This article examines the significance of professional development (PD) in shaping the beliefs undergirding teachers' classroom practices specifically learner-centred and teacher-centred beliefs, ICT beliefs and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It highlights key considerations for designing and implementing PD grounded in…

Many studies have been conducted on in-service mathematics teachers' beliefs and instructional practices regarding integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into teaching. This systematic review study investigates in-service mathematics teachers' beliefs, instructional practices, and the relationship between them in integrating…

The potential of digital fabrication technology (DFT) in education has attracted the attention of many educational stakeholders over the last decade. However, there is scant literature on how in-service teachers take part in teacher professional development (TPD) to equip themselves with necessary DFT skills and knowledge. In response, this…

This qualitative descriptive study explored how teachers perceive the significance of their leadership and digital pedagogy in fostering students' self-directed learning skills in a digital learning environment. Grounded in transformational leadership theory, Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory and ISTE standards, the study answered three…

Purpose: Education 4.0 (E 4.0) represents a new paradigm in the field of education, which emphasizes a student-centric approach that allows learners to access education anytime, anywhere, tailored to their individual needs through modern-day technologies. The purpose of the study was to unearth the critical success factors (CSFs) essential for the…

Online communities of practice (online CoP) have emerged as a viable method for teacher professional development regarding the emphasis on teacher networks for effective professional development and the elimination of some restrictions with online learning. Moreover, most technology integration studies examine teacher-centered technology…

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has undoubtedly forms an important channel for improving student learning through continuous access to information and knowledge development. Evidence suggests that teachers in rural secondary schools are still unclear about how to use technology appropriately to facilitate particular approaches to…

Learning environments with a one-to-one student-to-computer ratio have unique qualities when compared with traditional learning spaces. Past studies have focused on the impact of the technology, but we continue to fall short of understanding how to systematically utilize one-to-one technology to facilitate instructional improvement. This study…

A crucial step in improving the use of digital technology (DT) for learning mathematical concepts in the classroom appears to be increasing teacher involvement in task development. Hence, this research considered the effect of a professional development (PD) programme designed to assist teachers with DT task production for implementation in their…

Mishra and Koehler's technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) theory can help provide the framework for measuring needed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in faculty members at 2-year public colleges. This study tests a self-assessment survey in a large sample of 2-year public college faculty members. Using factor analysis, the…

Digital technologies are prevalent in society and K-12 classrooms today and the belief that educational technology can be a transformative agent of change in education is ever increasing. However, the use of technology as a transformative learning tool for all students has not yet been realized. Research in this area indicates that teachers are…

This study investigated the effectiveness of the role of an instructional technology coach in a K-8 school district in Southern California as a model for professional development for the integration of technology in instruction. It was hypothesized that a change initiative developed with the philosophy of the concerns-based adoption model (Hall…

The purpose of this quantitative study was to identify perceptions, determine differences in perceptions, and identify how effective the implementation of a framework such as TPACK connected to classroom technology integration of design and facilitation as defined by selected 2017 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards…

In the last two decades, higher education researchers have reported numerous benefits of integrating technology tools in course instruction and their subsequent impact on the students' learning process. In spite of the accumulation of the large amount of evidence and multiple calls to adopt technology tools in instruction, traditional lecturing is…

Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) has carried out curricular reform since 2000 to introduce Student Centered Learning (SCL) as well as the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). To meet the demands of this reform, UEM has introduced professional development training for teachers. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge…
