Biblical didactics is an important element of confessional religious education. In traditional settings, it is primarily associated with working with the text, alone or in groups, in plenary discussion or pantomime. Nowadays, however, young people are increasingly acquiring their knowledge--including about the Bible--on the Internet, using new…

This article aims to raise awareness among practitioners about how small adjustments in presentation can optimize modeling in dance for individual learners and increase the satisfaction of students who enjoy dancing. Our reflections are based on the first author's experiences as a teacher and performer and in response to semistructured interviews…

Background/purpose: The teaching of integral calculus has become increasingly important in higher education due to its role in the development of advanced mathematical thinking. In this context, the definite integral is recognised as a complex mathematical object with multiple interpretations. The present article aims to systematically review the…

In recent decades, educational reforms have introduced requirements for the digitalization of curriculum resources, including textbooks. Digital textbooks can offer new opportunities for teaching and learning mathematics through the provision of novel features such as interactivity, dynamics, feedback, and personalization. The aim of this paper is…

Young children now spend most their screen time watching online videos, with platforms like YouTube dominating digital media use among those ages 0-8. Many of these videos are fast-paced--featuring rapid scene changes, frequent motion, and quick-cut editing. Prior research has linked fast-paced media to diminished attention and executive function…

As digital learning tools continue to reshape education, the debate over their effectiveness compared with traditional textbooks remains unresolved. This study provides fresh insights by examining how important feature-level factors--portability, navigability, and visual appearance--shape users' confirmation and satisfaction with iPads and…

Artificial Intelligence technologies have impacted our world in ways we could not have imagined a decade ago. Generative AI (GenAI), a powerful, complex and general use subset of AI has become available to the public in recent years. GenAI's effect on education, research, and academic practice is far-reaching and exciting, yet also deeply…

Augmented reality (AR) continues to demonstrate its impact on education. Despite the increasing interest in AR as a pedagogical tool and the evidence gathered from literature reviews, there has been limited information on how AR may improve the mathematics achievement of K-12 students. This study aims to synthesize the effects of AR use on the…

This paper presents the results of research on developing a method for capturing and analysing student engineering processes. The focus of the study was students in primary schools. By using a video-ethnographical approach to capturing individual and group engineering processes, it was possible to develop a coding scheme to capture students'…

Bringing together the research of leading international scholars in the field of digital learning, "Designing Effective Digital Learning Environments" discusses cutting-edge advancements in digital technology and presents an evidence-informed summary of best practices for effective design principles and implementation within educational…

Students from Asian countries form the largest group of mobile international students in Western anglophone countries. Despite research on the mobility experiences of international students to anglophone and non-anglophone countries, there are limited cross-comparative, mixed-method studies exploring the experiences of host language acquisition…

High-immersion virtual reality (VR) is an increasingly valued environment for language learners. Although reading constitutes a core language skill, practicing reading in VR has received little attention. In this between-subject, quantitative study, 79 intermediate learners of English at a German university were randomly assigned to view an…

This study investigates the impact of Perusall, a social annotation tool, on an online postgraduate course conducted over two semesters at an Australian university. We examine the connection between students' pre-class engagement and learning outcomes, utilizing both secondary data from Perusall platform and primary data through a survey. The…

As a lot of juvenile Muslims tend to be less engaged with their religion and the history of mosques in their community, this study was conducted to develop a series of digital content in the metaverse combined with participatory communication and learning with religious leader to enhance students' perception of community Mosque (Darun Naim, Thung…

For student teachers' professional development, the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents both opportunity and challenge. This exploratory quasi-experimental study aims to investigate the effects of "Human-Human" and "Human-Machine" collaborative learning approaches on the STEM teaching training…
