As artificial intelligence (AI) plays a more prominent role in our everyday lives, it becomes increasingly important to introduce basic AI concepts to K-12 students. Currently, most K-12 AI research focuses on introducing fundamental AI concepts using pure virtual platforms like webpages or software. However, robots, as helpful and popular tools…

Digital learning environments are becoming increasingly ubiquitous as a wide range of EdTech products and services enter classrooms and households across the globe. One salient attribute of these environments is their capacity to generate large amounts of data as students interact with the technology. These data logs can help construct a detailed…

Identifying preferred stimuli is an initial step in many evidence-based educational programs for young children. Preference assessments, such as the Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO), provide an empirically validated way of identifying and ranking these stimuli. Traditional methods of training professionals to implement MSWO often…

After COVID 19 pandemic started, United States public schools pursued alternative learning options. Schools began teaching virtually, so schools could reopen safely. Eventually, some schools preferred to continue with the virtual learning option and the face-to-face option with safety measures. The problem is that many teachers shifted from…

This dissertation and research study is dedicated to the exploration of "critical posthuman educational technology." Research in this study determines, evaluates, and considers educational technology in U.S. art museums through a wide-reaching survey and case study evaluations of the implementation of digital content creation in museums…

This quantitative study investigated the relationship between teacher self-efficacy, maximizing decision-making tendencies, and utilization of educational technology resources. The study utilized the Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES), the Maximizing Tendency Scale (MTS-7), and teacher use of educational technology surveys to determine if…

This article is devoted to the development of an adaptive personalized online course in mathematics for students, which was implemented on the Stepik platform. The authors discuss a non-linear approach to online learning that adapts to the needs of the student as they progress through the course content, which leads to an individual learner's…

ChatGPT's ability to realistically mimic human conversation and its high level of ability to handle linguistic ambiguity opens new and exciting avenues in language learning. Building upon the technical affordances of ChatGPT, this study explores the perceptions of educational affordances when incorporating ChatGPT across languages discussed by…

We examined the learning analytics literature over the past ten years (2011-2020). Our results show that only 33% of articles we retrieved focused on students with disabilities and 67% of articles we retrieved engaged with students with disabilities tangentially on several themes: detecting difficulties to provide early intervention, using…

This study is aimed to develop a scale that measures university students' perception of using e-learning platforms by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The sample consisted of 636 university students. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) results revealed 5-factors on a 6-items scale. The five factors that were revealed on the EFA…

This study examines the relationship between teachers' inquiry-based teaching self-efficacy and computational thinking skills. The research was conducted in the survey model, which is the correlational model that reveals the relationship between two variables. The study sample comprised 369 teachers working in Gaziantep with different seniority…

The paper introduces the notion of collateral creativity as an unintended outcome of the appropriate use of technology, both physical and digital, in the teaching of mathematics. The notion is motivated by Dewey's conceptual framework of collateral learning which enables one gaining knowledge beyond the intent of the traditional curriculum.…

Argumentation scaffolding can be used to enhance the formulation of logical arguments as well as the performance of such arguments. This study presents a web-based synchronized scientific argumentation environment integrated with prompt scaffolding to support simulation-based physics learning for elementary school students. To investigate the…

The paper examines the effectiveness of special apps for online piano lessons and measures the apps' impact compared to the control group that studied without the use of additional software. The study involved 350 students. The effect of Skoove and Simply Piano apps on the learning of piano skills has been analyzed. First-year students from small…

It is becoming increasingly vital for the next generation of students to acquire problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative skills for them to be successful in the 21st century. The use of technology greatly bolsters the integration of these skills. Robotics, one of the many emerging arrays of technologies, presents learners with…
