"TechCheck" is an assessment of Computational Thinking (CT) for early elementary school children consisting of fifteen developmentally appropriate unplugged challenges that probe six CT domains. The first version of "TechCheck" showed good psychometric properties as well as ease of administration and scoring in a validation…

Density functional theory (DFT) is indubitably the most popular and among the most successful approaches for approximately solving the many-electron Schro¨dinger equation. The level of understanding on the part of both researchers and students using DFT, however, is lacking, given the availability of black-box software. The present work addresses…

The global pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prompted an enormous disruption in day-to-day activities worldwide that initiated swift and unprecedented changes.

GSRSs are known to positively influence students' learning behaviors and in-class participation. Kahoot! is one of the GSRSs widely adopted in the higher education (HE) sector and also widely studied in the HE marketing literature. Whilst varied theories have been applied to study the pedagogical value of Kahoot!, the user experience (UX) theory…

This study aimed to determine the utilization of research results of the selection of marine fungi for milkfish ("Chanos chanos") feed. The study was conducted in stages, starting with identifying the issues in the learning activities of biotechnology concepts, followed by experiments to identify research methods and products, selecting…

Integrating technology into teaching practices often changes teachers' work patterns. Thus, several studies have insisted on supporting such change by understanding teachers' concerns. The present study adopts the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) as a conceptual framework to examine Moroccan teachers' concerns about integrating information and…
