Formative assessment is a crucial element of teaching and learning which allows students to identify challenging course concepts and enables educators to assess the effectiveness of their teaching strategies. Web-based student response systems have gained popularity for their ability to provide instant feedback to students and instructors while…

Background: It has been assumed that prompting students to plan, monitor and evaluate their learning process could stimulate strategy use and thereby improve learning outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of metacognitive prompts on students' self-regulated learning (SRL) and learning outcomes in the context of…

Background: There is a lack of critical or empirical work interrogating the nature and purpose of evaluating technology use in education. Objectives: In this study, we examine the values underpinning the evaluation of technology use in education through field specialist perceptions. The study also poses critical reflections about the rigour of…

Concept maps are the tools used to facilitate meaningful conceptual learning. In this study, an augmented reality (AR)-based concept map (AR-ConMAP) application was developed to facilitate the concept map creation process to overcome the challenges that students face when creating concept maps. The study was carried out as a case study.…

Given the complex roles of special educators, it is important that they be offered tailored professional development (PD) opportunities. Unfortunately, most PD tends to occur in "sit-and-get" formats, with generalized content that may or may not meet the needs of attendees. Districts are starting to investigate the use of…

The purpose of this research is to reveal the research trends of postgraduate theses published in the field of digital literacy published in Turkey between 2015 and 2020. In this context, a total of 34 postgraduate theses on digital literacy published between 2015 and 2020 in the database of YÖK (Higher Education Institution) National Thesis…

This article presents an analysis of contradictions expressed by pre-service mathematics teachers when performing two modeling tasks using their own technological devices. The study is based on theoretical aspects of contradictions in the fields of expansive learning and modeling with digital technologies. Technology and modeling tasks were…

A recently completed study at the University of Calgary has had broad professional impact and generated increased attention to the role of academic libraries in campus research. This multiyear, evidence-based study was conceived in recognition that the role libraries have traditionally played in research is of decreasing relevance. With support…

Background: Online Collaborative Writing (OCW) has been reported to be useful to improve writing quality in higher education. However, challenges emerge during the collaborative processes, mainly centering on how to sustain active interactions and communications in order to complete a high quality of writing. Objectives: Using the design-based…

This qualitative case study investigated teacher educators at a Midwest Division II university to gain insight to the obstacles faced when integrating technology and the decision-making process in relation to technology integration. Combining the constructivist theory with the TPaCK framework, the study aimed to make a connection as to the…

Aim: Sport activities can increase the number of motor tasks performed by children with disabilities, helping to motivate these children to sustain life-long exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual and traditional golf training on balance, muscle strength, lower extremity flexibility and aerobic endurance in…

This article presents a conceptual understanding of how the powerful digital tool of augmented reality (AR) can be used for enhancing inquiry-based learning lessons (IBLLs). With an increased reliance on technology following the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced teacher preparation time, and a need to provide students with alternative student-centered…

Online discussion research has mainly been conducted using case methods. This article proposes a method for comparative analysis based on network metrics such as information entropy and global network efficiency as more holistic measures characterizing social learning group dynamics. We applied social learning optimization analysis of networks…

Information and communication technology (ICT) is used in all spheres of life, including education. Educators are encouraged to use ICT in the classroom, and their technology is constantly improving. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that ICT has become an essential issue and a powerful tool in the educational process. The ICT is applied…

This qualitative case study was designed to explore pre-service teachers' computational thinking and programming skills in an educational technology course in which block-based programming was introduced in a teacher education program. 12 teacher candidates from different subject areas participated in the study. The findings show that…
