The transition into higher education (HE) is a "mega-scale" change in a student's life. Many of the needs and priorities of incoming students change year-on-year, fuelled by local and global instability. Relying on the traditional "induction week" approach to student arrival is no longer sufficient. We addressed this issue by…

Background: Due to disruptive student behavior, a K-5 urban school developed a problem of practice that focused on creating a classroom management plan and a social-emotional plan for students to regulate their emotions effectively, allowing teachers to execute engaging lessons that increase student engagement. Informal observations conducted by a…

Capturing the subtle and nuanced behaviours of very young children to honour their 'voice' in research is an ongoing methodological challenge. This paper details the evolution of a framework developed by the researchers in response to understanding the peer-to-peer relationshipss of infants and toddlers when engaging with digital technologies in…

As Métis educators working in Alberta, we have long advocated for the meaningful inclusion of Métis perspectives and relational ways in educational spaces. We take up this work of advocacy and critical scholarship to honour our ancestors and ensure that the next generations of Métis are firmly rooted in their identity and empowered with confidence…

The integration of advanced generative AI has profoundly influenced higher education, especially in language learning. In Japan's exam-focused and teacher-centered English education system, students have few opportunities to use generative AI to enhance critical skills like analysis, evaluation, and creativity. Learning often remains passive, with…

Social presence is a critical component of effective online education, fostering engagement, connection, and a sense of community among students and instructors. This qualitative descriptive study explored how online faculty conceptualize and operationalize social presence in their virtual classrooms. Through interviews and focus groups, faculty…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered significant attention in recent years, especially following the introduction of generative large language model (LLM)-based chatbots. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of ChatGPT, a widely used AI-powered chatbot, among students and teachers. Using the Unified Theory of…

The present study aimed to determine the proficiencies of digital education platforms employed in mathematics courses instructed by classroom teachers based on various variables.

This study aims to investigate the advantages of implementing multimedia resources in the teaching and learning environment of mathematics and statistics. It examines the use of tablet PCs to create video learning resources. Such practices allow lecturers to provide additional learning support to students via the learning platform Moodle. This…

The problem of social adaptation of students in a multicultural environment has always been a concern of pedagogical science. With the development of telecommunication technologies, educational institutions face with the issue of finding effective forms of interaction between students. The aim of the article is to theoretically and empirically…

With the explosion of multimedia learning environments and the use of digital time-compression algorithms in common software and hardware, we need guidance on how to use this technology without sacrificing quality and learning outcomes. The purpose of the meta-analysis is to examine the existing empirical research literature to derive an overall…

In this article, I focus on two competing technical communication discourses used to represent the biometric technology Ghana adopted in 2012 and subsequent elections to demonstrate how communication about technology could potentially marginalize local, nondominant knowledge systems whereas it privileges global, dominant knowledge systems.…

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty engaging in conversations with same-age peers.
