High school students with specific learning disabilities continually struggle with the demands of a standardized writing curriculum. As students age, they are expected to master more complex styles of writing, utilizing differentiated, multimodal supports throughout each phase of the writing process, from pre-writing to publishing. With more high…

This quantitative study was carried out to find out the contextual factors that relate to ICT adoption and utilization by school administrators in a school district in Ghana. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design, and used the census sampling technique to collect data from 69 participants, and analyzed using multiple linear…

E-learning has reached advanced levels in developed countries, but it is still in its early stages in developing countries, such as Palestine. There are still many obstacles to E-learning using. This study therefore aims to identify the most important obstacles to using E-learning in higher education in Palestine from the viewpoint of lecturers.…

The purpose of this article was to compile a general map of existing research on digital education from the Self-determination theory (SDT) perspective, in order to understand SDT's contribution to the emerging field of research on digital technologies in education, the methods used to advance this research, the gaps in existing research, and the…

Modern educational process has to take into account the tendencies in science and tech advancement and also demands of society to quality of education services. As one of the most effective ways, there is reasonably considered purposeful usage of digital educational resources. In this study, there has been considered modern educational technology…

Design-based research (DBR) and cognate, practitioner-oriented methodologies have gained increased prominence in the last twenty-five years, and in particular have become established approaches for exploring how we might best optimise the potential impact of digital technologies in education. This is highlighted by the research that shows how DBR…

In many educational jurisdictions, school systems are striving to demonstrate constant improvement. In Australia, the latest iteration of this concern is represented by the recent federal government report, "Through growth to achievement." The report offers a number of recommendations to address declining achievement in Australian…

Dynamic representational technologies (DRTs), influenced by the seminal work of James Kaput and colleagues, have been in use in mathematics classrooms for decades. In this paper, we analyze 24 classrooms in the United States where teachers support students' conceptual learning with technologies that support explorations of dynamic connections both…

In high school and elementary college physics labs the measurement of vertical distance is often required. Measuring the distance an object falls or the vertical displacement of springs in a Hooke's law experiment are commonplace. Determining these distances to perhaps a millimeter or two of precision is difficult without an expensive height gauge…

The wide use of smart devices among students has generated concerns in the last decades. Critical among many others is stress accumulated from the increasing dependency on the use of smart devices, especially among undergraduate students: "technostress." Observations that prompted this study hypothesized that if technostress is affecting…

Data analytics is increasingly important to the operations and strategic growth of higher education institutions. In September 2019, three higher education professional associations issued a rare joint statement calling for the accelerated investment and intensified efforts to develop and deploy data analytics in support of campus decision making.…

Developing oral presentation skills requires both practice and expert feedback. Several systems have been developed during the last 20 years to provide ample practice opportunities and automated feedback for novice presenters. However, a comprehensive literature review discovered that none of those systems have been adequately evaluated in real…

The design of learning environments is being increasingly investigated, largely as a result of higher-education providers being challenged by both societal and technological developments. These providers are becoming more aware that the quality of learning environments affects students' approaches to learning and satisfaction. This paper presents…

To understand the excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling of cardiomyocytes, including the electrophysiological mechanism of their characteristically long action potential duration, is one of the major learning goals in medical physiology. However, the integrative interpretation of the responses occurring during the contraction-relaxation cycle is…

This paper presents empirical findings from a qualitative study on Minecraft as a mathematical tool and learning environment. Even though Minecraft has been used for several years in classrooms around the world, there is a lack of detailed empirical studies of how students learn subject-related content by working with the game. This study is based…
