To enrich the study of learners' emotions and cognitions in the context of digital games, this paper conducts an empirical study using the self-developed board game “Connect Four Chess” as a research vehicle. We semi-automatically identify learners' emotional and cognitive behaviors within this game-based educational context and explore the relationship between the two. The study demonstrates that high-level learners maintained a high level of insightful emotion throughout the game, excelled at constructing strategic formations to control more significant chessboard areas, and preferred to reserve powerful pieces until the end to secure a winning advantage. Conversely, low-level learners exhibit a predominant level of neutral emotion, especially during unrelated behaviors, and struggle to maintain a strategic overview, focusing instead on smaller, immediate gains, which hamper the application of deeper strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":100564,"journal":{"name":"Future in Educational Research","volume":"2 3","pages":"266-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fer3.54","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142316854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The platform integrates various components, including avatar usage, multimodality, and gamification, with careful consideration of each CoI element to maximize students' immersive interactions and collaboration in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning contexts. By aligning activities with Bloom's digital taxonomy, the metaverse environment aims to improve STEM learning outcomes. A case study conducted at a university demonstrated the successful implementation of essential CoI elements, leading to increased student engagement and improved learning performance. Results indicate MeILE facilitates interactive, reflective, constructive, and self-regulated learning, which are essential for developing STEM and 21st century skills.

Despite the widespread availability of technologies like smartphones, STEM pedagogies have largely remained unchanged. Too often, students learn STEM theoretically with little hands-on experience or opportunities to engage in authentic, research-like activities. Modern smartphones can offer unprecedented opportunities for active STEM learning, but can also serve as distractors. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to acquire the pedagogical knowledge to harness these powerful tools effectively. This paper explores the potential of integrating smartphones into physics labs to enrich STEM learning. By leveraging smartphones' advanced capabilities for experimental design, data collection, and analysis, we have implemented a smartphone-enhanced pedagogical approach in secondary physics classes and province-wide Physics Olympics. We also implemented smartphone-enhanced STEM pedagogies in teacher education. Our initial pilot study has yielded promising outcomes: enhanced student engagement in physics and deeper conceptual understanding. To advance this initiative, we propose structured teacher mentorship and professional development, empowering STEM educators to seamlessly integrate smartphones into their teaching. By embracing these modern educational tools, adopting evidence-based pedagogical approaches, and supporting future and practicing educators we can make STEM learning more engaging and relevant for all students.</p>","PeriodicalId":100564,"journal":{"name":"Future in Educational Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"111-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fer3.50","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, educators in developing countries encounter distinct challenges when attempting to incorporate these innovations into their practice. This mixed-method study investigates the adoption of Physics Education Technology (PhET) computer simulations by secondary STEM teachers in Bangladesh. The study explored the challenges these educators face in learning to integrate PhET-enhanced pedagogies and to assess the potential of this technology in developing nations. The primary researcher, a native Bangladeshi science educator, facilitated 3 h long workshops for 129 teachers, enabling the team to gather unique insights. Data collection encompassed online questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The analysis uncovered struggles faced by teachers which include limited pedagogical skills and subject knowledge, constrained lesson time, insufficient school support, restricted access to technology, and poor technological expertise. Despite these difficulties, educators acknowledged the potential of PhET-enhanced pedagogies to improve student engagement. This study suggests that developing nations can leverage PhET's offline accessibility, wealth of teaching resources, and diverse language options within simulations to realize significant benefits. To address the identified challenges, we recommend translating PhET resources into native languages, developing instructional videos, employing flipped classroom methodologies, providing additional teacher training, and establishing professional learning communities. Moreover, the research underscores the potential of PhET to advance STEM education not only in Bangladesh but also in other developing countries with similar circumstances. Future studies could explore the impact of professional learning communities on facilitating the integration of technology to enhance STEM learning.</p>","PeriodicalId":100564,"journal":{"name":"Future in Educational Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"92-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fer3.51","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research underlines the importance of integrating CT in early childhood and elementary education, demonstrating that culturally, linguistically, and developmentally responsive computational activities in PreK-5 settings are key to such efforts. However, there is a gap in research regarding effective professional development models that would prepare early childhood teachers in terms of both disciplinary ideas and practices of CT, as well as attending to cultural, linguistic, and developmental differences in young children in asset-based ways. Our research contributes to this body of knowledge by examining how RPP can be a model for teacher learning in which teachers, administrators, and researchers can co-develop knowledge and confidence in integrating CT into the PreK-5 teaching curriculum and practices in CR ways. The study outlines the collaborative development of processes and frameworks co-constructed by the RPP educators, as well as teacher-developed curricular materials and lesson plans integrating CT in CR ways. Findings include teachers' experience of these lessons and teacher insights about the support needed to incorporate CT and CR practices into their existing curricula. The study concludes by highlighting the potential challenges and opportunities inherent in such endeavors, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on supporting CT integration into early childhood classrooms in CR ways.</p>","PeriodicalId":100564,"journal":{"name":"Future in Educational Research","volume":"2 4","pages":"359-381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fer3.49","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educators in these environments are working to offer CT-related experiences and activities for families of young children, often incorporating aspects of sociocultural learning such as scaffolding and dialogic practices. Because the parent/caregiver is typically present with their young child in these environments, there is an opportunity to provide them with CT information and support so that they can then actively engage in and encourage their child's CT learning, thereby extending their child's capabilities in a zone of proximal development. Previous research by Ohland et al. offers an initial framework of parental roles in CT experiences that serves as a foundation for this study's analysis of interviews with 18 libraries and museums from across the United States. The goal was to understand informal educators' goals for caregiver participation in CT activities with young children and their strategies for enabling caregivers to embody these different roles. Findings reveal that educators want caregivers to play a variety of roles with their child(ren) in these CT experiences. Furthermore, educators are implementing a variety of methods that explicitly encourage interaction, collaboration, and more. The connections between these goals and methods begin to build a model of caregiver encouragement, empowerment, and education in CT experiences in informal learning environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":100564,"journal":{"name":"Future in Educational Research","volume":"2 4","pages":"439-457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fer3.47","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143252611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The finger, then, is pointed at PT education to provide the necessary education and training that would allow for high-quality STEM education beginning at the elementary level. One novel approach to mitigate this problem is to introduce Kieran Egan's education theory on imagination (mythic understanding) and the theory of integrated curricula to PT.
