In this brief, authors Namsoo Shin, Kevin Haudek, and Joseph Krajcik explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a transformative learning partner in K-12 STEM education. They describe theoretical foundations of using AI in STEM education and the importance of fostering an integrated understanding of STEM content. The brief examines AI's…

Interest in virtual laboratory simulations as a pedagogical tool continues to grow, given the advantages of flexibility, scalability, technology integration, and interactive visualizations. We developed a laboratory model that integrates virtual lab simulations (VLS) and traditional in-person (IP) lab experiences for targeted skill development. In…

The aim of the study is to examine the leisure consciousness and technology addiction of students studying in different departments of universities on a relational basis. Causal comparison and relational survey methods, which are quantitative research methods, were used in the study. The population of the study is the students who are studying in…

Motivation has been studied in many contexts and is acknowledged as one of the most significant aspects of language instruction. To increase student motivation and engagement, instructional materials, methods, and techniques are crucial to the language learning and teaching process.

The digital world, emerging in the age of technology, presents both positive and negative aspects for every user. However, it is widely recognized that child users represent the most vulnerable group due to their ongoing cognitive and psychological development. This underscores the significance of parents acquiring digital parenting skills. This…

This paper reports changes in the extent to which a group of Year 11 students used a Computer Algebra System (CAS), pen-and-paper (P&P), or a combination of both, when solving routine problems across seven months in four different topics. Comparing the frequency of CAS use across topics shows students made greater use of CAS in the topics of…

The metaverse which is considered as the digital big bang of humanity and the next evolution of the internet is anticipated to offer a living environment for civilization 5.0 and beyond in various domains including education. Each novice technology that enters our daily lives generates also fear, anxiety, and problems as well as hope, benefit, and…

This study aims to determine whether parents' media mediation roles are related to their early childhood children's digital game addiction tendencies. In addition, it examines whether these variables are related to the child's and parent's digital device usage habits and whether they differ according to various sociodemographic variables and…

The aim of this study is to explore how structural and process aspects of secondary school students' mathematical reasoning support each other in a collaborative learning environment through the integration of "GeoGebra" software and the ACODESA method. The study involved four eighth-grade secondary school students, who participated in…

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of applying instructive simulation experiments (SE) to the development of deeper conceptual understanding, retention of static electricity contents, and engagement of 4th-grade students. The correlation between student achievements and engagement was examined. 76 4th graders (10-11 years) were…

This study proposed a novel approach to classroom debates, in which chatbots that are able to engage in argumentative dialogues are adopted to facilitate students' debate preparation. The approach comprised three stages: first, students interacted with a chatbot named Argumate to help them generate ideas; second, students discussed the ideas with…

The main purpose of the study was to validate the Use and Gratification (U&G) theory and examine the effect of U&G (entertainment, information seeking, and socializing) on the theory of planned behavior (Perceived behavioral control and attitude toward behavior) among students regarding mobile technology usage in COVID-19. Quantitative…

The COVID-19 pandemic has had immense consequences for education systems worldwide. Institutions had to quickly switch to remote teaching and learning (RTL) as an alternative delivery mode.
