Background/purpose: In the first quarter of the twenty-first century, unprecedented developments in technology began to revolutionize 'modern' society and started the era of Industry 4.0, which is characterized by the rapid integration of the newest technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart technologies, and artificial intelligence…

Background/purpose: The use of digital tools influences academic performance, either improving learning or distracting students. In that framework, the research was conducted to analyze how the use of digital tools influences the academic performance of university students from a cross-sectional perspective. The objective was to investigate the…

This meta-analysis examines the impact of technology in statistics learning, comparing experimental and control groups across 34 studies, resulting in 55 effect sizes. The random effects model revealed a significant standardized mean difference (gRE = 0.50, 95% CI [0.35, 0.64], p < 0.01), indicating a positive effect of using technology in…

This article examines sociotechnical imaginaries of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) through the cultural lens of the film "Barbie." The hyperreal setting of Barbieland serves as a prescient metaphor for education in an increasingly synthetic world where the real and artificial converge. By analysing representations of…

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) appears to be one of the potential responses to the world's educational needs. It emerged as an initiative to promote digital, collaborative internationalization, and its implementation and interest among teacher communities have steadily increased. This research analyzed COIL experiences,…

I nudge reevaluation of the idea that artificial intelligence for education (AIED) is merely about using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to automate understanding and responding to learning processes. Instead, I advocate for a human-centered approach to AIED that emphasizes the importance of personal connections, relationship-building, and…

This study compared two versions of ChatGPT, Model 3.5 and reasoning o1, on their capacity to provide pedagogically sound and personalized trigonometry tutoring. Using comparative content analysis, the ability of both models to deliver clear, accurate, and contextually relevant explanations and examples on basic trigonometric concepts was…

Education technology companies make millions of dollars from their education products and services. Ed tech companies could reinvest in school customers. Columnist Jonathan E. Collins suggests they could do this by incorporating teachers, especially teachers of color and teachers serving vulnerable subgroups of students, into their corporate board…

Education is a dynamic field that must be adaptable to sudden changes and disruptions caused by events like pandemics, war, and natural disasters related to climate change. When these events occur, traditional classrooms with traditional or blended delivery can shift to fully online learning, which requires an efficient learning environment that…

The digitalisation of education has been emphasised over the last two decades, affecting and developing both the theories and practices of teaching and learning. Considering these developments, the need for addressing teachers' and students' digital competence has gained ground. In the last few years, the concept of digital agency has been noted…

Stakeholder engagement strategies have the potential for adverse education business outcomes. Education business leaders are concerned about the impact of ineffective stakeholder engagement strategies on digital transformation initiatives. Grounded in stakeholder theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to identify and explore…

This study examines the impact of various factors on teachers' anxiety toward teaching in Virtual Reality (VR) environments. Specifically, the research proposes a hypothetical model and investigates the influence of technical proficiency, self-efficacy, and school support on VR teaching anxiety. A total of 329 teachers with prior experience in VR…

Background: Artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) has stepped into the spotlight with the emergence of ChatGPT, making effective use of AIGC for education a hot topic. Objectives: This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of integrating AIGC into programming learning through debugging. First, the study presents three levels of AIGC…

Many technology acceptance models used in education were originally designed for general technologies and later adopted by education researchers. This study extends Davis' technology acceptance model to specifically evaluate educational technologies in higher education, focusing on virtual classrooms. Prior research informed the construction of…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models have been a commonly used tool for tracking students' knowledge status. Recent advances in deep knowledge tracing (DKT) have demonstrated increased performance for knowledge tracing tasks in many datasets. However, interpreting students' states on single knowledge components (KCs) from DKT models could be challenging…
