American education has focused on reading and literacy skills for decades, but the ongoing reading wars have had little effect on student performance. Authors Rick Ginsberg and Yong Zhao suggest that the growth of artificial intelligence makes this hyperfocus on reading especially misguided because it's becoming increasingly easy to access…

Much attention has been paid to computational thinking (CT) as a problem-solving approach across various curricula, particularly in mathematics. Most studies solely used a digital instrument or examined transfer of program solving ability, neglecting the mathematics knowledge domain or how the novel digital instrument functions alongside the…

Background: Conversation partner schemes for people with aphasia (PWA) can promote communication and quality of life as well as support skill development for students. Initial evidence indicates online conversation partner formats are acceptable as an alternative to in-person delivery. Aims: To evaluate the experiences of PWA of an online…

Bullying victimization, which adversely affects the physical and mental health of adolescents, may trigger bullying behaviors. This study aimed to explore the potential pathways from traditional bullying victimization to becoming a bullying perpetrator and to compare the differences between traditional and cyberbullying perpetration. This study…

Digital simulations are powerful instructional tools for physics education. They are often designed to visualize canonical physical phenomena, with adjustable parameters for influencing the system. While this is sufficient for developing conceptual and qualitative intuitions, it does little to help physics students build connections between…

It is of critical importance to be aware of the historical discrimination embedded in the data and to consider a fairness measure to reduce bias throughout the predictive modeling pipeline. Given various notions of fairness defined in the literature, investigating the correlation and interaction among metrics is vital for addressing unfairness.…

The PISA assessment 2022 of creative thinking was a moonshot effort that introduced significant advancements over existing creativity tests, including a broad range of domains (written, visual, social, and scientific), implementation in many languages, and sophisticated scoring methods. PISA 2022 demonstrated the general feasibility of assessing…

This quasi-experimental study aims to investigate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AIVA app) within an interactive music-learning environment. The ANCOVA was used to compare the performance of students using Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist (AIVA) and those studying with traditional lecture-based instructions. Students in the…

Researchers have increasingly engaged in academic communities on social networking sites (SNSs). This study seeks to examine the impact of academic community engagement on Facebook (ACEF) on researchers' creative behaviour and work performance, with the mediating mechanisms of relationship quality and knowledge sharing. Data were obtained from 213…

Having access to the Internet and acquiring the skills necessary to use, question, and create in a digital environment have become essential to living and working in the 21st century. Yet, this move to digitalization has created a digital divide between those who have broadband "access" and the "skills and attitudes" to…

Generative AI has recently gained the ability to generate computer code. This development is bound to affect how computer programming is taught in higher education. We used past programming assignments and solutions for textbook exercises in our introductory programming class to analyze how accurately one of the leading models, ChatGPT, generates…

Amidst escalating global crises, universities and colleges are becoming increasingly digitalized to respond to evolving educational demands. However, technology and digitalization are also introducing new forms of inequality and extending existing disparities. The purpose of this study was to investigate these disparities, their impact on…

The extent to which writing modality (i.e., hand-writing vs. keyboarding) impacts second-language (L2) writing assessment scores remains unclear. For alphabetic languages like English, research shows mixed results, documenting both equivalent and divergent scores between typed and handwritten tests (e.g., Barkaoui & Knouzi, 2018). However, for…

Purpose -- Through the use of content analysis, this study was aimed at identifying the patterns in research conducted during the past decade and investigating the bibliometric outcomes of articles focused on augmented reality (AR) utilization in biology learning. Methodology -- This study conducted a bibliometric analysis. To perform the…

Dyslexia is a learning disability that significantly hinders students' abilities to read and comprehend educational materials, posing a substantial challenge within educational environments. This paper introduces an innovative educational system, ReadSmart, that integrates both Augmented Reality (AR) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)…
