Classroom Response System (CRS) is a promising educational tool that can create an interactive learning space. In high school, less is known about its impact on learning mathematics. Most studies on the integration of CRS in teaching and learning use internet-dependent tool. This paper aimed to determine the effectiveness of the CRS that uses…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has ignited debates regarding its potential benefits and detriments for education. Despite widespread discussions, insights into GenAI's impact on education have been limited because early studies have often been narrow in scope and focused on specific contexts. Therefore, the purpose of…

In a market dominated by Hollywood, it is easy to overlook that the number of films (and televised productions) which are not in English is actually by far greater than those in English.

This paper examines how educators adapted one element of JLF's pedagogy -- the Mic Drop, or closing class -- to online teaching. Class recordings and interviews with educators from four campuses were obtained. A flexible coding approach was applied, followed…

This investigation was conducted to examine middle school students' use of formative assessment technologies in informal science learning contexts. Specifically, this study focused on students' overall preferences when using a game-based student response system (GSRS; Wang, 2015) as a formative assessment. Data sources included students' (n = 42)…
