In parallel to web evolution from 1.0 to 4.0 with trends to 5.0, e-learning has evolved to smart learning (SmL). E-courses are pedagogically designed and implemented using web technologies to provide smart learning affordances (SLAs). By following research-based design methodology, this study investigates the effectiveness of web technologies…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has generated significant interest within the educational sector, particularly in information technology (IT) education. This study explored the current challenges, opportunities, and future directions of AI in IT education in the Philippines, a nation working to enhance its educational system…

This study investigates the perspectives of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) educators in Türkiye regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence Tools (AITs) into STEM education (STEM-e). The research was conducted to address the lack of comprehensive studies exploring educators' experiences, challenges, and the…

As university faculty must continually grow in their instructional skills and proficiencies with new tools to remain relevant to the educational needs of their students, effective models of professional learning and development are important areas of need and topics for research. However, many outdated professional development models do not create…

Technological advancements have popularized "gamification" in recent years, yet few studies have explored its connection to the technology acceptance model (TAM). This paper aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between gamification and TAM by systematically reviewing current research trends. Employing a systematic literature…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining popularity in schools for instructional purposes, but its potential and usage could be extended to school management. Just as teachers must prepare for the changes brought about by AI technology in their classrooms, school leaders need to be ready and equipped to handle these transitions. However,…

Over the last several decades, digital technology (DT) integration in teaching and learning mathematics has received considerable attention, as such integration has not led to the expected results. Teacher education is a critical factor -- even more important than access to tools and devices -- in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The…

This study delves into teacher candidates' (TCs) perspectives, particularly in secondary mathematics and science education. Through qualitative analysis of survey data and essays from 17 TCs across two institutions, including 9 STEM education major TCs (math and science TCs), and 8 non-STEM TCs, diverse attitudes towards AI integration emerge. Our…

Educational Technology (EdTech) has evolved. The technological advancements over the years provide new avenues for students to process content and expand critical thinking (Lakhana, 2014). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, integrating technology has become an essential element of every teacher's instruction. The purpose of this study is to explore the…
