With increasing policy interest in improving educational outcomes, technology integration has become a requirement in Ghana's education system, albeit with minimal impact on student learning. Several studies focus on identifying barriers to effective integration but pay scant consideration to the deeper reasons why teachers use technology. This…

The imbalance in student-teacher ratio and the diversity of student population pose challenges to MOOC's quality of instructor support. An understanding of student profiles, such as who they are and how they behave, is critical to improving personalized support of MOOC learning environments. While past studies have explored different types of…

Patterns are a fundamental component of mathematics, and the patterning ability of young children has been well researched; however, this research has largely been conducted with relatively small cohorts (±70) and in an interventionist way (in laboratory settings or with researchers directly intervening in educational contexts). The current study…

One goal of the Social Work Grand Challenge is to positively influence the applications of technology. Nowhere is the challenge of integrating innovative technology more apparent than in field education settings. However, current technology trends, challenges, as well as interns' use of technology, which is often used in field education settings,…

The impact of digital technology on learning outcomes, specifically deep learning, has been a subject of considerable debate and scrutiny in educational settings. This study aims to provide clarity by conducting a meta-analysis of empirical publications that examine students' deep learning outcomes in relation to digital technology. A…

Virtual reality is a rapidly growing technological innovation that continues to garner attention for use in education. This self-study of two teacher educators spans immersive head-mounted virtual reality implementation from 2014-2023 with middle-grades students, preservice teachers, and adult learners. Empirical data sources include learner…

This article details the efficacy of utilizing narrative research methods to construct the narratives of teachers and learn more about the essence of digital pedagogy and developing a repertoire of digitally-mediated teaching practices. First, narrative methods are justified by conceptualizing pedagogy dynamically and narratively as opposed to…

As the use of data in courses that incorporate statistical methods has become more prevalent, so has the need for tools for working with such data, including those for data creation and adjustment. While numerous tools exist that support faculty who teach statistical methods, many are focused on data analysis or theoretical concepts, and there…

Basic competency in radiological imaging is essential for physicians to identify and manage diseases. An optimal place in which to include imaging in the medical curriculum is during anatomy as students can correlate the 3D anatomy from their body donors with the 2D cross-sectional anatomy. The goal of this project was to enhance first-year…

In Iran, many children spend a great deal of their time in home contexts where they often use different digital technologies such as smartphones, tablets, and some other digital devices. However, the way that children use these digital technologies largely depends on their mothers whose perceptions can shape their home digital literacy practices.…

The objectives of the research: The article considers the problem of preparing teachers for activities in the information space, which covers both the virtual space, where electronic communications are provided via various Internet networks, and certain technical devices. Considerable attention is paid to the study of the peculiarities of the…

It is assumed that digital tools with ubiquitous classroom use have affordances for student agency and a range of social skills. However, few studies have explored the generalised impact of everyday digital classrooms on self-regulation and empathy, perspective taking and prosocial skills. Ten and 11 year old students' (n = 115) ratings of…

To improve clinical teaching skills, feedback on teachers' strengths and weaknesses needs to be reliable, timely, and relevant. To provide timely feedback we undertook development of an analytical dashboard to provide learner feedback to our faculty. As dashboard data displays are limited we performed a modified Delphi (mDelphi) method to…

This paper presents a critical analysis of the multifaceted intermediary role played by ed-tech (educational technology) consulting providers in the realm of educational governance. The study draws on multidisciplinary research and uses illustrative examples from Germany to outline their impact on the integration of digital technologies in…

High-performance computing (HPC) has become a strategic resource that drives innovation and economic growth. In addition, it is important to educate a workforce with advanced computational skills to maintain economic competitiveness. In this project, we studied 133 domestic and international university HPC centers to understand the status of HPC.…
