The vast nature of scientific publications brings out the importance of Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) research that is highly beneficial to accelerate knowledge acquisition and the research development process. LBD is a knowledge discovery workflow that automatically detects significant, implicit knowledge associations hidden in fragmented knowledge areas by analysing existing scientific literature. Therefore, the LBD output not only assists in formulating scientifically sensible, novel...

There is a need for several applications and technologies in the higher education institutions in Oman to enhance the educational process. This systematical study investigates the simultaneous influence of technology implementation with e-learning and traditional coursework program instruction on the enhancement and development of assessment method for undergraduates in different programs. This paper aims to analyze the current articles that handle with the learning process and compare...

This paper presents a systematic literature review of research focused on use of Semantic Web technologies in formal educational contexts. Through systematic search, the review has identified 199 research articles, which are examined with the intention of identifying prevalent themes within the body of research within the field of formal educational use of Semantic Web technologies. The themes identified by the review are: (1) Semantic Web ontologies; (2) Efficient distribution,...

Education at every level is typically future-oriented; it is imperative for the learners to keep pace with the unpredictable and fast changing world. The field of teacher-education is no exception. Student-centered approaches have started gaining popularity in today's day and age. Self-directed learning is becoming one of the most prominent phenomena for the 21st century learners. This study investigated whether any relationship exists between Self-Directed Learning readiness (SDLR) and...

The government of Ecuador has promoted inclusive education in public and private education centers, ensuring that all children can access education and not be discriminated by their disability. Teachers are responsible for planning, support and reorganized the curriculum according to the needs of each child included. The inclusion process for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and speech difficulties have been a little difficult because they cannot communicate properly with the teachers and...

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has emerged as a valid, reliable and economic measure to assess and monitor reading skills. Unfortunately, CBMs have not been developed for the Indian context. Further, CBMs can be cumbersome to administer manually, especially given the high teacher- student ratio in India. The challenge also then remains about what teachers actually do with the reading data. Most teachers in India are unable to interpret reading scores or use them to tailor an intervention...

Randomized control trials (RCTs) are commonly regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for evaluating educational interventions. While this experimental design is valuable in establishing causal relationships between the tested intervention and outcomes, reliance on statistical aggregation typically underplays the situated context in which interventions are implemented. Developing innovative, systematic methods for evaluating implementation and understanding its impact on outcomes is vital to moving...

The well-known Syrian crisis has made it very challenging for thousands of Syrian children to have access to education. In this article, the authors propose a framework for designing a digital education platform to allow children inside Syria as well as in the refugee camps in bordering countries to have access to education. The authors start by looking at the efforts performed in the field of education in conflict-affected regions, and they extract from them the lessons learned and...

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is a field in educational psychology that as attracted tremendous research studies from various communities including ICTs. Recent studies and meta-analysis have greatly contributed to the domain knowledge that the use SRL strategies boost academic performance for learners. Despite these developments in SRL, our understanding on the tools and instruments to measure SRL in online learning environments is limited as the use of traditional tools developed for...

The Rapid Assessment of Cognitive and Emotional Regulation (RACER) is a tablet-based assessment tool for children that measures executive function (EF) skills. Instructions that are brief and visually presented; game-like tasks are designed to easily engage children regardless of literacy level and variable test administration settings. RACER measures inhibitory control and working memory. This study presents the theoretical rationale and empirical evidence for tablet-based assessments of...
