What follows is a manifesto to substantiate four theses. "First," science and science education are not what they purport to be and require recategorization as technoscience and technoscience education. "Second," technoscience and technoscience education are constituted in the pernicious whiteness of coloniality and need to be…

The usability of sensory substitution devices can be enhanced with practice. However, practice conditions impact the effectiveness of skill acquisition. This study investigates the effect of constant and variable practice conditions on performing a reach and grasp task with a sensory substitution glove. The glove provides vibrotactile information…

We elaborated on the issues of reducing the mismatch between the job market and the higher education market through the transformation of the institutional model of education that is aimed at satisfying the need of the segment of remote investment transactions for skilled employees. Combination of the theory of institutionalism, technological…

This study explores the development of research on creative thinking in education over the past ten years through a bibliometric analysis of 249 Scopus peer-reviewed articles. The findings indicate a significant increase in interest and number of publications. Innovative methods, such as problem-based and collaborative learning, were identified as…

This essay challenges the broad, ongoing neoliberal transformation of higher education as expressed in contemporary literacy pedagogies based in and around Learning Management Systems. Building on Chantal Mouffe's conception of agonistic democracy, we seek to model and encourage an alternative--a critical literacy that highlights competing…

Scholars and practitioners seldom consider pedagogy as a starting point in their appreciations of the role of leadership in education. However, the rise of invisible pedagogies may warrant a revaluation of this practice. Invisible pedagogies are enabled by cloud-based learning management platforms and their data-driven algorithms and protocols,…

The Joan Ganz Cooney Center, with support from the Walton Family Foundation, has embarked upon a three-year initiative that aims to help shape educational technology products that address specific literacy outcomes. In 2023, the Cooney Center Sandbox was launched to help digital media innovators answer the following questions: "How do you…

This paper explores how a teaching sequence designed using the notion of Papert's "powerful ideas" might bridge the disparate institutional logics found in makerspaces and schools. Using a case study approach, we analyzed two elementary novice maker teachers' implementations of a maker teaching sequence while navigating the institutional…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to teachers. Teachers need a creative way to continue the engaged teaching process under the constraints of physical separation, emotional anxiety, and insecurity. Technology teachers who develop students' technology literacy or skills should be aware of the importance of integrating…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that can generate content such as texts, images, videos, sounds, etc. While GenAI tools have been utilized in various contexts, their utilization in the academic context is still a controversial topic. Scholars observed that many universities have banned GenAI…

Libraries are increasingly adopting information and communication technologies to enhance their services. To ensure all libraries can benefit, regardless of budget, this study highlights gLabel, a freely available open-source tool for barcode label development. The purpose of this paper is to promote gLabel for low-budget libraries by exploring…

This article examines sociotechnical imaginaries of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) through the cultural lens of the film "Barbie." The hyperreal setting of Barbieland serves as a prescient metaphor for education in an increasingly synthetic world where the real and artificial converge. By analysing representations of…

The implementation of gamification in primary education has garnered significant attention for its potential to enhance learning experiences and outcomes. This systematic review examines the integration of gamification across various subjects in primary education from 2022 to 2024, focusing on the types of strategies employed and their impacts. By…

The increasing use of complex machine learning models in education has led to concerns about their interpretability, which in turn has spurred interest in developing explainability techniques that are both faithful to the model's inner workings and intelligible to human end-users. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to creating a…

Purpose: Deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs) experience challenges in early development of hearing and language skills that may place them at risk for externalizing behavior problems, such as aggression, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and oppositional behavior. This study is a longitudinal investigation of (a) between-groups differences in…
