Immersive extended reality (XR) technologies, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality, and mixed reality, are transforming the landscape of education and training through experiences that promote skill acquisition and enhance memory retention. These technologies have notably improved decision making and situational awareness in public…

The autoethnographic study investigates the transformative impact of generative AI on educational research, instructional design, and teaching practices over a 5-month period (May-October 2024). By integrating AI tools into every phase of the research process, the study examines AI's role as both a research partner and a subject of inquiry. Field…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has caused significant disruptions on a global scale in various workplace settings, including the field of instructional design (ID). Given the paucity of research investigating the impact of GenAI on ID work, we conducted a mixed methods study to understand instructional designers (IDs)'…

Entrepreneurship education is increasingly emphasized in primary schools, yet many teachers are not adequately prepared to effectively cultivate students' entrepreneurial skills. This study investigated primary teachers' professional development needs for promoting entrepreneurial characteristics among students and developed a tailored learning…

Engineers contribute to large-scale socio-technical challenges, and human-centered design offers a design thinking approach that helps engineers develop a thorough understanding of the socio-technical effects of their design work. Thus, effective strategies for assessing and teaching human-centered design are needed. This study aimed to identify…

This article explores the epistemological trade-offs that practical and technology design fields make by exploring past philosophical discussions of design, practitioner research, and pragmatism. It argues that as technologists apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to more domains, the technology brings this same set of…

In this study, Q methodology was employed to explore instructional designers' perceptions of integrating ChatGPT in their design practices. Compared with traditional survey-based instruments that rely heavily on Likert-scale items, open-ended questions, interviews, or focus groups, Q methodology has the potential to systematically reveal and study…

This systematic literature review explores the ethical considerations and challenges instructional designers face when integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the instructional design process for adult learners. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to examine the relationship of ethics, pedagogy, and…

The integration of ICT in education in developing countries has become a significant focus in various ODA projects and educational research. With the increasing demand for teachers to incorporate ICT in their classrooms, the precise methods for effectively integrating ICT resources have not been thoroughly explored. Therefore, this research aimed…

K-12 educators must effectively integrate technology and teach across face-to-face, blended, and online learning environments. However, many teacher preparation programs are ill-equipped to support the development of deep educational technology skills in preservice teachers. Therefore, new methods for preparing preservice teachers for their future…

This paper explores co-design in Japanese education for deploying data-driven educational technology and practice. Although there is a growing emphasis on data to inform educational decision-making and personalize learning experiences, challenges such as data interoperability and inconsistency with teaching goals prevent practitioners from…

In an examination of the social anticipations within the technical, the idea of accessibility is prominent. It is itself a disclosure of the idea of technical interaction, that of technical subjects with technical objects. Accessibility opens the idea of interaction to one of freer access. Technical accessibility implies, on the factual side,…

Digitally enhanced teaching does not imply neglecting appropriate teaching strategies and approaches. There are assertions that negative learning outcomes obtained in blended learning could be a result of neglecting the use of an appropriate lesson planning framework, teaching strategies and approaches. Already, there are calls for the use of more…

This paper reviews the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in transforming the landscape of educational game design. The recent rise and development of GenAI have expanded its applications in creating dynamic and interactive game systems. This review explores the potential of GenAI to craft personalized educational game designs that…

Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…
