Background: This new primitive, utilizing a convolutional neural network (CNN), enables real-time recognition of handwritten digits captured by the NAO robot, a humanoid robot assistant developed by SoftBank Robotics. It is equipped with advanced capabilities, including a wide range of sensors, cameras, and interactive features. By integrating the proposed primitive, the NAO robot gains the ability to accurately recognize handwritten digits, contributing to improved student visual learning experiences. Methodology: Our developed primitive consists of the use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) so that the robot is able to recognize the handwriting of the digits present in the input image received in real-time. The NAO robot establishes interaction with the learners through a scenario based on a predefined assignment. In this scenario, NAO captures the digit handwritten by the learner via its camera, recognizes the digit using the deep learning model generated by the MNIST dataset, and announces to the learner the handwritten digit in the input image. The prototype is realized using the concept of a distributed system allowing the distribution of tasks in four different computing nodes. Contribution: Our research makes a significant contribution by equipping the humanoid robot NAO with a cognitive intelligence system through the integration of a new knowledge primitive based on handwriting digit recognition (HWDR). Our approach used to create and implement this primitive in the NAO robot is interesting and innovative, and presents a promising provision for enhancing the visual learning experience of children and young students with special needs, based on the use of distributed systems that divide the work using various components distributed over several nodes, coordinating their efforts to perform tasks more efficiently than a single device besides the NAO robot. Findings: We designed our model using specific parameters and a fully convolutional neural network architecture, which includes three residual depthwise separable convolutions, each followed by batch normalization and ReLU activation. To evaluate the performance of our model, we tested it on the MNIST dataset, where we achieved a remarkable accuracy, F1 score, and recall of 99%. An experiment was conducted to test our implemented primitive and see the effectiveness of this invention for enhancing visual learning in children with special needs. We developed a visual learning strategy based on the creation of engaging activities mediated by the NAO robot in an educational context. The results showed that participants achieved a strong commitment to the NAO robot, appreciating its ability to recognize handwritten digits and highlighting its promisin","PeriodicalId":43632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Technology Education-Innovations in Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136368187","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}

Background: Flipped classroom is helpful to address limited class time, implement different pedagogies, and help students better attain their learning outcomes and improve their academic achievement. Motivating and encouraging students to perform or complete flipped learning activities is a challenging issue affecting the success of the flipped classroom. This research posits that gamification presents a promising solution, and adding gamification to the flipped classroom is important for its success. However, little is known about the effects of integrating gamification into flipped learning without sufficient results to generalize. Pedagogical designs with appropriate theoretical foundations should be added to the literature on flipped learning and gamification. This research proposes a learning model that combines gamification within flipped classroom via quizzes online platform with the main flow theory requirements. The purpose of this combination is to motivate and engage learners in flipped classroom activities. Methodology: The data were collected from 101 undergraduate students in a database management course at Al al-Bayt University in Jordan. The students were assigned to four different instructional methods according to their preferences (traditional non-gamified, non-gamified flipped, traditional gamified, and gamified flipped classroom). A study with a quasi-experimental factorial design was carried out using midterm and final exam instruments to assess the students’ overall achievement. Two-way factorial ANOVA was employed to examine the main effect of the instructional method, student gender, and the interaction effect on students’ overall achievement. Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test was carried out to compare and determine which instructional method had the main effect and achieved the best grades among test groups. Contribution: The current study proposed a gamified flipped learning model guided by the theoretical foundations of flow theory. This study offers a novel contribution to the literature by illustrating the importance of employing gamification in the flipped classroom and how the gamified flipped instructional method affects student achievement, especially when appropriate gamification design and careful game element selection. The effects reported by this study provide empirical evidence and valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and educators about the issues of gamified flipped classroom and guide instructional designers to apply appropriate game elements. Findings: The findings showed that the gamified flipped group outperformed the other three groups and significantly improved students’ overall achievement with a large effect ","PeriodicalId":43632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Technology Education-Innovations in Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134882669","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 particular, we sought to understand the contribution that digital games made to teacher educators and how they used digital games in their remotely delivered courses. Background: Teacher educators experienced in using digital games in their teaching were interviewed regarding the contribution digital games made to their pedagogy when they were teaching remotely during COVID-19. Methodology: This qualitative study included 34 participants who taught four-year-degree programs in 13 teacher education colleges in Israel. Contribution: This study sheds light on a sparsely researched area by examining the contribution of digital games to teacher educators' pedagogy. The study also suggests practical implications for implementing digital games for teacher educators. Findings: Many participants used digital games. Some used them extensively as an integral component of the curriculum while others used them to break up the lesson and thereby retain their students’ interest and attention. However, a small number reduced their use of digital games citing work overload. Recommendations for Practitioners: This study suggests that education systems may be able to obtain post-pandemic-related gains to further advance the use of digital games as a pedagogic strategy in teacher education in the future. Recommendation for Researchers: An additional study using a more representative sample of teacher educators would be very valuable to gauge the roll-on effects of the sudden shift to remote online learning on the use of digital games following the return to face-to-face teaching and learning. Impact on Society: The findings have implications for how the use of digital games should be addressed in teacher education at teacher colleges. Future Research: Future research can address possible contributions or challenges that teacher educators face when using digital games, for example, in a hybrid learning environment to enhance engagement and promote active learning.","PeriodicalId":43632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Technology Education-Innovations in Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202982","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}
