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…

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…

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…

Tech use in teaching and learning has been considered as a contributory factor aiding academic success. Its lack in rural schools has also been considered as a hindrance to quality education. This study through a qualitative method explored the intersection of innovation and technology use as well as the challenges of disconnection. This was done…

Effective organic chemistry instruction necessitates an adaptable approach that accommodates varied learning styles and improves students' comprehension of concepts. To attain this goal, teachers may employ visualization, molecular modeling, and interactive software to explain three-dimensional structures and spatial interactions. Thus, the…

This study explores the level of engagement with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) supported content among students and teachers in learning sciences and basic computing at Rwandan lower secondary schools. Data were collected from ten well-equipped smart classrooms across ten schools. A sample of 394 participants included ten deputy…

In the digital era, the application of technology in education is increasingly important to enhance student engagement and learning effectiveness. The aim of this study is to explore teachers' perceptions of twenty-first century learning technology innovations, specifically the implementation of gamification in elementary science education. Using…

This is the fourth in a series of five briefs published by Office of Education Technology (OET) on the key considerations facing educational leaders as they work to build and sustain core digital infrastructure for learning. These briefs offer recommendations to complement the fundamental infrastructure considerations outlined in the 2017 OET…
