ClassDojo is one of the most widely used educational apps in the U.S. Once traditionally seen as a tool for classroom management, its newer communication features--direct messaging, social media-style posts, and instant translation--raise questions about the app's potential to build relationships between the school and home. This qualitative study…

Technology-enhanced vocabulary learning has gained increasing attention, yet its effectiveness remains inconclusive, with studies reporting mixed findings. Additionally, whether integrating self-regulated learning mechanism (SLM) into such type of learning can further enhance its effectiveness remains underexplored. This study examines the impact…

This study evaluates the impact of incorporating mixed reality--including both augmented and virtual reality--into auto-mechanics training for students enrolled in selected public technical technological institutes in Ecuador. The intervention aims to enhance students' understanding of automotive mechanics by teaching the fundamental principles of…

The increasing demand for a diverse pool of computing talent combined with a persistent shortage of skilled workers has engendered a need to support students pursuing Computer Science (CS) careers. Students often cite social isolation and lack of support as reasons for withdrawing from computing programs. This is especially true for those from…

The pandemic transformed higher education, making it clear that the future of education lies in the use of technology. Recognizing this development, this study examined the blended learning experiences of students and teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to propose targeted strategies for the evolving "phygital" (physical +…

The present study examined whether the integration of augmented reality (AR) into fourth-grade Turkish reading lessons enhances students' reading comprehension and motivation. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed, involving 48 students (24 experimental and 24 control) from a public primary school. Students in the…

Prompt literacy has emerged as a pivotal concept in academic writing, particularly within higher education. This systematic literature review (SLR) critically examines and synthesizes research conducted between 2020 and 2025 on using prompting strategies to enhance academic writing among university students. The review aims to identify the types…

In educational technology research, most studies are conducted to explore the effectiveness of using technology to improve teaching and learning. Priori power analysis enables researchers to determine sufficient sample size for achieving adequate statistical power during research planning. Observed power analysis is carried out on completed…

Paradigmatic pluralism in educational technology is a largely unaddressed reality, and we have heretofore not provided guidance to professionals on how to navigate it. Pushing back against mainstream views of scientific progress (e.g., linear, progressive), we must recognize the processes by which paradigms are born, adopted, and rejected and that…

Multimedia environments provide multiple resources for expression, collaboration, and knowledge-creation. Yet there is much to be learned about the design of such environments, the forms of collegial discourse that take place, and the benefits of participation. To this end, we study the 2017 STEM for All Video Showcase, a multimodal environment,…

This theoretical paper is concerned with problematising the rethinking of theoretical backgrounds associated with one of the commonly used educational technology terms (fields)--technology-enhanced learning--in the wider context of scholarship. Examples will show that the term itself is now used beyond its apparent, stated scope, that it is used…

The aim of this study is to explore the research trends in the context of postgraduate programmes in the field of Educational Technology (ET) in Turkey between 1996 and 2016, and to uncover the possible factors that influence these trends from the perspective of ET faculty members. This study was informed by critical theory and employed the…

The purpose of this study is to present results from a multiple-case study on factors leading to successful analytic technology implementation within higher education. This study focuses on factors and characteristics leading to successful analytic implementation at the institutional level and does not discuss specific analytic tools. In the past…

When designing solutions for early learning, part of the process is clearly identifying a problem that impacts the wellbeing of young children that is both well-researched and in need of innovative solutions. However, with such a vast and complex field, identifying an issue to focus on can be difficult. The questions adults ask children have a…

A smart learning environment (SLE) encompasses the use of advanced technology and smart pedagogical teaching skills tailored to suit students with diverse learning needs. In recent years, some countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have formulated policies to implement SLE in their education systems. Since students are the intended…
