Universities invest in Telepresence (TP) classroom methods to ensure quality teaching and learning while reaching as many students as possible at one time. However, TP classrooms are challenging. Existing research points out the limitations in guaranteeing "presence" in TP as that of face-to-face classes, which positively impacts…

Middle school students (n = 144) worked with an applet specially designed to introduce the concept of function without using algebraic representations. The purpose of the study was to examine whether the applet would help students understand function as a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of outputs and to begin to develop a…

Teachers in a collaborative learning (CL) environment have the demanding task of monitoring several groups of students at the same time and intervening when needed. This withitness (both the situational awareness and interventions taken in class) of the teacher might be increased with the help of a guiding dashboard alerting the teacher of…

This dissertation explores the significant role of knowledge and engineering in shaping society, with a focus on the Enlightenment period's emphasis on science and its practical applications through engineering and technology. While recognizing the contribution of practical expertise and technoscientific awareness to societal progress, the…

Research in learning technologies is often focused on optimizing some aspects of human learning. However, the usefulness of practical learning environments is heavily influenced by their weakest aspects, and, unfortunately, there are many things that can go wrong in the learning process. In this article, we argue that in many circumstances, it is…

The acquisition of quantitative measurement data has been a challenge in chemistry education for a long time, as the required measurement devices are often too old, error-prone, complicated to operate, or simply too expensive. This paper presents the LabPi digital measurement station, which addresses this problem and provides a solution for…

Mobile devices have become increasingly ubiquitous in the contemporary communication landscape. Riding this trend, educational apps have proliferated the market, with many which claim to support and improve children's learning and literacy development. Caregivers are often faced with the challenge of discerning the value of these educational apps…

So much depends on online course participants' ability to communicate in ways so that others can perceive their personalities and know that they are "real people." However, the line between the "real" and the "artificial" has been blurred with the rise of generative AI and guidance is needed for integrating generative…

This study aims to explore the implications of using AI-generative tools (tools for generative AI (GAI)) in teaching and learning practices in higher education settings. This exploratory study employs a mixed-methods approach. Data was collected through focus-group discussions, participants' reflections and questionnaires. The participants of this…

The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has fundamentally disrupted our thinking about educational technology. Their ability to engage in natural dialogue, provide contextually relevant responses, and adapt to learner needs has led many to envision them as powerful tools for personalized learning. This emergence raises important questions about…

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…

This qualitative case study aims to enhance the acceptance and adoption of gamification in higher education, focusing on the American University of Bahrain (AUBH) as a unique context. Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this research investigates the integration of gamification in AUBH and its influencing…

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teacher Technological Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge and teachers' technology integration self-efficacy through the use of TPACK and the Intrapersonal Technology Integration Scale…

Technological mediation has gained relevance in teaching mathematics. Its usefulness and impact depend, to a great extent, on how students approach the learning of the discipline. Two independent instrumental studies were conducted to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Mathematics and Technology Attitudes Scale…

Purpose: The integration of mobile technology in ESL/EFL contexts has garnered significant attention from contemporary researchers, teachers, and learners due to the advancements in technology, dynamic features, and multimodal applications. With this growing interest, there is a need to synthesize the existing literature and identify current…
