Time online involves the risk of direct and vicarious online racial/ethnic discrimination. This study examined the day-to-day associations between online racial/ethnic discrimination and positive and negative affect, somatic symptoms, and anxiety. Participants were 208 fourth-year college students (25% men, 72.1% women, 2.9% not reporting gender;…

Free access to powerful generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in schools has left educators and system leaders grappling with how to responsibly respond to the consequent challenges and opportunities that this new technology poses. This paper examines the priorities and challenges that senior Australian educational leaders identify with relation…

Many countries are revising their computing curricula, including Serbia, where coding became a core subject in primary schools in 2017/2018. Gamification is a common teaching method, yet little research explores primary students' motivation to learn coding through gamification. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence primary…

Online Collaborative Writing (OCW) is a prevalent practice among undergraduate students, yet challenges arising from a lack of group awareness (GA) often hinder effective collaboration. To address such challenges, this study included three phases: (1) A preliminary study (n=9) aimed to identify challenges that undergraduate students face while…

Facial expression synthesis in virtual environments is critical for educational applications, yet existing systems struggle to balance realism, cultural inclusion, and accessibility. This paper presents a multidimensional framework derived from a systematic review of 127 studies (2014-2024). The framework addresses three key tensions: (1) the…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using VR technology on the academic self-efficacy, self-regulation, academic motivation and academic performance of Iranian eighth-grade pupils in the field of experimental sciences. The research employed a quasi-experimental model with two experimental groups and a control group. A pre-test and…

There is a growing need to support K-12 teachers through professional development in cybersecurity, driven by the increasing demand for cybersecurity expertise in the workforce. This study examines the impact of a hybrid experiential cybersecurity professional development for middle and high school teachers by examining reactions, learning…

Two global trends that can be observed in computing education all over the world are moving the beginning of teaching computing as a compulsory school subject to primary education and moving from the teaching of user approaches to digital technologies to computer science content. The Czech Republic is currently the scene of such changes within the…

Computer game play has been criticized for disrupting family life by some who claim digital fantasy play alienates individuals from everyday interactions, even as others hold that such play increases sociability among players and their families. The authors argue that the truth about game play is more complex. They draw on research using…

This paper presents a teaching kit that combines the fabrication of a low-cost microcontroller-based potentiostat and a LabVIEW-generated graphical user interface. The potentiostat enables undergraduate-level students to learn electroanalytical techniques and characterize energy conversion devices such as solar cells. The purpose of this teaching…

Notwithstanding the benefits that information and communications technology (ICT) offers to learning processes, the majority of learners in rural and township areas in South Africa either do not have access to computers and the internet, or they lack sufficient skills to exploit the benefits of ICT. This lack of skills and access to computers may…

This paper is one of a series of reports on students' access to technology. Access to technology is essential to educational success as well as workforce and community development. However, geographical, income-based, and racial/ethnic disparities in technology access persist. This "digital divide"--the gap between people who have…

Technological developments bring along lots of innovations. One of the innovations that have become widespread in recent years is the concept of augmented reality. In current scientific literature there are a lot of studies in literature about augmented reality which can be defined as the combination of real and virtual worlds, experienced by…

With the growing advancements in technology and their highly influential role in teaching and learning, present day teachers find themselves grappling with a whole set of parameters against which they need to measure themselves constantly. One cannot be a proficient teacher in the true sense of the word if he or she is merely good at classroom…

Mathematics is a powerful tool for modeling motion, but while motion is a popular context for applying linear and quadratic functions, research demonstrates that students struggle to connect mathematical representation of motion--especially graphical representations--to the real world (Börner et al., 2019). Some students' difficulties with motion…
