This paper reviews the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in transforming the landscape of educational game design. The recent rise and development of GenAI have expanded its applications in creating dynamic and interactive game systems. This review explores the potential of GenAI to craft personalized educational game designs that…

Purpose: The teaching-research nexus (TRN) has assumed a prominent role in global higher education systems. However, the connection between the two domains has been subject to diverse interpretations within well-developed higher education systems. Little is known about translating TRN into policy and practice in diverse higher education spaces. In…

Research in mathematics education has long identified the ideology of certainty as central to mathematical instruction and to the way in which mathematics is (mis)used in social and political discourses. As we will see, this ideology is not merely a matter of individual beliefs, but is deeply embedded in the material practices and power structures…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review and categorize current trends in student engagement and performance prediction using machine learning techniques during online learning in higher education. The goal is to gain a better understanding of student engagement prediction research that is important for current educational planning and…

The authentic research experience, which provides students with meaningful collaborative research opportunities designed to promote discovery and innovation under the guidance of mentors, is increasing as a way to attract and engage students in STEM fields. However, despite the increase in authentic research experiences offered to students, there…

This study employs a bibliometric analysis to present the shifting trends in research on teacher competence through an interdisciplinary approach, solely based on scientific contributions shared in the Scopus database. Searches are conducted in the database using search criteria such as "teacher competence" or "teacher…

The attitude of teachers towards inclusive education is a key issue for the success of inclusive education. Many studies have been designed to assess teachers' attitudes, but none have looked at the bias caused by teachers' non-response to questionnaires on their attitudes. Non-response biases are difficult to identify because it is impossible to…

Despite its many benefits, curriculum review has yet to become a widespread practice in many areas of higher education. Previous research suggests that this is because of a lack of faculty time and expertise to conduct curriculum reviews independently. As such, this action research study builds on the existing literature to explore the utility of…

Decades of research form an extensive body of knowledge on International Collaboration in Research (IRC). However, experiential perspectives of the operative core (the academics) in research collaboration, remained relatively uninvestigated. Besides, explorations on how academics in peripheral countries accomplish IRC are still very limited.…

Background/purpose: Recent developments in information and communication technology have opened up many new opportunities in various research fields, including religious studies (Burton, 2020). One of the most notable innovations was integrating artificial intelligence and deep learning in religious studies, including Quranic education and…

Design education includes many pursuits that deal with creativity, thinking and visual communication techniques in the learning process. This study aims to create a participatory learning algorithm based on a location, while measuring the spatial impact through an emergent situation. The exemplified issue is determined as fire that emerged due to…

The production and use of explicit models of mathematics are important elements of research in Didactics of Mathematics. In this paper, we present and compare two different European approaches to didactical modelling. The first, centred around the notion of basic idea (Grundvorstellung), arose in German-speaking countries as a development within…

School climate surveys are frequently used to collect information about student experiences in school. Less is known about how educators use survey data after survey administration. This paper explores one school district's critical use of evidence to promote equitable change. We conducted eight semi-structured interviews with district and school…

In recent years, exposures to organophosphate pesticide have been highlighted as a possible cause or aggravating factor of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study examined if Wistar rats prenatally exposed to chlorpyrifos (CPF) at a dose of 1 mg/kg in GD 12.5-15.5 could express similar behaviors to those exposed to valproic acid (VPA,…

Undergraduate research is a high-impact learning experience, but undergraduate students interested in research often face high barriers to entry, such as limited guidance, confusing application processes, and feelings of not belonging. These barriers are especially prohibitive to first-year students, first-generation students, and members of…
