Primary school teachers’ I-TPACK competencies after gemini-based professional development
Introduction Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) transforms instructional practice through adaptive content generation, differentiated planning, and interactive learning environments. To effectively navigate these changes, professional development programs are needed to enable teachers to meet the challenges of instruction in GenAI contexts. Few qualitative studies to date have explored how Primary School Teachers (PSTs) develop their tech…
From experience to engagement
Student engagement significantly influences academic success, motivating educators to explore innovative technologies to enhance learning environments. This mixed-methods study systematically investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, and their combined usage, compared with traditional learning environments, on high school students' cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social engagement.

This study examines the impact of using DVRs among prospective teachers at Al-Qasimi College on their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and its seven domains (TK, PK, CK, PCK, TCK, TPK, TPACK). The study was based on a mixed methodology approach, and the study sample included 70 prosp…
Task design for online learning
Introduction Teachers' task design in the context of online learning has been little researched by educational researchers. The current research examines the task design of science or mathematics teachers in the context of distance education based on the didactical situation theory and, in particular, situation types. Methods Fourteen teachers participated in the current study. They were interviewed regarding the situation types that they used to…
Saturation in Qualitative Educational Technology Research
Saturation is a key construct used by qualitative research theorists as a way to verify the rigor and validity of a study. This study intends to examine how saturation is used within qualitative educational technology studies that addressed saturation. We selected journals which (a) follow a peer review process; (b) are considered influential in their fields and of high quality, as reflected in being in Q1 (first quartile) or Q2 (second quartile)…
Scratch as an Environment for Learning the Coordinate System by Elementary School Students
The focal point of mathematics education research is to comprehend how students develop and consolidate their abstract mathematical knowledge. As goal of this research, the focus was on exploring the processes that sixth-grade students used to construct mathematical concepts linked to the coordinate system. In this study, a group of eight students was selected for research purposes. Video recordings were used to collect data through observations.…
Integrating PhET Simulations into Elementary Science Education
This research delved into the integration of PhET simulations in elementary science education, specifically aimed at Grade 3 students. The primary objective was to evaluate how the use of these digital simulations influenced students’ conceiving of scientific concepts, focusing on “States of M1atter and Phase Changes” and “Solubility and Saturation”. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study observed 19 students who worked in pairs and…

This study aims to shed light on the effect of STEAM activities based on experiential learning on ninth graders’ mental motivation and learning. The present research adopted a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative). The study sample consisted of 90 students divided into three groups. The tools utilized i…
University Students’ Engagement in Mobile Learning
The implementation of mobile learning seems to be an emerging topic in many educational institutions. As recently noticed, mobile technology has employed wireless technologies to communicate, think, learn, and share in order to spread and exchange information. Therefore, using mobile technologies in learning and teaching can create a positive environment in higher education. Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate mobile learning engageme…

The research investigated this issue using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection was carried out using individual interviews during the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The data analysis was carried out using an inductive thematic analysis. The rese…
Predictors of students’ enjoyment in learning Mathematics
Despite the role that emotions play in students’ learning, little research has been carried out to study the predictors of the individual emotion that students experience throughout and as a result of their learning. The present research attempts to do that for the enjoyment emotion, where it considers four variables related to different aspects of students’ learning (value of mathematics, self-concept of learning mathematics, teacher’s support a…
Mathematics Teachers’ Encouragement of Their Students’ Metacognitive Processes
Researchers have conducted little research into teachers’ practices to encourage their students’ metacognition. The present research attempted to address this issue quantitatively by suggesting a questionnaire that measured teachers’ encouragement of students’ planning, monitoring, regulating, and evaluating. We present the results of the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. In addition, using a one-sample t-test, the results of the res…
