When creating information literacy instruction for distance learners; location, preferred use, technological skills, availability of online resources, and confidence in information-seeking skills and behaviors factor into providing service. This study established areas in which online, traditional, and hybrid nursing students displayed confidence…

Although we can be proud of the way that K-12 educators and students battled the COVID-19 online learning storm, the experience may not provide the most representative version of what "online learning" can be. Many teachers, students, and parents were left with a distaste for this experience even though the emergency shift varied…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, educational leaders were called to navigate the relatively novel waters of unconventional modalities (e.g., remote instruction, in-person teaching following proper safety and health protocols, and a hybrid of the two) for millions of students and their teachers. In the context of this relative novelty, challenge, and…

The COVID-19 lockdowns had forced young children to take digital preschooling and their parents to practize digital parenting. This study explored how Chinese parents viewed and mediated early digital use during the lockdowns. A total of 2491 parents were recruited nationally and surveyed online in late 2020. The results indicated that: (1)…

This article shows conditions for how an educational digital tool can open doors to an increasingly playful world -- and address some of the issues with introducing digital maths in early childhood education. Guided by a design-based research approach, the multimodal design of the educational app-based game DigiMat was iteratively created by a…

Flipped classroom approaches have increasingly been adopted in the Australian higher education sector. However, current research on this approach is predominantly quantitative and focused on domestic students. Little is known about the flipped classroom learning experiences of undergraduate international students in Australia. This paper sets out…

The purpose of this study was to examine how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) integrated a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) into their reasoning process while solving geometric locus problems. Task-based interviews based on the locus problems were conducted with eight PMTs working in pairs. The PMTs could use a computer with access to…

The primary objective of the research reported on here was to decide whether a combined framework of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) could be a valid and reliable model to predict Indonesian pre-service science teachers' (PSTs') actual use of technology (AUT) during teaching…

Despite many known educational benefits of digital game-based learning, teaching with digital games is not yet a common practice in formal education. The role that digital game-based learning might play in future school teaching can be explored by examining the behavioral intentions of pre-service teachers as the ultimate gatekeepers. In this…

Recommendations of the European Parliament and of the Council (2006) defined Transversal Skills as those considered necessary for personal fulfilment, active citizenship, social inclusion, and employment. This study employed empirical qualitative and quantitative methodologies to investigate and understand the perceived impact of COVID-19…

Research on autonomy in foreign language education has largely focused on learner autonomy while relatively little attention has been given to teacher autonomy and the factors that underpin its exercise and development. Similar to learner autonomy, teacher autonomy is a multidimensional construct and the degree to which it can be exercised and…

The term "digital wilds" has come to refer to the non-formal online spaces in and through which additional language (L2) learner-users, using a multifarious array of tools, platforms, and services, autonomously navigate personal learning trajectories (Sauro & Zourou, 2019), developing L2 digital literacies-mediated identities needed…

This study examines the effect of using a personal response system (PRS) on students' academic performance and attitude towards science and technology. The study is conducted during the spring semester of the 2018-2019 academic year in a secondary school in northwestern Turkey. The study is designed as a pre-test and post-test control group…

This article defines 27 criteria for evaluating the functionality of e-learning platforms, grouped into three macro groups: (a) learning management, (b) learning content management, and (c) communications and collaboration tools. The proposed criteria can be used to evaluate any e-learning platform's functionality. They allow teachers and…

We present the Active Learning tools introduced in basic mathematics courses in the Preparatory Curriculum for Engineering schools at Université Claude Bernard. Additions were introduced in the academic year 2018/2019 in Foundations of Mathematics 2, in the first year of bachelor study program. Its content are Linear Algebra (matrices, vector…
