Schools and families were challenged to adapt to online-based modes of instruction with minimal preparation. This study examined the importance of the learning environment and commitment to assignments as predictors of the academic performance of junior high students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We obtained data from 328 seventh through ninth grade students enrolled in an urban school district in the Delta region of Arkansas. Students used the same online learning platform, Lincoln Learning Solutions, receiving instruction in virtual, mixed, or on-site learning environments. We examined the total time spent in each course, overall assignment completion, and average grades for science, mathematics, and ELA. Our results show that when we considered only the learning environment, students in the on-site environment consistently outperformed their peers in the virtual learning environment across all subjects and grade levels, except for mathematics at the eighth-grade level. However, when we also considered students’ online assignment behaviors (time spent working on assignments, and number of assignments completed), there was a significant improvement in the prediction of academic performance for mathematics in the seventh and ninth grade, for science at the eighth-grade level, and for ELA at the ninth-grade level.","PeriodicalId":44518,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Education in Mathematics Science and Technology","volume":"408 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79274635","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 addition to an online pre-pandemic survey targeted at Finnish language and literacy teachers, four in-service teachers were interviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2020. With means of qualitative content analysis an account of teachers’ individual experiences and views of technology-equipped language and literacy learning was generated. Problematic issues were the use of devices for educational purposes, lacking user experience, inadequate provision of suitable devices, IT courses, and insufficient support for learners and teachers, causing inequality. Teachers reported of various ways to ensure and enable device access and learning opportunities, resulting particularly during pandemic times in high workloads. The emergency remote teaching circumstances during this global health crisis posed an enormous additional challenge for teachers and students. Findings raise questions about the pedagogical cost of the pandemic for adult migrant literacy education in Finland and call for discussions on post-pandemic changes on a national and international level.","PeriodicalId":44518,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Education in Mathematics Science and Technology","volume":"394 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74308486","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}

Educational institutions are trying to establish artificial intelligence-based systems to improve the existing education systems. On the other hand, education researchers want to determine which artificial intelligence models are the most effective. To provide an in-depth resource for both researchers and educators on the use of artificial intelligence in education, this study aims to make a bibliometric analysis of articles related to artificial intelligence in education. After the query was made in the Web of Science database, 1153 articles related to the subject were obtained. As a result of the bibliometric analysis of the articles obtained, the most influential journals are Education and Information Technologies and Computers Education, and the most influential authors are Scouller, Biggs, and Hwang. After 2019, it has been observed that there has been a significant increase in the number of studies, the first examples of which were found in 1985. It is thought that this study, which provides results on the most cited publications, trending topics, thematic map of keywords, and co-occurrence network, will serve as a bedside resource for both educators and researchers.

A total of 76 second grade science students participated in the study either through Flipgrid, video reflection, or written reflection. Results show that there were far fewer instances of empathy as opposed to ideate in both written and video responses. Additionally, there were far fewer instances of both present in the written responses compared to the video responses. Given that providing opportunities for students to engage in the inquiry-based learning of science with empathy may increase their capacity to learn science (Garner et al., 2017), learning how to effectively teach empathy could be beneficial in the teaching and learning of science.","PeriodicalId":44518,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Education in Mathematics Science and Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87593669","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 a bid to address it, many systems and institutions of higher learning have elected to implement a co-remediation framework in place of pre-remediation, due in large part to the prohibitive cost of the latter, both in terms of financial resource, as well as student academic progress. Accompanying this evolution has been the expansion of the introductory mathematics curriculum beyond algebra to include statistics and quantitative reasoning. The present study discusses three distinct introductory mathematics courses at a large urban public M.S. granting institution in the U.S., with the goal of identifying the characteristics that correlate with success in each. Conditional probability and non-completion rate analyses were implemented to compare student performance in each course. Predictive models were then trained and validated, building insight concerning the differential relationships of demographic and academic covariates with course completion.","PeriodicalId":44518,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Education in Mathematics Science and Technology","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76010712","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}
