The study examined information delivery in distance learning libraries through metaverse technologies. The study adopted an exploratory strategy through an extensive literature analysis. Relevant academic papers, journals, industry reports, and conference proceedings located through internet databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of…

Background/purpose: This study scrutinizes the increased gravitation of children towards YouTube and assesses the subsequent effects on their viewing behaviors. Parental mediation emerges as a critical factor within the digital setting. Materials/methods: Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study as a research…

This study explores the effects of a computer algebra system on students' mathematical thinking. Mathematical thinking is identified with mathematical thinking powers and structures. We define mathematical thinking as students' capacity to specialize and generalize their previous knowledge to solve new mathematical problems. The study was…

This study presents an exhaustive analysis of the phonological, morphological, and pragmatic dimensions of an artificial intelligence (AI) application developed to facilitate the pedagogical dissemination of Arabic to non-native speakers. The research examines Arabits, a leading AI application created by the Alef Educational Institution, designed…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has fundamentally transformed the education landscape, offering unprecedented potential for personalized learning and enhanced teaching methods. This research conducted two sub-studies aimed at exploring the influences and differences in college students' attitudes towards generative artificial…

The study aimed to explore the role of e-portfolios in supporting active student engagement in chemistry learning within postgraduate education in Rwanda. The researchers adopted the qualitative descriptive approach, in which a random sample of 4 chemistry students at the University of Rwanda, African Centre of Excellence for Innovative Teaching…

TikTok use has grown rapidly since the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among adolescents. The goal of this study is to understand how and why teenagers use TikTok and how teenagers perceive these behaviors and motivations as contributing to their mental well-being. This qualitative, descriptive study involved interviewing teenagers one-on-one via…

This study uses both quantitative and qualitative data to examine how screen media use and problematic media use changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic (pre-onset, 3-months and 15-months post-onset). We examined changes in screen media use (time spent) and problematic media use (seemingly addicted behavior) in children ages 1.17-11.42…

The metaverse has gained considerable attention and enormous investments in recent years and is increasingly recognized as a critical domain for future interactions and communications. Despite its growing importance, there is a notable lack of research on metaverse literacy, especially in education and training. This study aims to conceptualize…

Digital technology (DT) does not come with a 'menu' of what teachers can select to transform their instructional practices; it is through use and reflection in/on practice that potential affordances are abstracted. Computer simulation (CS) as DT was explored through auto-ethnography, reflexivity, and action research. The findings of the study…

The presence of digital technologies in clinical learning environments is increasing. However, there is little research into how technologies influence the interplay between touch and the acquisition of physical examination skills by health professional students. In this study, we aimed to explore how digital technologies feature in clinical…

Research on academic outcomes has extensively explored students' emotions, motivation, and learning behavior. While further research highlights the role of individual interactions with generative artificial intelligence (AI), a gap exists in understanding the longitudinal dynamic associations between university students' interactions with AI…

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming educational practices, particularly in assessment. While AI may support the students in idea generation and summarization of source materials, it also introduces challenges related to content validity, academic integrity, and the development of critical thinking skills. Educators need…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Artificial Intelligence Tools in Physics Teaching and Physics Education Research.] We present a study in which a version of a common conservation of mechanical energy introductory physics problem, an object released on an inclined plane, is given to OpenAI's GPT-4 large language model (LLM). We…

The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the need for digital transformation in higher education, emphasizing the importance of incorporating digital pedagogy. This study explored student experiences and perceptions of digital storytelling, a multimedia-based narrative technique, as an innovative assessment method in occupational therapy education.…
