This study explores the challenges and effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) through Minecraft: Education Edition (M:EE) in teaching coding and fostering creative thinking among fourth-grade students in Thailand. Conducted over eight weeks in 2023 at a laboratory school in Bangkok, the study involved 284 students. Data was gathered using…

Talladega County Schools (TCBOE) spans 760 square miles and serves about 7,000 learners, 71 percent of whom receive free and reduced-priced meals. It also is a member of the League of Innovative Schools, a network of forward-looking school districts that have declared their commitment to improving and advancing equitable outcomes for students…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a hybrid model integrating the expectation-confirmation model with the views of cognitive absorption (CA) theory and updated DeLone and McLean information system success model to examine whether quality factors as antecedents to medical professionals' beliefs can affect their continuance intention…

This work intends to disseminate a didactic experience in mathematics, in times of pandemic, in an emergency remote teaching situation, at the Portuguese School of Cape Verde, using the Desmos digital platform. The topic addressed was the study of the volume of geometric solids. The main objective was to contribute to the learning of mathematical…

This paper presents a case study conducted by two universities seeking to explore Open Education Resources (OER) in their precalculus course. Students not only gained access to their textbook for free on the first day of class, but also Lumen OHM, an online mathematics assessment platform. The majority of students involved in the study were…

Background: Formative assessments are vital for supporting learning and performance but are also considered to increase the workload of teachers. As self-assessments in higher education are increasingly facilitated via digital learning environments allowing to offer direct feedback and tracking students' digital learning behaviour these…

Teaching model preferences of university students and the factors explaining these preferences may give ideas to educators and decision-makers to design future innovative higher education systems. For this reason, this study aims to examine how some factors affect university students' teaching model preferences (face-to-face, online and hybrid) in…

A specific feature of the organization of education during wartime is the creation of a modern educational environment for the harmonious development of students in conditions of war. The substantiation of ways of developing qualities, values and competences of primary school students is important for solving a number of contradictions between the…

We design a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based pencil drawing learning system for art education on large image datasets to help students study how to draw pencil drawings for images and scenes. The system generates a pencil drawing result for a natural image based on GAN. The GAN network is trained on pencil drawing big datasets containing…

This study compared the effect of two face-to-face(F2F) and e-learning education methods on learning, retention, and interest in English language courses. Participants were EFL students studying at Islamic Azad University, for the academic year 2021-2022. A multiple-stage cluster-sampling method was used to select the target participants. Three…

Capturing evidence for dynamic changes in self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviours resulting from interventions is challenging for researchers. In the current study, we identified students who were likely to do poorly in a biology course and those who were likely to do well. Then, we randomly assigned a portion of the students predicted to perform…

The study aimed to determine if there is a significant difference between peer and lecturer assessment scores and to explore the relationship between peer assessment scores and the study year of preservice teachers. Furthermore, the study explored the effect of Blackboard Collaborate online group presentations on the development of pedagogical…

This report provides an overview of the nature of open universities derived from the responses from 28 open universities in the Commonwealth. The data not only provide a snapshot of the nature of OUs, but also show some evidence of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on open universities where institutions had to move all their learning and…

Contemporary comprehensive mathematics teaching material covering whole courses has developed substantially from the early versions that roughly were 'books as pdf' with some complementary online material. In teaching materials that are offered in online web portals (digital teaching platforms) a variety of dynamic and interactive elements can be…

This research aims to examine the impact of interactive online learning material on students' self-efficacy, prepared for achievements related to "digital rights and responsibility" in the Social Studies and Information Technologies and Software course. The study design is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest paired…
