The current educational landscape is flooded with new technological tools, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence, which is applicable at all levels of instructional practices. However, the application of technology in assessment in higher education has been understudied. This study focused on filling this research gap by examining…

The research study explored online language learners' self-directed language learning (SDLL) experiences, benefits, motivations, and challenges when employing educational tools like Duolingo in an out of classroom context. To gain insights into SDLL, in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 10 Duolingo users were conducted. Study results…

This investigation elucidates the adoption and integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies within educational assessments, focusing on the distinctions between pre-service and in-service teachers. Leveraging an integrated theoretical framework that combines the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for…

This study explores uses of the quote-and-reply (Q&R) function in WeChat through conversation analysis. Analyzing 7 naturally occurring chat samples, the research identifies 3 primary interactional practices: sequence-jumping, which enables responses to non-adjacent turns across temporal gaps; response facilitation, where quotes are…

AI-based applications and content have become integral to our everyday lives, increasingly permeating the field of music education e.g. through algorithmically sorted listening recommendations, AI-generated lesson plans, or audio content on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. These tools rely on machine learning and deep learning, which, despite…

This study aims to test the effectiveness of GeoGebra Augmented Reality in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The research population is students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at a private university in Indonesia, with a sample of 32…

Extended reality technologies -- mixed, augmented, and virtual reality, and future-related technologies -- are rapidly expanding in many fields, with underexplored potentials for multimodal composition in digital media environments. This research generates new knowledge about the novel wearable technology -- smart glasses -- to support elementary…

Technology offers exciting possibilities for instruction with learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but limited research has evaluated the use of web-based applications (apps) as learning tools for this population. We wondered if using apps would function as a precurrent response to solve problems in the form of questions on a worksheet.…

This paper will present a brief history of computing education in England from 1970 to 2014. It sets out to provide the context which shaped the 2014 computing curriculum. After this curriculum had been in place for almost a decade, the paper provides an opportunity to see how computing skills, including information communications technology…

Aim/Purpose: This study explored the limited research on the challenges and opportunities faced by students when creating function art using GeoGebra, addressing a gap in the literature that focuses on student outputs and engagement. It addressed the need to understand how students engage with function art and the difficulties they encounter in…

Digital technology is a part of children's everyday lives, yet very little known about teachers' perceptions and practice of cybersecurity education in primary education. This study aimed to shed light on this, focusing primarily on children's password practices. A questionnaire was distributed to primary school teachers across Scotland, with 114…

In the 21st century, virtual reality technology has developed rapidly, and many researchers are full of enthusiasm for this technology. More and more researchers are devoted to the field of scientific research and attach importance to virtual reality research. Development and application is a hot topic in today's world. Virtual reality has been…

While haptic interactions are increasingly integrated into embodied Extended-Reality (XR) educational systems, their impacts on students' learning outcomes remain underexplored. To address this gap, a comprehensive three-level meta-analysis of 25 studies (50 effect sizes) was conducted to evaluate how haptic interactions in XR learning…

Qualitative studies that examine the impact of generative AI technologies on higher education remain scant. Whether it is the ethical dimensions of modeling human emotions within these technologies or the authentic emotional reactions to these technologies and their outputs--emotionality is at the centre of generative AI discourse. This paper…

Achieving full literacy, which is essential for efficient knowledge acquisition through reading, involves mastering basic reading skills and further developing comprehension abilities, which includes accurate and fluent decoding of text, is the first step. The second step towards FL can be attained either through extensive leisure reading, which…
