The paper introduces the notion of collateral creativity as an unintended outcome of the appropriate use of technology, both physical and digital, in the teaching of mathematics. The notion is motivated by Dewey's conceptual framework of collateral learning which enables one gaining knowledge beyond the intent of the traditional curriculum.…

It is becoming increasingly vital for the next generation of students to acquire problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative skills for them to be successful in the 21st century. The use of technology greatly bolsters the integration of these skills. Robotics, one of the many emerging arrays of technologies, presents learners with…

One way of triggering students' interest in chemistry is making chemistry education more meaningful. Four characteristics of meaningful chemistry education (MCE) were identified in projects that involved a redesign of curriculum materials: daily life context, the need-to-know principle, students' input, and the macro--micro connection. Chemistry…

In this article, we discuss the role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education. The integration of AI in education has sparked a paradigm shift in teaching and learning, presenting both unparalleled opportunities and complex challenges. This paper explores critical aspects of implementing AI in education to advance educational goals,…

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. Teacher beliefs played a prominent role in technology integration. The specific problem was that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon teacher dispositions toward…

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a gap in the preparation for virtual instruction and an effective use of technology. As teachers used technology and digital resources, perhaps unfamiliar to them, in response to the pandemic, there became an apparent need to determine what technology-related professional development, if any, teachers were provided…

Inner-city students, over the age of 25, who are enrolled in a nonprofit organization to acquire their high school diploma experience stressors. Faculty members of the nonprofit organization need to either develop strategies or enhance the strategies in place to address stressors students endure while pursuing an online education. Stress related…

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…

This research builds on the recently published paper (Garden, 2022c), which explored through interviews the use of iPads as cameras to enhance Forest School practice. Children's perspectives of the Forest School space captured what was important to them on camera (Garden, 2022c). Working with the same group of 32 Key Stage 2 children selected from…

This sequential explanatory mixed method study addressed the effect of technology-facilitated Language Experience Approach on students' language arts scores and reading attitudes of standard I students in Belize City. There were three intervention and three control schools that participated in the study. The study's first phase was a 10-week…

The use of instructional technology resources in the teaching and learning process may influence student academic achievement. The problem addressed in this study is a lack of understanding of the effectiveness of instructional technology resources on elementary student academic achievement. The purpose of this quantitative quasi-experimental…

With the constantly developing technology, the education given in the schools has become far beyond the classical understandings and equipments. Such a transformation has made it compulsory for teachers to have some competencies, to acquire some skills, and to use technology above a certain level. Turkey is aware of the importance of using…

The three-dimensional nature of macromolecules is often difficult for undergraduate students to grasp. This leads to difficulties in understanding key concepts in Biochemistry, such as protein function and conformational change. Virtual reality (VR) technologies, which can aid students in three-dimensional visualizations, have been shown to…

This paper aims to clarify how the use of the GeoGebra dynamic geometry program helps students understand the relationships between different representations of a linear function and develop the ability to plot a linear function. The study was based on a quasi-experimental design. In control classes, the topic of functions was presented without…
