Gamified learning apps have proliferated for language learning in contemporary Higher Educational contexts, owing to their capacity to enhance learner engagement and motivation. However, limited empirical attention has been given to the psychological and cognitive mechanisms through which learners' interactions with gamified elements translate…

Design ideation is a critical early step in any design process to generate a large number of ideas that can be cut down into the best and most innovative ones to inspire better design solutions and products. This study seeks to unearth how graphic design students generate design ideas and the extent to which traditional analogue and digital tools…

Experiments are considered to be essential components of science learning. This research aimed to investigate trends in the use of science experiments in online learning. A systematic literature review was carried out, with data sourced from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The reviewed documents were journal articles published between…

Cognitive training (CT) programmes have gained popularity, but their efficacy remains debated. This study evaluates the impact of technology-based CT intervention on cognitive skills in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and/or mild intellectual disability, aiming to improve cognitive functioning. Four adolescents with autism spectrum…

This study investigates the relationship between teachers' use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their flexible thinking skills within learning processes, addressing a critical gap in the literature where limited research has examined this connection in the context of teacher education. A predictive correlational research design was…

Despite the critical role that reading for pleasure (RfP) plays in primary education, there remains a limited understanding of how teachers perceive and implement these practices within their classrooms. Recent data indicate a continuing decline in both young people's desire to read and the enjoyment experienced when reading. While research…

Background/purpose: The study aimed to identify the use of smartphones in the educational process among university students, focusing on their advantages, impact, and associated challenges. Materials/methods: The descriptive approach was employed in this study. The study instrument consisted of 25 items distributed over three main domains (the…

Online virtual worlds have increasingly become meeting places for students and teachers to discuss and collaborate on diverse academic subjects and practices. Furthermore, in response to the recent global COVID-19 pandemic, there has also been a heightened drive to provide online educational facilities that harness immersive virtual environments…

Background/purpose: In the context of the digital era, students' motivation and engagement have become increasingly influenced by their level of digital skills.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been introduced into tools and technologies, such as chatbots, for language teaching, allowing educators to better meet the needs of individual students. Chatbots may act as virtual tutors in online learning environments, giving students the ability to access leaning support as needed. Chatbots can improve…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate how generative AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, impact preservice teachers' lesson plans and attitudes toward mathematics. Fifty-five undergraduate students who were enrolled in their first semester of a teacher education program participated in the study. Each student created two lesson…

Background/purpose: Social media has become an integral part of everyday life for people of all ages, including students, offering opportunities for interaction in both academic and non-academic contexts. This growing presence has significantly influenced how students communicate, access information, and engage with their educational environment.…

This study investigates the implications of AI-generated educational content, focusing on its authenticity, reliability, and ethical considerations within the context of Education 4.0. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, we combine qualitative insights from semi structured interviews with 20 educators and AI developers and…

Chemistry education researchers have, for many years, explored different ways of learning chemistry through modeling and open-ended problem-solving. With the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT, students now have access to dynamic scaffolds that can potentially support them in modeling. However, we still…

This research sought to answer the question about what students learnt from a self-regulated learning (SRL) video annotation tool in a hybrid secondary acting classroom. SRL is an important skill for students to self-direct their own learning processes. For the intervention, students engaged in a series of SRL activities through the video…
