Understanding how different environmental arrangements can affect academic performance and engagement is critical for developing effective and efficient instructional strategies. The current study examined the influence of five environmental arrangements (no-interaction, distractor, escape, attention, and tangible conditions) on the rate of…

This article explores how the adoption of educational robotics, cloud-based animation software, and simplified visual programming software can provide valuable opportunities for dialogic interaction and learning. The potentialities of this type of activity are often overlooked in dialogic investigations. Based on empirical illustration, we discuss…

The present article introduces and develops an educational tool as an interactive digital game for architectural design, allowing the architectural students to challenge their knowledge and experiences. The framework of this educational tool supports a serious open-ended game, which helps students get involved with the game through self-assessment…
