The importance of the contribution of technology to education and training is undeniable. Social studies, one of the disciplines that come to mind about the correct and appropriate use of…

This study examines pre-service teachers' understanding of technology integration and the role of AI tools in shaping this perspective. Open-ended responses, analysed using topic modelling, reveal the main themes in pre-service teachers' views and compare them with topics generated by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Bing AI. Key themes in…

Despite vast improvements in technology infrastructure and classroom technology implementation across Malaysia, there still remain teachers who fail to seamlessly integrate technology in their lessons. Potential explanations for this behaviour span from low self-efficacy and computer anxiety to personal attitudes and beliefs. Technology has been…

As technology advances, the educational landscape continually evolves to integrate innovative technologies into teaching and learning strategies. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology with potential for inclusion in educational systems. This dissertation delves into the role of AR in education, structured around three connected studies, each…

This case study investigated the development of prospective mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in graphical data displays with (VM) within the context of a microteaching lesson study (MLS). This research investigated how five participants integrated technology and implemented a lesson plan aimed to teach…

Preservice teachers' beliefs regarding technology integration significantly influence their future teaching practices. This qualitative study examines the beliefs and intentions of 51 preservice teachers within the context of technology integration in their envisioned teaching scenarios. Thematic analysis identified three primary themes. Firstly,…

Considering preservice teachers' reflections on their best academic learning experiences, the purpose of this research was to use a problem-solving lens to analyze how preservice teachers were first identifying an educational problem and then suggesting solutions where educational technology could be meaningfully implemented. This research used an…

Little is known about pre-service teachers' (PSTs) content-specific pedagogical beliefs and what causes alignment or misalignment, particularly when it comes to technology integration in emergency remote teaching (ERT). This study looked at the use of technology in teaching practice, content-specific pedagogical views held by PSTs, and the factors…

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.…

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…

The research model, which aims to determine the correlation between the level of teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use and the level of technology acceptance and use and to what extent teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use predicts technology acceptance and use, is a…

This systematic literature review identifies and examines the trends, theories or frameworks, practices and recommendations for future studies of pre-service teachers' (PSTs') technology integration during teaching practice. The review is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis 2020 checklist. The reviewed…

In the context of globalization and rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), ICT competence is crucial in professional training, including education. This study focuses on integrating ICT into the educational processes of future science teachers to enhance their ICT competence. The objective is to evaluate ICT's…

Purpose: This study seeks to review the literature on contemporary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education practices to frame approaches that can be used to prepare STEM pre-service teachers. Design/methodology: This study used a systematic literature review guided by PRISMA 2020 statement. Following some eligibility…
