This study explored the relationships between eye tracking and traditional usability testing data in context of analyzing Algebra Nation™, an online system for learning mathematics used by hundreds thousands students. Thirty-five undergraduate students (20 females) completed seven tasks Nation™ environment. The participants were asked to log in, select instructor instructional video, post a question on collaborative wall, search explanation concept find information relating Karma Points (an...
Abstract The advances in technology to capture and process unprecedented amounts of educational data has boosted the interest Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD) applications as a way provide meaningful visual information administrators, parents, teachers learners. Despite frequent argument that LADs are useful support target users their goals monitor act upon provided, little is known about LADs’ theoretical underpinnings alignment (or lack thereof) between intended outcomes measures used...
Informed by the cognitive theory of multimedia learning, this study examined effects three design principles on undergraduate students' learning outcomes and perceived difficulty in context entomology from an educational video. These included segmenting video into smaller units, signalling to direct attention relevant information, weeding remove any non-essential content (SSW). It was hypothesized that SSW treatment would decrease facilitate transfer knowledge structural acquisition. Results...
ABSTRACT Many online videos feature an instructor on the screen to improve learners' engagement; however, influence of this design cognitive load is underexplored. This study investigates effects presence processing information using both subjective and psychophysiological measures load. Sixty university students watched a statistics instructional video either with or without presence, while spontaneous electrical activity their brain was recorded electroencephalography (EEG). At conclusion...
Abstract Fossils and the science of paleontology provide a charismatic gateway to integrate STEM teaching learning. With new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), as well exponentially increasing use three-dimensional (3-D) printing scanning technology, it is particularly opportune time wider variety fossils into K–12 curricula. We describe curricular prototype that integrates all four components (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) authentic research using dentitions Neogene giant...
In the realm of STEM education, various computer-based methodologies have been employed to invigorate student motivation, personalize learning experiences, and elevate overall quality education. However, integration Internet Things (IoT) smart tools for measuring parameters during educational research processes has garnered insufficient attention thus far. This neglect becomes all more pronounced in light burgeoning popularity personal smartwatches bands among individuals. this study, we...
As artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being adopted and used in society, it imperative that teachers feel supported to integrate AI computer science (CS) into their coursework. To help support CS instruction, we designed developed an innovative curriculum, [TITLE], for in-service accompanied with a robust professional development learning community. [TITLE] middle school students grades 6-8, the curriculum blends paleontology as young people are guided building evaluating own machine...
Abstract This study investigated the impact of collaborative and individualized student response system‐based instruction on learner motivation, metacognition, concept transfer in a large‐enrolment undergraduate science course. Participants group responded to conceptual questions, discussed their responses small groups, provided revised question (peer [PI]). A comparison (IRs) same questions. Results motivation measure revealed drop confidence for students both groups. may be explained by...
Abstract This paper addresses the need for enhancing our awareness of user‐centered design in educational technology through a more explicit and systematic alignment between needs users (learners educators) affordances provided by technology. First, we define term “affordance” discuss it from perspectives cognitive psychology user interaction design. Next, propose taxonomy functional that builds on prior research reflects current trends technologies. The is concluded with an illustration how...
