By examining initial reactions to ChatGPT shared in online spaces, this study aims to deepen understanding of opportunities and concerns related to integrating such tools into education. With the keyword "chatgpt," we…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots extend transformative impact in higher education. Current research requires more comprehensive evaluations of the collaborative learning fostered by students and GenAI chatbots. However, existing articles have rarely explored the dynamic process of student--AI collaboration in higher…

Background: While there exists a large body of research on the benefits of play in supporting children's mathematical learning, the vast majority of such research has been conducted in early childhood or informal contexts, rather than formal K-12 schools. Moreover, this research has predominantly focused on adults' perspectives of children's play.…

This qualitative case study explored graduate students' views (n=6) on AI-supported applications and an AI-enabled blockbased coding tool (PictoBlox) in science education. Data were gathered over a 39-hour implementation via a semi-structured interview form and screen captures from the activities, and analyzed with content analysis. Participants…

Robot-assisted language learning (RALL) has recently gained increasing attention among second and foreign language (L2) educators. However, its pedagogical potentials and implementation challenges remain underexplored, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. In this sense, this qualitative study investigates the perceptions…

Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) are dedicated units that coordinate and nurture open source software adoption across the organization. Over the past decade, as the importance of software as a research output, essential component of reproducible science, and community infrastructure for open science has grown, several major funders of…

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into education holds promise for supporting and augmenting teaching and learning-related activities. Yet, despite its potential, there is limited empirical research on the use of AI in K-12 settings exploring the pedagogical grounding, impact and implications of the technological solutions. The…

This study aims to develop a location-based augmented reality (LBAR) Android application and test its effectiveness in supporting orientation programs for newly enrolled students. The application was designed to facilitate easier adaptation to the environment and university life for novice students. Unity, ARCore SDK, and the AR+GPS Unity Package…

This study presents the design and development of an online learning environment that integrates Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and gamification to support undergraduate students' higher order thinking skills. The research adopts a design and development approach, utilizing the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and…

While Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents new challenges for doctoral education, it also offers an opportunity to refocus doctoral programmes on their fundamental purposes: contributing to knowledge and developing critical researchers. This article draws on the literature on doctoral education to contend that a fixation on efficiency…

Achieving deep learning in smart classrooms is an important issue in smart education. Research suggests that deep learning requires special scaffolding to support students' learning flexibility according to their own needs. In this regard, this study proposes a smart-classroom-oriented learning scaffolding that can reflect flexibility in learning…

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) states that building bridges between home and school benefits students' development. With online teaching, this translates into informal conversations before class starts or at the end of class as a teacher waits for a virtual classroom to fill up or empty out. Much of teaching…

Cuba has successfully eradicated traditional illiteracy -- with over 99% of its population considered to be literate. However, as other societies have digitized and moved towards a globalized marketplace, U.S. sanctions have severely limited the import of new technologies into the country and classroom. In response, this case study sought to…

Authors share an initial exploration of the pedagogy practiced at The Camphill School, specifically in relation to the integration of technology into its program. An approved private school situated in rural Pennsylvania, which caters to students on the autism spectrum, and others with different or additional physical and developmental…

How do we ensure that all students have the tools and resources they need to succeed in today's educational context?
