Laypeople's participation in the planning of built environments is dependent on their spatial literacy, and it is therefore important to develop this through general education. In Norway, architectural assignments in the subject of Art and crafts are aimed at enhancing spatial literacy, but not all activities are equally educative. The use of…

A significant body of research has focused on the impact of immersive virtual reality (IVR) on vocabulary retention, but little is known about how to integrate language learning theories in IVR-mediated vocabulary learning. This study aims to examine the effect of IVR that integrate input processing model on vocabulary retention for elementary…

This study examines the impact of interactive reading instructional software (IRIS) on the reading speed of first-grade elementary students. Using a single-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design, the research involved 21 days of interactive reading lessons. Observations during the implementation phase helped evaluate the influence of…

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…

This discussion paper reflects on the affordances of face-to-face interaction and copresence in the light of increasingly digitized learning spaces in higher education. Especially in inequitable contexts, heightened dependence on digital platforms for teaching and learning can exacerbate inequalities in terms of student access and inclusion. This…

Background/purpose: Empirical data consistently demonstrate that social sciences education suffers from suboptimal learning outcomes, primarily due to overcrowded curricula and students' struggle to connect abstract theoretical concepts with real-world applications. Therefore, learning that implements technology to assist students in comprehending…

With the proliferation of easy-to-use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, students in college composition courses can and do take advantage of such technology to assist with essay writing. While a growing body of research does not see using these tools as a problem in itself, institutional, departmental, and instructor policies about generative…

Background/purpose: This study addresses the growing gap in preparing pre-service teachers for immersive digital instruction, especially within metaverse environments. While many are familiar with digital platforms as learners, they often lack practical experience in managing and teaching in virtual settings. The purpose of this study is to…

The rapid evolution of scientific research has created a pressing need for efficient and versatile tools to aid researchers. While using artificial intelligence (AI) to write scientific articles is unethical and unreliable due to the potential for inaccuracy, AI can be a valuable tool for assisting with other aspects of research, such as language…

Although existing research has explored various aspects of online exam cheating, there is a scarcity of studies with in-depth qualitative phases focusing specifically on psychological reasons for online exam cheating in higher education context. Therefore, the aim of this mixed-methods research is to investigate the psychological reasons behind…

In many general education classrooms across the world, educators struggle to meet the educational needs of twice-exceptional and multi-exceptional neurodivergent learners, with their confluence of exceptional strengths and exceptional challenges. This article reports the process, findings, and implications of research that implemented a series of…

This study explores the roles of students' help-seeking profiles when seeking help from AI chatbots, specifically ChatGPT, in a digital game-based learning environment, "Summon of Magicrystal." The study involved 102 middle school students who played an online game with the provision of ChatGPT and sought help from ChatGPT while solving…

Background: Artificial intelligence has been reshaping many industries, and education is no exception. When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, it ignited conversations among educators and researchers alike. Despite growing interest and experimentation with this technology in university classrooms, the field has been missing a comprehensive…

Background Study: The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and foreign language learning is emerging as a significant trend in language education. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of technology acceptance, attitude and motivation on behavioural intentions regarding the use of AI in language learning. Methods:…

A strong understanding of molecular structure is key for mastering structure-function concepts in life sciences and is based on the visualization of biomolecules. Therefore, various approaches to help students translate between the 2D space of a textbook figure to the 3D space of a molecule have been developed. Object-based learning is an approach…
