K-12 educators must effectively integrate technology and teach across face-to-face, blended, and online learning environments. However, many teacher preparation programs are ill-equipped to support the development of deep educational technology skills in preservice teachers. Therefore, new methods for preparing preservice teachers for their future…

This chapter explores the potential of integrating conversational AI tools such as ChatGPT with data visualization (DV) tools such as Power BI in higher education settings. A brief history of chatbots is summarized and challenges and opportunities in higher education are outlined. The highlights include AI's prospects for enhancing data-informed…

This paper explores co-design in Japanese education for deploying data-driven educational technology and practice. Although there is a growing emphasis on data to inform educational decision-making and personalize learning experiences, challenges such as data interoperability and inconsistency with teaching goals prevent practitioners from…

The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings is transforming the role of school leaders, reshaping how decisions are made, and introducing both opportunities and challenges. This paper presents the findings of a scoping review that synthesises the current literature on AI's impact on educational leadership.…

Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…

This study explores the development and implementation of a five-day curriculum designed to enhance students' understanding of algebraic concepts through the integration of educational robotics and growth mindset principles. The study is structured around three research questions that investigate influences on decision-making in curriculum design,…

Teachers' decisions for instructional design and technology integration influence their teaching practices and student learning performances. Technology-integrated learning environments have been widely leveraged due to the recent global health crisis and student learning needs (Polly et al., "TechTrends," 65(3), 240-242 2021). Teachers…

With increasing policy interest in improving educational outcomes, technology integration has become a requirement in Ghana's education system, albeit with minimal impact on student learning. Several studies focus on identifying barriers to effective integration but pay scant consideration to the deeper reasons why teachers use technology. This…

Limited studies exist on faculty members or lecturers' perception and behavioural acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) (e.g. ChatGPT) for their students' benefit. Teachers are the decision-makers for students' teaching and classroom activities. In this regard, the study examined lecturers' use of AI-powered tools and the factors that…

This exploratory, qualitative inquiry provides insight into the IT management practices within K-12 organizations using the concepts outlined within Rogers Everett's diffusion of innovation theory description of the innovation-decision process communication channel: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. In realizing…

When life (society) changes rapidly and drastically, school (education) must change accordingly. However, not all changes are good and beneficial for society, so schools must also think critically and work with a time lag that allows for critical reflection and the search for more rational and optimal solutions. Teachers remain essential in the…

Adopting technology by its intended users is one of the most important contributors to that technology's success. Therefore, the success of mobile learning (ML) depends on the students' acceptance of the method. Regarding this point, this quantitative research aims to identify factors that affect switching intention to adopt ML among university…

Cloud computing service has been found to be effective in increasing the capacity of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) since it delivers services through enhanced information technology capabilities. Quality of Service (QoS) in cloud service is considered a rapidly growing phenomenon to guarantee a high level of service and is identified as an…
