In this article Julian Culp offers a new conceptualization of democratic citizenship education in light of the transformations of contemporary Western societies to which the use of digital technologies has contributed. His conceptualization adopts a deliberative understanding of democracy that provides a systemic perspective on society-wide…

Humans have long used external memory aids to support remembering. However, modern digital technologies could facilitate recording and remembering personal information in an unprecedented manner. The present research sought to understand the potential impact of these technologies on autobiographical memory based on interviews with users of smart…

This article describes pedagogical practices that support deeper learning within an academic program. An assignment is presented that simulates the post-graduate challenge of incorporating soft skills with discipline knowledge. The assignment tasks students with investigating a new problem or opportunity using information from a variety of…

Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been proposed to help operators search for cancers in mammograms. Previous studies have found that although accurate CAD leads to an improvement in cancer detection, inaccurate CAD leads to an increase in both missed cancers and false alarms. This is known as the over-reliance effect. We investigated whether…

Simulations can provide opportunities for engaged exploration in physics teaching and learning. Beyond the two-dimensional world of screen-based simulations, abstract concepts like vectors (for example, of electric fields) can frequently be visualized better in a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) environment. These visualizations can be…

"Presence in the Online World: A Contemplative Perspective and Practice Guide for Educators" is an edited collection that addresses the question of how we can bring the insights of contemplative pedagogy into the space of online learning. While the digital space can be one of distraction and disconnection, contemplative pedagogy offers…

Although research into gamification describes the pedagogy as contextual-based, there is minimal research into analyzing the context when implementing gamification. This research study aimed to examine how professional instructional designers experience analyzing higher education course rooms before implementing gamification into a higher…

In recent years, the integration approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is called for many disciplines, it also STEM education has paved the way for transformative advancements. This paper provides an example of AI-driven learning analytics within the context of STEM education. It provides a thorough analysis of the AI-driven STEM curriculum and…

Personalized learning, which has the potential to raise student achievement, requires understanding the competencies of students. Visualizations can help provide this understanding. Jeon et al. (2021) presented a latent space model that creates interaction maps visualizing response patterns from item response data. My dissertation proposes…

Universities invest in Telepresence (TP) classroom methods to ensure quality teaching and learning while reaching as many students as possible at one time. However, TP classrooms are challenging. Existing research points out the limitations in guaranteeing "presence" in TP as that of face-to-face classes, which positively impacts…

Middle school students (n = 144) worked with an applet specially designed to introduce the concept of function without using algebraic representations. The purpose of the study was to examine whether the applet would help students understand function as a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of outputs and to begin to develop a…

The emergence of educational technologies has spurred research interest in exploring effective ways to enhance human learning in digital environments. Social Learning Theory (SLT), as a crucial theory that offers a conceptual framework for understanding the role of human agency in learning, can shed light on the underlying mechanisms of learners'…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the extent to which newly certified public accountants (CPAs) and accounting graduate students possess a comprehensive understanding of cryptocurrencies and the skills they have acquired throughout their education. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative analysis was used through semi-structured…

Introduction: A systematic review was carried out to determine and address the employment-related barriers encountered by persons with visual impairment.
