Background: In taking up educational technology tools and student-centered instructional practice, there is consensus that instructors consider the unique aspects of their instructional context. However, tool adoption success is often framed narrowly by numerical uptake rates or by conformity with non-negotiable components. Purpose: We pursue an…

Although various studies advocate for the integration of information and communication technologies in education, the forced digitization caused by the pandemic has yielded contradictory results on student learning. Conversely, research has shown that when students manage ICT, they achieve better learning outcomes but when teacher-centered…

This case-study analyzed the pedagogical uses of 1:1 devices at a mid-cost private school in India. Relying on interviews, classroom observations, and naturalistic qualitative approaches, we categorized classroom technology use according to the PICRAT model of technology--Passive-Interactive-Creative and Replacement-Amplification-Transformation.…

The chapter looks into the development trajectory of a Singapore ICT-enriched primary school to understand how the school has harnessed ICT to meet the demands of pedagogical reform for student-centred learning. The qualitative case study maps out the development trajectory of the school's ICT integration path from year 2001 to 2013. Data sources…

Technology is undoubtedly a foundational asset for higher education providers, but for many leaders in the sector it remains something of a black box. This collection of essays brings together leading EdTech voices to explain how technology is already improving higher education and how much more it could potentially do to transform the student…

This article explores the current research on teacher integration of instructional technology in their teaching practices. The literature shows that teachers continue, as they have for decades, to be reluctant and struggle to incorporate instructional technology resources into their lessons, depriving their students of needed skills and…

Mathematical cognitive technology tools, such as Desmos, have the capacity to provide rich mathematical experiences for students (Bos, 2009; Dick & Hollebrands, 2011). To maximize the benefits of MCTs, teachers must believe the technology will help students understand mathematics and be skilled at using the technology (Doerr & Zangor,…

Mobile devices are ubiquitous, but their potential for adaptive educational interventions remains largely untapped. We identify three key promises of mobile interventions for educational research and practice: 1) intervening when it is most beneficial (i.e., "just-in-time adaptivity"), 2) estimating causal effects of interventions in…

This mixed methods research study examined the relationship between faculty mindset and their perceived use of instructional technology in the higher education classroom. Recognizing the growing importance of technology-mediated learning interventions, the researcher sought to gain a deeper understanding of how mindset influenced the use of…

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered K-12 education, compelling physical education (PE) instructors to adapt swiftly to remote teaching.
