Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligence and learning have long been central to educational research, yet the rapid integration of technology into learning environments is reshaping how we understand, measure, and cultivate them. Digital tools, adaptive platforms, artificial intelligence, and learning analytics offer new ways to study cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, while raising fresh theoretical and methodological questions.
While a growing body of work addresses these themes separately—focusing on assessment, on cognitive processes, or on educational technology in isolation—fewer efforts bring them together. This Special Issue aims to bridge these strands, inviting research that connects intelligence, learning, and technology within authentic educational contexts, from primary and secondary schooling to higher education and lifelong learning.
We welcome empirical studies, systematic reviews, and theoretical or methodological contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technology-enhanced learning and its effects on cognitive and non-cognitive development;
- Intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning environments;
- Learning analytics and educational data mining to understand learning processes;
- Assessment of cognitive and emotional abilities in digital and online contexts;
- Artificial intelligence applications in teaching, learning, and assessment;
- Individual differences in technology-supported and personalized learning;
- Technology acceptance and integration in educational settings;
- Digital tools for developing higher-order thinking and self-regulated learning;
- Interdisciplinary perspectives connecting psychology, education, and the learning sciences.
By highlighting emerging directions and integrative approaches, this Special Issue seeks to advance both theory and educational practice, offering new insights into how intelligence and learning can be understood and fostered in an increasingly technology-rich world.
