Background and Context: We explored how learning trajectories (LTs) might be used to design variables instruction. Objective: We aimed to develop an LT for variables and use it to guide curriculum development for fourth graders working in Scratch in an integrated mathematics+CS curriculum. Method: We synthesized learning goals (LGs) and levels of…

Practical educational assessment tools for adolescents champion student voice, use technology to enhance engagement, highlight discrepancies in school experience, and provide actionable feedback. We report a series of studies that detail an iterative process for developing a new school climate assessment tool: (1) item generation that centres…

Hardly any other topic is currently as much the focus of social and scientific interest as the use of digital media in educational contexts. In this project, we examine the user perspective. We will explore which findings can be generated from freely accessible user reviews within the app stores and on YouTube regarding users' personal…

With the help of augmented reality apps objects and text can be added virtually to the physical world (e.g. physical experiments) in real time. The augmented reality (AR) app 'PUMA: "Spannungslabor"' enhances simple electric circuits experiments for students with virtual representations based on the electron gas analogy including…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of using concrete and virtual manipulatives relevant fractions subject to 3rd grade students' understanding of fractions and motivation towards mathematics lessons. The study group consists of 61 students studying in three different classes at the 3rd grade level of a private primary school in…

The importance of social networks has increased in recent decades, yet the use of social learning in higher education is nascent. Little is known how to foster high levels of social learning discourse among students in higher education classrooms. To address this gap, the present study analyses the use of a mobile application (Soqqle) for sharing…

This study investigated the utilization of laboratory resources for the learning of word processing by business and home economics education undergraduates. The study achieved four objectives, answered four research questions and tested four null hypotheses. The descriptive research design was adopted and the study conducted in Calabar, Cross…

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic largely disrupted the continuity of educational delivery. Online learning was the prompt response by educators. However, this comes with a big question on the conduct of assessment. Running examinations traditionally is vulnerable to high security risks and administration costs. A precise mechanism to…

Recent advances in smart devices and online technologies have facilitated the emergence of ubiquitous learning environments for participating in different learning activities. This poses an interesting question about modality access, i.e., what students are using each platform for and at what time of day. In this paper, we present a log-based…

New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has funded the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) to implement a project to contribute to enhanced capacity and efficiency of Pacific education sectors through greater use of innovative delivery mechanisms and technology. This report provides an improved mentorship model for the capacity development…

The research has been conducted to examine the feasibility of offering a Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing, one of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) priority courses according to [1] and in keeping with the University's mission and vision. In Nueva Ecija, questionnaires were delivered to senior high school…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study is to explore how community college nursing faculty with experience of virtual gaming simulation (VGS) from a community college in north central Texas describe the challenges and benefits of utilizing VGS as a teaching tool to help nursing students progress in the development of clinical judgment…

Cyberbullying is the use of digital communication tools and spaces to inflict physical, mental, or emotional distress. This serious form of aggression is frequently targeted at, but not limited to, vulnerable populations. A common problem when creating machine learning models to identify cyberbullying is the availability of accurately annotated,…

This text presents an argument that competition, as a pedagogical design element, facilitates students' learning motivation in digital game-based learning environments (DGBLEs). Since competition has long been regarded as an adverse pedagogical element for fostering students' learning motivation, a considerable proportion of educators and…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges to human beings, related to not only health and way of life but also teaching because of the interruption of the standard training at universities imposed by lockdowns. Concerning the latter, the academic community had to reinvent itself, in many ways, to carry on with prepandemic education. This…
