Successful comprehension is only possible when children draw inferences about ideas implicit or missing in discourse. Supporting inference-making with explicit instruction must start early given its importance in comprehension and knowledge development. However, students who experience difficulties with early reading skills often do not receive…

Prior research has highlighted the importance of smart learning in raising awareness and engagement about sustainable development. Nevertheless, few papers have focused on the impact of climate change simulation environments. In this paper, a systematic literature review has helped to shed the light on the research gaps and to propose a conceptual…

In recent years, the integration of gamification into educational settings has garnered significant attention as a means to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. By leveraging gamified elements such as points and leaderboards, educators aim to promote active participation, motivation and deeper understanding among students. This study…

This study examines the relationship between students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) and both AI competence and conceptions. 176 UK university students completed a survey where they were asked to rate statements in relation to their attitudes towards AI, their AI competence and their conceptions about AI using 5-point Likert-type…

E-textiles provide an interesting field of research as they "blend traditional craft with modern science" (Peppler, 2016) and help learners "broaden their own perceptions of computing" (Searle et al., 2016). Despite the promising findings by primarily long-term interventions structured around e-textiles, educational curriculum…

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational institutions switched to online learning to maintain learning activities. With the global pandemic, the educational environment was forced to shift from traditional face-to-face teaching or blended learning to a fully online learning model. In February 2020, China took the lead in announcing…

The purpose of this study was to gauge the attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) use in the science classroom by science teachers at the start of generative AI chatbot popularity (March 2023). The lens of distributed cognition afforded an opportunity to gather thoughts, opinions, and perceptions from 24 secondary science educators as well…

This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in educational settings through a systematic review of 13 empirical studies conducted across eight countries. We analysed the impact of various AI technologies on educational outcomes using PRISMA guidelines and multiple analytical approaches, including…

Cognitive load theory's incorporation of evolutionary perspectives suggests biologically primary knowledge, acquired through evolutionary processes, can support students in learning biologically secondary knowledge, the focus of typical educational curricula. Touch-based interactions using the hands are likely to be biologically primary. The…

The systematic review explores the integration of gamification with the flipped classroom in basic education, combining game mechanics with flipped teaching methods to improve student engagement and motivation, and examines the evolution of scientific production between 2022 and 2024, using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and…

Mobile technologies and the widespread application of mobile devices have become significant in educational settings. Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) is a thriving field of study in language learning and teaching contexts in Iran. This study investigates the current research trends and characteristics of MALL studies in Iran, identifying…

This study examines the influence of AI-powered and emerging technologies on pedagogical practices in higher education, focusing on their role on behavioural intention (BI) and actual usage among educators and students. The research hypothesises that the relationship between each Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT)…

Background: Feedback as one of the most influential factors for learning has been subject to a great body of research. It plays a key role in the development of educational technology systems and is traditionally rooted in deterministic feedback defined by experts and their experience. However, with the rise of generative AI and especially large…

The responsiveness of lecturers at Namibian universities to Moodle as a teaching and learning platform is addressed in this paper. It observes, among other things, the increasing adoption of Moodle as an LMS in Namibian and higher education settings globally and notes that special challenges may be barring Namibian universities from harnessing…

E-handout is one form of teaching material that can be used by teachers and students in the learning process. This research aims to develop teaching materials in the form of e-handouts using Heyzine to determine the feasibility and practicality of e-handouts on human respiratory system material in the 8th grade of junior high school. The research…
