Like Alice's journey through the looking glass, so-called "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) in education distorts familiar truths revealing uncomfortable reflections of systemic values and biases. Drawing on metaphor theories and ecological models of technology, the paper shows how dominant metaphors shape educational imaginaries and policy…

Medicinal chemistry is a core course for undergraduate students who major in pharmacy, where complex drug structures and abstruse concepts often pose significant challenges for students. As an important supplement to classroom teaching, online teaching resources have demonstrated the ability to enhance students' interest in learning and improve…

When preschool teachers attempt to initiate play-responsive science teaching, opportunities arise to develop or challenge the play further, for example, by introducing or focusing on science content. The aim of this article is to generate knowledge about how projected images and videos can be used in attempted play-responsive science teaching and…

Adaptive learning technologies (ALTs) provide teachers with student data in teacher dashboards (TDs). However, there is substantial variation in dashboard use among teachers, and many find it difficult to draw conclusions based on student data. Teachers' skills, knowledge, and contextual conditions are believed to be essential in effective…

Developing the ability to understand and use multiple representations is vital for deepening students' comprehension of statistical, probabilistic, and mathematical concepts. This skill enhances problem-solving by enabling learners to translate ideas across various forms, leading to more flexible and meaningful understanding. Representational…

AI-powered predictive systems have high margins of error. However, data visualisations of algorithmic systems in education and other social fields tend to visualise certainty, thus invisibilising the underlying approximations and uncertainties of the algorithmic systems and the social settings in which these systems operate. This paper draws on a…

The release of ChatGPT has sparked an immense academic debate regarding its potential advantages and drawbacks for students. Despite its significance, there is a lack of empirical research on students' attitudes and behavioural intentions towards the utilization of ChatGPT. To fill this gap, we employed the integrated AI acceptance-avoidance model…

This study examines how digital storytelling (DST) facilitates multimodal composition, enabling students with dyslexia to construct meaning through diverse modes. Framed within the cultural dimension of Green's 3D model and applying a socio-semiotic approach, the study explores how students integrate their perspectives and cultural backgrounds…

This study aimed to explore how AI-based educational platforms can support personalized mathematics learning. The three prominent AI-based educational platforms for mathematics were analyzed using a framework based on four dimensions: source, target, time, and adaptation method. Specifically, this study focused on providing illustrative examples…

This study examined the impact of Collins Educative Solutions' mathematics curriculum, integrated with technological tools such as PhET simulations, on the mathematical skills of preschoolers in Jordan. The sample comprised 60 preschoolers from Irbid, Jordan, who were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The…

Schoolteachers are considered as one of the most stressful professions worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the effect of brief mindfulness meditation practice via video streaming on schoolteachers' mental health. Public school teachers were recruited through paper flyers and relevant social media. Participants were randomly assigned to…

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists tailor language sample elicitation methods to the goals of the assessment and the needs of each child. In school-age children, narrative retell and expository contexts elicit more complex language than conversational contexts. However, the impact of elicitation context on younger children has been less…

This paper describes design and content decisions undertaken in the development of the Early Years STEM Australia (ELSA) Foundation-Year Two (F-2) school program. The ELSA F-2 program aims to foster critical STEM literacy and numeracy skills in young learners by providing an integrated approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics…

The use of educational data mining and machine learning to analyse large data sets collected by educational institutions has the potential to discover valuable insights for decision-making. One such area that has gained attention is to predict student performance by analysing large educational data sets. In the relevant literature, many studies…

"Maria Montessori's Philosophy" shows how Montessori's commitment to "follow the child" can be understood as a philosophical method for answering the great philosophical questions that confront human beings. Patrick Frierson discusses historical influences on Montessori's philosophical views, focusing on showing how her…
