Technology-based teaching approaches such as flipped classroom and blended learning are becoming increasingly common as educational technology takes root. Lecture capture is one of these approaches; and using lecture capture, lecturers either share their lessons online or make necessary changes before they are made available for review by students. However, while this application has become widespread in teaching syllabi, it has prompted further discussion concerning the pedagogical impact of lecture capture on lecturers and students, including lecturers altering conventional teaching methods during recording, the intellectual property rights of materials used during lecture capture, student absenteeism, and the impact of lecture capture on students' success rate. This study investigated the perceptions of professors within a College of Education about their experiences and opinions regarding advantages and disadvantages in the lecture capture approach as well as their suggestions with a special focus on the pedagogical use of this approach. A qualitative research design based on the principles of the constructivist paradigm was used to explore professors' perceptions of lecture capture. The findings indicated four themes: attendance and participation, professional development, academic freedom, ethical/legal issues and institutional policy. The professors, in general, found the use of LC positive and useful. However, the findings suggest that the professors have concerns about academic freedom, student participation in lessons, ethical and legal issues, and institutional policy.

Today, the number of researches about STEM education, which is brought to the forefront by innovative interdisciplinary approaches, has been increasing over the years and each research is carried out in different areas, regions for different purposes. When these studies are examined, it is thought that the studies can be gathered under certain headings and themes and a broad perspective about the studies can be presented. We reached 186 works in the framework of STEM and other innovative approaches worldwide, except for Turkey. 48 of these studies from 21 different countries, written in 4 different languages, were selected between 2009-2019. These studies were evaluated in 9 different themes and 24 sub-concepts. These studies include all partners (students, teachers, parents and others) of the education system. The impact of innovative interdisciplinary practices on students' academic achievement, scientific process skills and career awareness is positive. Gender is an important factor in perception and attitudes. In-school and out-of-school activities are effective in acquiring 21st century skills. Education partner's attitude towards innovative interdisciplinary approaches is positive. In some studies, limitations such as physical space, time and cost disrupted the realization of activities and sometimes it was a negative situation that the teachers did not have the necessary training formation and felt inadequate for these activities. Existing curricula, which are shaped within the framework of knowledge-based examination system, were also seen as another limiting factor. At the end of the research, suggestions were made to all partners of the education system for the research and applications to be carried out in innovative interdisciplinary fields.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in developing new teaching-learning solutions is gaining momentum towards transforming the education system in India. Schools are beginning to shift from conventional methods of teaching to smart education to enhance students' learning experiences. Reviewing the literature on machine learning, personalized learning, and Bloom's taxonomy, we set out to examine the following: How are the educational technology firms in India using AI to change the ways teachers teach and students learn? What are the untapped AI-technologies that have the potential to transform the Indian education system? We conducted in-depth interviews with four subject matter experts working on AI-related technologies and four senior managers from leading Indian educational technology firms that have developed AI-based applications for schools. Deploying grounded theory, we found that personalized learning, recommendation systems, and adaptive assessments are helping students and supporting teachers. In an emerging country context, we demonstrate the educational technology firms' view of AI and the experts' view of AI. The gaps between these views indicate the immense potential of AI which can be tapped by educational technology firms in their future applications. The study has practical implications for the transformation of the education system in emerging countries.

The aim of this research is to determine whether the Turkish version of Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) has measurement invariance according to gender and longitudinal invariance for Turkish university students. First study's data were collected from 500 university students (366 female, 134 male) whereas 388 students (296 female, 92 male) participated in Study 2 for three times over four-month intervals. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for measurement invariance. According to the results of the Study 1 which was invariance study according to gender, all items on the SWLS provide configural, metric and scalar invariance. In this context, the differences in points obtained on the SWLS by university students according to gender can be used to perform comparison studies. Also, Study 2 revealed that strict longitudinal invariance was found to hold. This means that equality of factor patterns, factor loadings, intercepts and residual variance were determined for university students at four-month time intervals. The SWLS can be used to make longitudinal mean and gender comparisons for Turkish university students.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) entered the general lexicon in the United States within the last ten years. Both Presidents Obama and Trump emphasized STEM education as a priority for the United States because the number of college graduates with STEM degrees is perceived as an important factor contributing to the global competitiveness of the United States. STEM refers to four disciplines but the acronym is generally interpreted to mean science or math rather than technology or engineering because only science and mathematics are included oftentimes in the school curriculum. In this paper, we describe our attempts to teach integrated STEM units to grades 3-8 students based on five different articles. The first two articles describe how we engaged grades 3-5 elementary students, in two different engineering design challenges (soda can crusher design and trash grabber design) by using our engineering design model. The third article summarizes how we taught epistemological aspects of engineering using picture books within an engineering design challenge. The fourth article illustrates how students in groups of two or three created biomimetic robots with coding. The fifth article details how students built an animatronic zoo showcasing a particular biome and animals living in it by using computational thinking.

During the period of school closures in Iran, the authors were interested in the different types of platforms being used during quarantine associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the instructors and educators' point of view while using them in formal education. Student and teacher surveys assisted the authors to gain information about the work carried out during the school closures. The surveys were administered online and were designed to obtain information on the educational gateways, television channels, social media, and MOOCs, which were used during the school closures in Iran. Ninety-two K-12 instructors and five hundred and ninety-three K-12 students participated in the surveys. The results showed that the method most used was social media. The correlation between age and continuing teaching, gender, and continuing teaching during school closures by distance education methods, and age and using technologies, in the instructor surveys were evaluated to show any meaningful relationship. Students' surveys revealed that older students (in upper grades) use social media more for meeting educational purposes. Due to reasons such as culture and accessibility of technology, participants reported using social media for educational purposes making it more popular than other platforms. Further, the results indicate cause for concern in that every student cannot benefit from all types of Distance Learning.
