Given a rapidly evolving disinformation environment, many initiatives are currently being developed to counter the harmful impacts of disinformation. The aim of this study is to explore how an SMS intervention, as a hitherto untested modality for raising awareness of disinformation with promising potential and wide reach, could boost media…

A considerable body of research on student-led learning focuses on approaches such as inquiry learning in science education. However, the effectiveness of such approaches for developing conceptual understanding is less than certain. One concern is that student-led practices can overload students' working memory and impede their ability to learn…

Feedback-seeking is a critical skill in higher education, where students are expected to actively engage with and initiate the feedback process. However, limited research explores how feedback-seeking can be explicitly taught. This study examines a systematic pedagogical approach to teaching feedback-seeking behaviour (FSB) in first-year STEM…

Background/purpose: This research aims to identify the relationship between digital intelligence and video game addiction among Middle school students, to identify gender differences in digital intelligence, and to reveal the digital intelligence skills that contribute most to predicting video game addiction. Materials/methods: The sample…

Although there is evidence for a close link between early phonological skills and the development of vocabulary and decoding abilities, it is less clear which factors modulate the development of phonological skills. This study longitudinally explored the relation of contextual family variables on the development of phonological skills in 104…

TPACK development for prospective mathematics teacher students is a crucial aspect in preparing educators who are able to integrate technology effectively in the learning process. This study aims to examine the development of TPACK for prospective mathematics teacher students and the most effective form of TPACK development for prospective…

The educational reform in Thailand is currently in the era of Education 4.0. From the perspective of the concept of modern educators, this completely stimulates the role of educators and practitioners. With the rapid adaptation to the digital age, this is a new education dimension that requires application process. Digital technology contributes…

Background/purpose: Science education has gained more prominence as a means of educating students for the demands of a technologically evolved world. Understanding the variables influencing students' science achievement is vital for educational policymakers and practitioners. Materials/methods: The study used a hierarchical multiple regression…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify the concept of media literacy among students of media faculties and its application in journalism and media, in light of the efforts exerted to enhance media culture in Jordanian universities, as a result of exposure to a vast amount of information through the media and social media platforms, in…

Trust in science post-COVID appears to be a complex matter. On the one hand, the COVID-19 pandemic added value to the epistemic trustworthiness of scientific opinion and its potential to drive evidence-based policies, while it also spurred scientific distrust and societal polarization (e.g., vaccines), especially on social media. In this work we…

The potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to support teachers in providing a more equitable, inclusive, comprehensive, rigorous advanced academics cannot be ignored. GenAI alone is not enough to sustain learning, but when it is guided by a human teacher who knows each student's learning profiles, then realization of potential…

Peer interaction offers critical learning opportunities for preschool students, yet exposure to peers of different skill levels varies within and across classrooms. We explore two ways peers may affect learning: differences in who children play with in a classroom and differences in student composition across classrooms. We find that playing with…

This research aims to conduct a systematic and rigorous review of published articles on how the diagnosis and the design of micro-courses can enhance teachers' digital competence in universities and higher education institutions. The objective is to synthesize existing evidence on training strategies for Teacher Digital Competence in higher…

Since the proliferation of social media access in the early 2000s, educational researchers have grappled with the effects of social media on children's and adolescents' literacy growth. Teens who entered college in 2021 were among the first to experience social media as a worldwide phenomenon--and to absorb it without much adult guidance. This…
