The integration of digital games into teaching and learning—A unique constructivist framework
In today's era, the ability to create and utilize digital games in the classroom is of great importance, for both teachers and students. Yet traditional teaching methods often lack the implementation of games in general, and of digital games in particular. This study presents a unique constructivist framework for creating and integrating digital‐game generators in the classroom, following four consecutive year‐long courses for preservice teachers…
Artificial Intelligence Supporting Independent Student Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT demonstrate the potential to support personalized and adaptive learning experiences. This study explores how ChatGPT can facilitate self-regulated learning processes and learning computer programming. An evaluative case study design guided the investigation of ChatGPT’s capabilities to aid independent learning. Prompts mapped to self-regulated learning processes elicited ChatGPT’s support across lea…
