Over the last decades, digital technologies (DTs) have become ubiquitous in mathematics education. Still, their integration into classroom teaching and learning varies enormously. In this narrative overview, we focus on the different purposes for which DTs are used in mathematics education in order to study how the effectiveness of DTs depends on…

Previous research on technology implementation in rural schools has focused on two types of challenges: (1) access to internet-ready technological devices and the infrastructure to operate them and (2) teacher attitudes and beliefs about technologies. This research drew on posthumanism to explore tensions that emerged as technological devices were…

Introduction: Over 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities, necessitating their inclusion in health systems and workplaces. Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing accessibility and digital inclusion for these individuals, improving everyday tasks and enabling autonomous mobility. AI can be applied to visually impaired, reduced…

In our increasingly digitized society, where technology use is ubiquitous, nearly all activities require access to and proficiency using digital tools. Proficient internet use may lead to the pursuit of higher education, launching a fulfilling career, or part of habits and healthy lifestyles where education is lifelong and life-wide. This study…

Virtual Reality (VR) technology in learning activities assists in visualizing abstract phenomena of physics concepts. This technology supports the delivery of effective and meaningful learning experiences. The main objectives of this study, therefore, are to analyze the level of students' readiness to use VR technology in higher education, and to…

Technology is a powerful tool to enhance learning and it has the potential to remove barriers to education for all children. When supporting countries' use of technology for education (Tech4Ed), the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) maintains a focus on equity and bridging the digital divide. This factsheet provides an overview of the…

This research employs the spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SFAHP) to prioritize key factors shaping the higher education quality in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam within the context of increasing digitalization. Through a structured hierarchy encompassing criteria such as accessibility of digital resources, adaptability and innovation,…

The study investigates pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs towards digital education. Using a simple random sampling technique, a total of 120 pre-service teachers were selected as participants. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire specifically designed to assess various factors influencing digital education readiness.…

Purpose: The objective of this research was to test the effect of information and communication technology (ICT) resources, library facilities, teacher lecturing skills and physical classroom environment on student satisfaction and university image. This paper also sought to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by confirming the role of…

Aim/Purpose: Despite increasing access to technology, persistent disparities in digital competence and self-efficacy remain among marginalized pre-service teachers, often exacerbated by systemic inequities and the digital divide. This research explores the gap in knowledge of the lived experiences of marginalized pre-service teachers' (PST) prior…

This conceptual paper draws on a wide range of research and policy literature, providing a contemporary view of issues, factors and practices that affect education for digitally excluded populations. Concern for how education for digitally excluded populations can be supported is focal to this paper, with different sections offering key related…

In the digital-revolutionary era, the role of teachers utilizing ICT-based learning resources in schools has become very important. However, it has become evident that its application is not always optimal. This can be the case in some schools in developing countries, possibly because of factors such as human resources, readiness, facilities, and…

Our study provides a critical exploration of the factors limiting equal access to educational technology (EdTech) in the Philippines. Despite the Department of Education's commitment to using technology to improve learning outcomes, the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened existing disparities. Utilising a combination of a systematic literature review…

While technological advances have led to digital transformation in many higher education institutions (HEIs), digital divide, especially among students in developing nations, is becoming a growing concern. This study aims to investigate the use of digital technology among B40 students (students from the lower socioeconomic backgrounds) in…

This paper aims to contribute knowledge about the influences of leaders' perceptions of digitalisation on arrangements for leading the expansion of access to and application of digital technologies in K-12 education. Supporting the digitalisation of K-12 education requires digital competence. School organisers' and school leaders' digital…
