Technology-Mediated Active Learning Methods

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to introduce a forthcoming Special Issue titled "Technology-Mediated Active Learning Methods" in the esteemed journal Education Sciences (ISSN 2227-7102), for which I serve as Guest Editor. In an era where digital technologies are deeply integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is crucial to explore how these advancements are transforming traditional pedagogical strategies into active, engaging, and efficient learning experiences. This Special Issue aims to delve into the synergy between active learning methodologies and technological mediation, shedding light on the profound impact of technology on education.

Our goal is to investigate and document the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities at the intersection of active learning and technology. We are particularly interested in contributions that explore how collaborative learning, educational gamification, project-based learning, story-based learning, and flipped learning can be enhanced, transformed, or newly conceptualized through the use of advanced technological tools. This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of current practices, empirical research findings, and theoretical discussions that demonstrate the potential of technology to facilitate more engaging, interactive, and effective learning environments.

We invite submissions that cover, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• The integration of technology in facilitating collaborative learning environments;
• Innovations in educational gamification and their impact on student engagement and learning outcomes;
• The best practices and challenges in implementing project-based learning through digital platforms;
• The role of technology in enhancing story-based learning experiences;
• The effectiveness of flipped learning models supported by online resources and interactive tools.

This Special Issue represents an excellent opportunity for scholars, educators, and practitioners to contribute to a significant area of research that has the potential to reshape educational paradigms. We look forward to receiving your contributions and to advancing our understanding of technology-mediated active learning methods together.

Dr. Enrique Sánchez-Rivas
Guest Editor
