The mechanism maps that guide student instruction in organic chemistry curricula are structural representations of bond-breaking and bond-making events that transform a reactant into a product. For students, these pathways represented by electron pushing formalism (EPF) can be challenging to navigate. For instructors, providing formative feedback…

We posit a dual approach to digital task design: to engineer opportunities for students to conceive of graphs as representing relationships between quantities and to foreground students' reasoning and exploration, rather than their answer-finding. Locally integrating Ference Marton's variation theory and Patrick Thompson's theory of quantitative…

The paper reflects on a teaching intervention which utilized digital storytelling as an approach for teaching the subtraction algorithm in 2nd Grade. Literature indicates that this is a difficult topic for children of this age. The aim was to examine if through digital storytelling, students find it easier to understand and apply the two…

Digital devices have become more widespread in recent years and children's interest in them has significantly changed their own learning habits. Individual interaction with digital devices in infancy and early childhood posits both benefits and risks in gaining informal learning experiences. The lack of relevant studies on the issue brings forward…

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically disrupted schooling around the world. Social distancing requirements have resulted in many countries closing physical school buildings or remaining open but delivering a hybrid model of off-site and on-site teaching and learning. This poses a variety of challenges for Initial Teacher Education (ITE)…

Digital culture and creativity are often framed as immaterial (Casemajor, 2015), distinct from traditional media, such as paint and clay, and divorced from the immediate, embodied, and political realities of the arts classroom. 3D printing troubles this distinction, providing a concrete way for students' digitally created artifacts to manifest in,…

This study examined the role that planning time plays in teachers' adoption of 1:1 computing for individualized instruction. In particular, the research explored whether the availability of time to plan for 1:1 computing served as an external variable as described by Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw (1989) in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The…

The purpose of this study was to examine preservice and inservice teachers' perceptions of pacing in ensemble rehearsal settings. We used Silveira's definition of pacing as our conceptual framework: "the continuous flow of instruction without unnecessary interruptions and/or unnecessary sounds and without presentation of irrelevant…

Computer-Based Problem Solving is a combination of problem-based learning and computer-assisted learning. The method facilitates students to use computer programs as cognitive tools to solve problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Computer Based Problem Solving on High Level Thinking Skills (HOTS) of prospective teachers.…

Widespread use of the Internet in 21st century society is not risk-free. This paper studies the comorbidity of some problematic uses of Internet with depression in order to assess their correlation. With that aim, a meta-analysis of 19 samples obtained from 13 different studies (n=33,458) was carried out. The subjects of these studies are…

The study aims to present the development of education in North Macedonia from the country's independence to the present day, as documented in several national reports and other official documents. The focus is on development and changes in chemistry education throughout the years of primary, secondary and higher education. Particular attention is…

The constant struggle to attract new readers has led the digital news media to adopt search engine positioning strategies within their newsrooms. Given that readers are increasingly opting to consume their news via search engines, such as Google or Bing, this study explores perceptions and applications of search engine optimization (SEO) in the…

Technology has penetrated all aspects of the society in recent years. In the education sector, collaborative software such as GoogleDocs is pervasively used by both faculty and students. This is often because they enable frequent, cheaper and faster communication opportunities. Nonetheless, little evidence exists on the factors that influences its…

Because the microworld can create a learning environment that allows learners to interact with the real world, the view of the microworld has been widely used in education and training. In this study, the simulated transactional interactive concurrent system (STICS) was used to provide an environment that simulates the stock market trading of the…

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the relationship between internet addiction and leisure facilitators of Siirt University School of Physical Education and Sports varies significantly in terms of different variables. The study group consists of a total of 192 participants, 84 (43.8%) and male 108 (56.2%), who study at the School of…
