In order to equip students with technology and 21st-century abilities like problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration, a new model of education that involves altered curriculum, infrastructure, professional development for teachers, textbooks, and examinations have emerged. The use of information technology can help spread knowledge more…

Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing focus on spatial technologies in teaching and learning, revealing the potential to support new forms of youth sensemaking across varied settings and modalities. Recent scholarship has shown the possibilities of participatory digital mapping technologies, enabling young people to collect data…

Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, schools across the world closed, either periodically or over a considerable time. The OECD reports that during this period, globally, over 1.2 billion children were out of the classroom. As a result, schools moved part or all of their curriculum online, teaching remotely via digital platforms. Evidence suggests…

Online discussion forums are crucial educational tools that facilitate interaction between students and teachers. We created an online discussion forum, with the teacher serving as the moderator. 58 posts and 1,955 comments were collected. We analysed these data through Latent Dirichlet Allocation to determine word cooccurrence and extract key…

Purpose: This study evaluated the feasibility of the "Start to Move" (S2M) digital assessment of children's fundamental movement skills being implemented by primary school teachers within PE lessons. Methods: Nine primary school teachers in the United Kingdom trialed S2M weekly over a 6-week period. Posttrial surveys and interviews were…

In exploring critical practices that center Black girls, families, youth, and communities, along with emancipatory literacies and perspectives, we argue for an intentional focus on understanding the pivotal role of "the digital" in these spaces. Specifically, in this article, we examine how Black youth (specifically Black girls) engage…

Current approaches to assessing digital competence in education may be too broad to support teachers in developing their online learning designs in specific subjects. During the pandemic, studies have identified that the development of teaching practices (and subsequently their learning designs) has taken a leap. However, because digital cultures…

During the digital age, self-directed learning has emerged as an effective teaching strategy in designing class activities within the educational sphere, prompting an investigation into its impact on the effectiveness of instruction in the K-12 context. This article presents a meta-analysis aimed at examining the efficacy of self-directed learning…

This study examines the impact of feedback assisted by generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on the dynamics and outcomes of online inquiry-based discussions (IBDs) in a higher education context. Specifically, it compares two distinct feedback types powered by GAI: idea-oriented and task-oriented. The study involved 105 preservice teachers from…

Given the emergence of blended learning as the dominant mode of learning at university in a post-COVID-19 world, the need to examine students' perceptions of blended learning is increasingly becoming more important. This study examined the mediating role of student engagement in the relationship between the types of support (i.e., teacher,…

Problem-posing has been regarded as a potential method to engage students in deeper thinking; however, without sufficient supports, most students could encounter difficulties in posing quality problems. In this study, a concept mapping-based online cooperative problem-posing (CM-OCPP) approach is proposed to guide students to complete…

Music education underwent significant adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting broader changes in education as a whole. Distance learning was the only way to organise learning to avoid the consequences of the pandemic. As part of this project, research was carried out in the 2021-2022 school year to determine primary school students'…

This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education through practical, real-world strategies and grounded research. It begins with accessible introductions to key concepts--such as generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing--before progressing to theoretical frameworks and empirical studies of…

The rapid emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems represents a paradigm shift in military operations, demanding fundamental transformation of US military education. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for reskilling and redesigning military education to address critical workforce readiness gaps in the era of autonomous…

"Smart Universities in Smart Cities: Shaping the Future of Education and Urban Innovation" focuses on how higher education institutions are adapting to the challenges of the digital age in a world increasingly influenced by technology and sustainability. Universities are becoming an indispensable element of smart cities, driving forward…
