Pre-service teachers' often suboptimal use of technology in teaching can be explained by low levels of technology acceptance. The present study aims to investigate how technology acceptance can be promoted. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model by Davis (1986), we hypothesized that encouraging pre-service teachers to constructively engage with…

Integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for meaningful constructivist instruction has become essential in teacher education. This study investigated preservice teachers' intention to integrate ICT for constructivist learning from the perspectives of their Internet epistemic beliefs (IEB) and Internet-based learning…

This research is set in the active learning context and focuses on students' intentions for presentation. Following research that suggests teachers' teaching intentions and approaches are influenced by conceptions of teaching, we tested if a similar relationship exists between students' conceptions of teaching and their intentions for…

The current study provides an integrated comprehensive analysis of mediation-moderation models to understand 567 tourism and hospitality students' viewpoints by exploring multidisciplinary contributions relevant to the big data and new technology application bodies of literature. The results show that self-efficacy was the primary motivation…

The aim of this study was (1) to describe challenges prospective teachers perceive during project work in a pedagogical makerspace and coping strategies they develop to deal with the challenges, (2) to analyse the development of prospective teachers' TPACK and attitudes towards the use of ICT in class. Challenges regarding project work and coping…

Pedagogical beliefs are a critical factor in terms of integrating technology into teaching, but very few technology acceptance models (TAMs) have considered them. Hence, this study aims to extend the TAM by incorporating pre-service teachers' conception of teaching and learning. The revised model examined the influence of pre-service mathematics…

Learning management systems (LMS) are one of the most used educational technologies in higher education. It has been argued that LMSs have not reached their full potential since most are used for distributing materials, not for improving interaction and communications in classes. To better understand what influences LMS tool use, this study used…

This study aims to test a model investigating the contribution of computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, constructivist teaching beliefs, and computer attitude to predicting English student teachers' behavioral intention to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in their future classes. The sample of the study consists of 861…

Young players report that they dropout of organized football due to excessive emphasis on technical execution, low success, and the lack of autonomy and motivation experienced by players during training sessions. Purpose: To determine whether a TGfU intervention during a youth football program led players to improve in variables related to…

This mixed-method research was conducted to examine the perceptions of self-learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) toward mobile learning (m-learning) apps. It integrated several constructs from the technology acceptance model (TAM) and constructivist learning theory (CLT) to provide a detailed picture of the learners' perceptions. The…

As an emerging learning method, mobile technologies allow students to gain knowledge via both formal and informal learning. In spite of the advantages mobile technologies bring to education, its adoption for learning purposes has not been encouraging. Existing research on mobile learning acceptance has been mainly focused on technological and use…

Using lesson observations, the study reported in this article explores how two practising secondary mathematics teachers implemented formative assessment actions in their classroom teaching. The study also investigated whether teachers' beliefs about teaching and assessment could be mapped onto their classroom practices. In particular, while the…

University teachers are the main players when it comes to integrating e-learning systems into higher education institutions. Prior studies have identified four main antecedents that explain teachers' technology acceptance in the educational context: (a) subjective norms (SN), (b) technological complexity (TC), (c) constructivist beliefs (CB), and…

Background: Although a great deal of research has been undertaken from 1982 on TGfU, teachers consider its implementation to be complex and are reluctant to integrate it into their teaching practice. Furthermore, some TGfU literature does not suggest how it might be implemented and how problems might be overcome. On the other hand, a review of…

This study takes a social constructivist approach to examining how mathematics professional development facilitators and teachers enacted a professional development (PD) program in a large statewide network of collaboratives. Facilitators (29 in total, 11 we followed closely) attended an initial PD and then presented what they had learned to…
