A comparative study of expert, AI, and no external feedback on mathematics teacher learning outcomes in reflective practice

Article
Feedback is crucial for teacher professional development, yet most studies focus on a single source (e.g., experts or peers). Longitudinal comparisons across sources and analyses of underlying mechanisms are rare. This study therefore investigates how different feedback sources influence teacher lea…

Effects of online whiteboard-based collaborative argumentation scaffolds on group-level cognitive regulations, written argument skills and regulation patterns

Article
Argumentation involves collaboration and regulation of learning. In recent years, regulation of learning, which involves self-, co-, and socially shared regulations, has attracted much attention across a range of domains. To date, studies on these forms of regulation, especially on cognitive regulat…

Article Open Access
Teachers' digital competence (TDC) is an important condition for the effective integration of technologies in education, and it depends on personal and context-related factors. Different frameworks and instruments have been developed to measure TDC. However, research on digital competence in vocatio…

Teamwork competency and satisfaction in online group project-based engineering course: The cross-level moderating effect of collective efficacy and flipped instruction

Article
This study examined the relationship between students’ teamwork competency and satisfaction in a synchronous online flipped group project-based course, focusing on the possibility of group collective efficacy and flipped learning to moderate this relationship. We collected data from 19 teams (N = 75…

Effectiveness of a three-dimensional-printing curriculum: Developing and evaluating an elementary school design-oriented model course

Article
In this study, a three-dimensional-printing design-oriented model course was developed for elementary school students, and its learning efficacy was investigated. The study was primarily conducted using action research and supplemented with data obtained through participant observation and content a…

The effect of using Kahoot! for learning – A literature review

Article Open Access
Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform used to review students' knowledge, for formative assessment or as a break from traditional classroom activities. It is among the most popular game-based learning platforms, with 70 million monthly active unique users and used by 50% of US K-12 students. Sin…

Effects of eye movement modeling examples on adaptive expertise in medical image diagnosis

Article
Research indicates that expert performance is domain specific and hardly transfers to novel tasks or domains. However, due to technological changes in dynamic work settings, experts sometimes need to adapt and transfer their skills to new task affordances. The present mixed method study investigates…

Student evaluation of a virtual experience for project management learning: An empirical study for learning improvement

Article
Project management education was designed traditionally according to an expository paradigm. However, it needs to be redefined to engage students in higher order thinking and to facilitate effective learning. This study proposes a student-centered approach that is aligned with situated learning theo…

A path model for technology integration into elementary school settings in Turkey

Article Open Access
A three phase Sequential Mixed Method Design was utilized to propose and test a research-based model explaining the relationships between technology integration in Elementary Schools and a defined set of teacher and school-related factors. In the first phase, interviews were conducted with 20 elemen…

Enablers and barriers to the use of ICT in primary schools in Turkey: A comparative study of 2005-2011

Article
The purpose of this study was to reveal barriers encountered by Turkish primary school teachers in the integration of ICT, to propose potential enablers to overcome those barriers, and to compare the current status of ICT integration (in 2011) with the status of ICT integration in 2005. Part of the …

Transfer of expertise: An eye tracking and think aloud study using dynamic medical visualizations

Article
Expertise research has produced mixed results regarding the problem of transfer of expertise. Is expert performance context-bound or can the underlying processes be applied to more general situations? The present study tests whether expert performance and its underlying processes transfer to novel t…

A comparative analysis of the consistency and difference among teacher-assessment, student self-assessment and peer-assessment in a Web-based portfolio assessment environment for high school students

Article
This study explored the consistency and difference of teacher-, student self- and peer-assessment in the context of Web-based portfolio assessment. Participants were 72 senior high school students enrolled in a computer application course. Through the assessment system, the students performed portfo…

Using blogs to support learning during internship

Article
Blogging has been recommended as a suitable tool for learning during internship due to its associated usefulness in collaborative learning, reflection, communication, and social support. In this study, blogging was incorporated into the internship activities of two discipline-specific groups of inte…

Research in online learning environments: Priorities and methodologies

Article
Due to increasing demand for education and training in the information age, online learning and teaching is becoming a necessity in our future. However, lack of research goals to understand impact of online learning environments on students is a problem in research on online learning environments. W…

Article
The aim of this paper is to present the design, implementation and evaluation of the methodology which focuses on the pedagogical utilization of Interactive Videoconferencing (IVC) in the contemporary elementary school. As part of the project "ODYSSEAS", during the school year 2007-2008, 46 students…

A knowledge engineering approach to developing mindtools for context-aware ubiquitous learning

Article
Recent developments in computing and mobile technologies have enabled the mobile and ubiquitous learning approach, which situates students in an environment that combines real-world and digital-world learning resources. Although such an approach seems to be innovative and interesting, several proble…

Design, implementation and validation of a Europe-wide pedagogical framework for e-Learning

Article Open Access
Within the context of a Europe-wide project UNITE, a number of European partners set out to design, implement and validate a pedagogical framework (PF) for e- and m-Learning in secondary schools. The process of formulating and testing the PF was an evolutionary one that reflected the experiences and…

A descriptive model of information problem solving while using internet

Article Open Access
This paper presents the IPS-I-model: a model that describes the process of information problem solving (IPS) in which the Internet (I) is used to search information. The IPS-I-model is based on three studies, in which students in secondary and (post) higher education were asked to solve information …

A context-aware ubiquitous learning environment for conducting complex science experiments

Article
Context-aware ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is an innovative approach that integrates wireless, mobile, and context-awareness technologies to detect the situation of learners in the real world and provide adaptive support or guidance accordingly. In this paper, a context-aware u-learning environm…

The evolution of pedagogic models for work-based learning within a virtual university

Conference paper
The process of designing a pedagogic model for work-based learning within a virtual university is not a simple matter of using 'off the shelf' good practice. Instead, it can be characterised as an evolutionary process that reflects the backgrounds, skills and experiences of the project partners. Wit…
