Teachers’ strategies for addressing cyberbullying
Cyberbullying threatens student well-being and school safety, yet limited research has explored how teachers actively respond to it. This study investigated the beliefs and active strategies of 440 teachers to combat cyberbullying. It focused on how internal factors, including self-efficacy and professional responsibility, and external conditions, including school policies and institutional support, influenced prevention and intervention efforts.…
Empowering social perspective-taking and collaboration through digital avatars
This study examined the effectiveness of avatars in digital role-playing scenarios to enhance students’ social perspective-taking and collaborative learning. Limited empirical research compared avatar-based digital and face-to-face role-playing on social perspective-taking and collaborative learning, leaving uncertainty about whether digital role-play can be comparable to traditional methods for supporting meaningful social interaction and collab…
Technological professional development variables related to Teachers' Personal Information Management skills
This study examines the relationships and patterns among different Teacher Personal Information Management (TPIM) variables, focusing particularly on the impact of technological training and knowledge on TPIM practices. Data were gathered from 612 teachers. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to examine differences among the factors, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to assess the hypothesized relationsh…

The divide between attitudes and practical implementation of the ‘Preschool of the Future’ model through the lens of Israeli preschool teachers
This article explores educators' attitudes towards the 'Preschool of the Future' reform in Israel and its implementation. Focusing on preschool teachers, it investigated their perspectives and adoption of the reform, revealing a gap between attitudes and practices. Quantitative data from 208 teachers underscored the emphasis on social-emotional learning, while cognitive skills were considered less vital. The study highlights teachers' desire to i…
Professional and psychological precursors of instructional approaches used in distance learning during Covid-19
Who benefits from digital badges? Motivational precursors of digital badge usages in higher education
The role of goal orientations and learning approaches in explaining digital concept mapping utilization in problem-based learning
Assessing the benefits of gamification in mathematics for student gameful experience and gaming motivation
This study addresses the question of how to use game design elements to raise students' motivation to engage in mathematics learning activities. Four conditions of mathematics learning activities were designed and assessed: 1. a problem-based digital gamification activity (research group 1); 2. a non-problem-based digital gamification activity (research group 2); 3. face-to-face game-based learning with a problem-based activity (control group 1),…
Future problem-solving technique for promoting reconciliation between Palestinian and Jewish citizens in Israel
Competency-based learning and formative assessment feedback as precursors of college students' soft skills acquisition
In recent years, researchers have highlighted the importance of students’ set of soft skills. However, although deemed important, the integration of those skills into educational systems’ policy remains ancillary in higher education. This is mainly due to the scant use of competency-based learning activities and the widely used instructional practices of back-to-basics across many higher education systems. This study set out to examine how underg…
Problematic Social Media Use and Intensive Social Media Use Among Academic Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The need for interaction that arose given the social distancing imposed on people by governments during the COVID-19 has increased the use of social media (SM). The current study distinguishes between two different patterns of SM use: problematic and intensive, and examines the impact of each specific type of SM on social and mental aspects (i.e., social support, loneliness, and life satisfaction). The sample included 363 higher education student…
Online argumentation-based learning aided by digital concept mapping during Covid-19
Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, forcing them to abruptly shift from face-to-face to online teaching and learning. This case study illustrates how a traditional lecture-based activity for undergraduate students in a Management of Health Service Organizations program was transformed into an argumentation-based learning activity using the technique of digital concept mapping and was deployed in an online for…
Problem-based learning, self- and peer assessment in higher education
This study sought to delineate the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and peer- and self- assessment in a teacher training programme. This intervention was accompanied by measuring the participants’ perceptions of the PBL environment and the assessment methods used compared with those of other courses they were previously enrolled in. Another aim was to reveal the most effective perceived PBL constructivist activities in enhancing the…
The Challenges of Academic Incivility
Enhancing perceived digital literacy skills and creative self-concept through gamified learning environments
Science teachers' conceptions of teaching and learning, ICT efficacy, ICT professional development and ICT practices enacted in their classrooms
Parent-Adolescent Communication and Problematic Internet Use
With the growing attention paid to the role of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) as a mediator, linking deficits in psychological needs to Problematic Internet Use (PIU), this study explored the role of FoMO in partially explaining the connection between parent-child communication and the child's PIU. Data were gathered from 270 participants of whom 45.6% 13- to 15-year-old youth (middle school students), and 54.5% 15.5- to 18-year-old adolescents (high…
