Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present a bibliometric and bibliographic review regarding technological literacy studies. A bibliometric analysis was used to conduct this study in which 83 selected documents from the Scopus database published between 1991 and 2022 were the data. Some analyses, such as performance, citation, co-word, and co-authorship, were carried out to analyze the data supported by VOSviewer and PoP software. Results of this study revealed that the number of studies regarding technological literacy increased gradually, while the progress citations on the studies of technological literacy were not consistent every year. In addition, the most productive and influential documents, authors, countries, institutions, and sources contributed to developing technological literacy research. Furthermore, autonomous technology is expected to be the newly trending research in the technology field. Consequently, the studies about autonomous technology can be directed to further educational studies focusing on technology education. The development of autonomous technology in the future, like a robot for teaching, contributes to educational advancement.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67495266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital credentials play an important role in students’ lives as a lifelong learning passport. The educational field is experiencing numerous issues such as academic record forgery, record misuse, credential data tampering, time-consuming verification procedures, and issues related to ownership and control. Modern-day technology, Blockchain, is an appropriate alternative to resolve these issues and increase trust among entities. In this research, we intend to propose a Blockchain-based educational digital credential issuance, and verification model that addresses these issues in the education system using Ethereum Blockchain and smart contracts. The method we propose offers a way to demonstrate the correctness of specific credential attributes without revealing other attributes, thereby leading to ownership, minimal disclosure, and control. We offer an interface for storing massively encrypted academic records in a decentralized file system like Interplanetary File System (IPFS). Furthermore, Ethereum provides tamper-resistant chains to maintain the integrity of digital credentials. Finally, in comparison with the time it requires to issue credentials, our model safely accelerates the verification process by about 8%.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67495456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally student dropout is a serious issue. Risk of dropouts can be identified at an earlier stage using machine learning classifiers, as they have gained more popularity in both academia and industry. The research team suggests that early prediction facilitates educators and higher education administrators to take necessary measures to prevent dropouts. Data for the research were collected from 530 Indian students when they were engaged in online learning during pandemic crisis. This research work involves two phases. In first phase, hybrid ensemble strategy is focused that integrates two powerful machine learning algorithms namely Random Forest (RF) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for early at-risk prediction. The result is a fast procedure for classification of at-risk students which is competitive in accuracy and highly robust. Prediction models are developed using ensemble learning, furthermore ensemble models are combined into a single meta-model, which provides best outcomes to enable higher education institutions for predictive analysis. Moreover, it correctly classified students’ at-risk regarding accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score with values of 93%, 91.52%, 96.42% and 93.91% respectively. In second phase, prediction model is deployed by creating a web application using. Net framework to sense students’ sentiments using Azure cognitive services text analytics (Application Programming Interface) API for detecting cognitive behavioral outcomes in online learning environment.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67495476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first portion classifies these challenges, as outlined in the current literature, into seven main themes: “Lack of TEFL-Specific Content,” “Difficulty to Integrate Learning and Evaluation,” “Supporting Various Learning Approaches,” “Uncertainty Over Learning Outcomes,” “Costs and Development Difficulty,” “VR Sickness and Other Physical Issues,” and “Space and Setup.” In addition to this classification, it considers curriculum-related challenges that are underrepresented in current VR research, such as supporting translanguaging and content and language integrated learning (CLIL). Secondly, a novel design method, Dual-Frame System Design, is introduced, which separates VR-based experiences and TEFL learning content into separate “frames” that can be swapped in and out for different learning needs. Finally, three VR systems created with dual-frame system design are evaluated in terms of their structures, functions, and user experiences for how well they address these challenges. Lessons learned from this evaluation may be useful for the future design of VR systems.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67495529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emergence of flipped classroom teaching model has greatly changed the conventional teaching mode. This paper uses the methods of literature, questionnaire, teaching experiment, interview, classroom observation and mathematical statistics to study the effect of flipping classroom teaching mode in PE and Health Teaching in rural primary schools. The research shows that the flipped classroom teaching mode in PE and Health Teaching in rural primary schools is helpful for students to master movement technology and improve students’ attitude and interest in PE learning. In contrast, the emotional performance and cooperative spirit of the experimental class students who adopt the flipped classroom teaching mode are improved more significantly. Compared with the conventional classroom teaching method, the flipped classroom teaching mode has no obvious difference in the influence of students’ physical fitness test results. The research suggests that we should strengthen the skill training of PE teachers and constantly improve their teaching ability, constantly enrich teaching methods under the flipped classroom teaching mode. When implementing the flipped classroom teaching mode, we should design a more reasonable teaching scheme in combination with the characteristics of students in rural schools, encourage scholars to actively study the research of flipped classroom teaching mode, and promote the reform and development of PE and Health Teaching in rural primary schools.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In turn, the behavioral intention of distance learners’ willingness to use it determines whether virtual labs can be well used and promoted. For the sake of deeply understanding the factors which may exert certain influence on behavioral intention, this paper constructed a model of factors affecting behavioral intention of distance learning in virtual lab environment on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), and conducted an empirical investigation study on 425 learners. As conspicuously revealed by the research findings, effort expectation, performance expectation, community influence, concrete experience, abstract conceptualization, active practice, and interactivity of the experimental platform can impose positive effects on learners’ intention to use the virtual experimental platform. Aside from that, both reflective observation and imagination cannot remarkably affect behavioral intention. What’s more, concrete experience has the most noticeable effect on behavioral intention.","PeriodicalId":36846,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information and Education Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136259193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
