Addiction is the state of being addicted to any activity, substance, object or behavior in a way that excludes other activities of one's life or causes physical, mental or social harm to oneself and others. In addition to many and various types of addiction, it seems that an important type of addiction is technology addiction. Today, the dizzying…

Research consistently indicates that adolescents in the 21st century are not getting adequate sleep, which may put them behind developmentally and at risk of poor mental and physical well-being as well as diminished social and academic performance throughout high school. There are elevated concerns regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on…

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted education globally, particularly in contexts like Libyan medical education, which traditionally relies on in-person classroom teaching. This study investigates the perceptions of medical students regarding online learning implemented during the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was…

This design case presents a gamified dictionary learning intervention for away-from-school learning. Intended to be mobile, the game features AI speech recognition for practicing English words and phrases. We also introduce a second feature--an integrated teacher dashboard that addresses issues in traditional homework--a lack of immediate feedback…

The use of mobile technologies has increasingly changed how students learn in the digital age. This study examined the effectiveness of using a mobile application called Shanbay Dan-Ci (SBDC) for acquiring new English vocabulary. Participants included 70 Chinese undergraduate L2 learners. Following a quasi-experimental design, two groups of L2…

Many technological interventions have leveraged physical activity (PA, i.e., activities that involve whole-body movements) to provide young people with active and productive learning experiences. However, there is a lack of systematic understanding of how PA can serve as a learning medium--for example, how PA can support learning and how to design…

In this study, we challenge the notion that technology, when applied in the private sector of Brazilian academic education, serves as an instrument of democratization. To explore this, we delve into the case of the startup Ampli, which offers college programs through a mobile application. The easy access it provides to students may signify…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is increasingly essential in both scientific practice and modern education, yet remains difficult to embed authentically in classrooms. This study addressed that gap by integrating CPS into a ninth-grade biology lesson using a smartphone-based asymmetric simulation. The innovative three-phase instructional…

Numerous studies have explored motivation in language learning, yet few have focused on writing in English as a foreign language (EFL), particularly among primary school children. This study aimed to explore EFL writing motivation among Croatian young language learners (YLLs) at the end of primary education (Grade 8). It investigated both internal…

The inadequacy of technological resources in Ghanaian basic schools compels teachers to improvise ICT tools and resources to implement the standards-based curriculum. However, how teachers adapt these resources to meet curriculum mandates remains unclear. Therefore, this study adopted a critical realist paradigm and a multi-case study design to…

Background/purpose: The students have difficulty understanding abstract concepts that are sometimes difficult to visualize in optics and physics, so learning innovations are needed to overcome these problems. Case-Based Learning (CBL) optical physics learning integrated with mobile microlearning offers an innovative approach to improving the…

This study examined the barriers and coping strategies involved in integrating Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), including AI-driven tools, among 399 EFL instructors. Through a survey and supplemental interviews, the research explored how instructors' background characteristics influence their coping strategies and the barriers they…

Engagement in science club activities at school has been identified as a crucial experience for developing creative self-efficacy while also fostering students' social and emotional growth. The effects of science club activities on students' creative self-efficacy were analyzed using difference verification and structural equation modeling in this…

Today's trend of teaching has changed quite significantly. After conducting online teaching, innovations in teaching are mushrooming. One such innovation explored in this study is the use of a mobile application as a classroom intervention tool in a TOEFL preparation class. The objectives of this study were to investigate students' performance…

Conducted annually since 1969, the "PDK Poll on Public Attitudes Toward Public Education" (formerly the Gallup/PDK Poll) delves into a range of education-related topics. The 2025 poll shows a small loss in confidence in the public schools, alongside strong support for career and technical education programs, addressing teacher shortages,…
