Generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversation agents such as ChatGPT are increasingly being used in teacher education. Although ChatGPT can provide ample resources for lesson planning, little attention has been paid to how teacher candidates construct prompts and evaluate AI-generated outputs in real time to develop lesson plans.…

Alongside technological advances, the educational potential of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and the metaverse has generated significant interest in the field of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). However, despite this heightened interest, there have been no studies that have delved into the effective integration of these two…

This study investigates the integration and application of ChatGPT among U.S. higher education students across various academic disciplines. Given the recent introduction of ChatGPT in educational contexts, this research aims to understand the specific ways students utilize this tool for academic tasks and their perceived impact on their academic…

Demands of the workplace and society have made 21st-century knowledge and skills critical elements for success. As a result, the role of teachers in adequately preparing students to meet these demands continues to grow. National and state standards also call for increased attention to multimodal reading and writing. Today's teachers must have the…

Considering the widespread belief in the potential of mobile technology to enhance core activities of teachers, like lesson planning and preparation, limited research has been conducted on the use of mobile technology to support these activities. To address this research gap, this study delved into the acceptance of an intent-based chatbot…

Background/purpose: The marginalization of art education globally has prompted concerns about the instructional competence of art teachers. This study probed the potential of microteaching lesson study as a remedy, with a novel integration of generative artificial intelligence. Materials/methods: This was a pre-test/post-test controlled study with…

This study explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in geometry education and examines the immersive platform's potential to enhance student engagement and understanding through a case report. While students appreciated the interactive and collaborative aspects of VR, they also faced challenges such as VR sickness and technical issues.…

Despite the widespread integration of technological tools in pre-service English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) education, there has been a dearth of research investigating the effects of the latest virtual platforms on pre-service teachers' competence in lesson planning, perceived presence, and perceptions, particularly in relation to high- and…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the 5E learning model designed in accordance with a techno pedagogical lesson plan on student success and attitude in a Turkish course. The research is quantitative and uses a quasi-experimental model with pre-test/post-test control groups. The universe of this study consisted of 8th grade students…

Data-driven learning (DDL) is an increasingly popular area of research for language teaching and is gradually being incorporated into teacher education programs globally. However, assessing teacher trainees' (self-reported) corpus literacy, and its impact on eventually (and successfully) incorporating corpora into language teaching, is an ongoing…

There is an urgent need to address the critical demand for qualified Chinese language teachers against the background of China's seeking greater Sino--foreign cultural and educational cooperation. The literature on integrating technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in language teaching has been increasing in the last few years.…

Despite attempts to discourage the use of machine translation (MT), we have observed that students continue to rely on it. Are teachers powerless? We believe not! Consistent with a range of solutions proposed in previous publications, we hypothesized that a "hands-on" approach would be effective in helping students raise awareness of the…

The present study is an extension of studies that measure pre-service teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) confidence. It provides new perspectives on pre-service teachers' TPACK by shifting the focus to concrete concerns and strengths indicated by pre-service teachers. The target group consists of a cohort of first-year…

Purpose: Research advocates for the use of good teaching practices and approaches while integrating technology in digitally enhanced learning. This is on the premise that previous studies on mobile learning have neglected this aspect of technology integration resulting in numerous challenges. Moreover, there is evidence in the literature showing a…

In this study, the impact of activity designing experiences with Web 2.0 tools on prospective math teachers was examined. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of activity design experiences organized with Web 2.0 tools in the mathematics teaching course on the technological pedagogical content efficacy of prospective teachers, their…
