Web3 technologies…

Background/purpose: Current language teaching pedagogy cannot merely be 'digitised'. Instead, new teaching methods must be developed when new technologies are introduced. However, the training in ICT integration was somewhat limited, and the modelling of ICT integration was lacking. Teacher educators themselves are struggling to keep abreast of…

UNESCO estimates that an additional 44 million teachers are needed to achieve universal primary and secondary education by 2030. Consistent education and teacher policies are conducive to teacher recruitment and retention and support quality inclusive education as well as teachers themselves. Initial and continuing education is also one of the…

This study explores the generative artificial intelligence (GAI) prompting practices of Australian primary and secondary educators in the first year following the advent of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Following a brief training workshop on prompting GAI for pedagogical purposes, 38 teachers uploaded 252 prompts they deemed 'pedagogically useful' and 19…
