This study examines the factors influencing preservice teachers' (PSTs) technology integration during teaching practice in teacher preparation programs. Utilizing a multidimensional framework, the study integrates models such as TPACK, UTAUT, and the Triple-E evaluation rubric, among others. The research involved a Qualtrics survey of 1,217 PSTs…

During teacher education programs, teacher students are expected to develop the digital competence necessary for their future roles as teachers. A vital aspect of this competence involves integrating digital tools into educational activities. Some digital tools, such as response systems, are designed and used to encourage student participation…

Students' behavior and academic achievement are improved when technology is integrated into instruction in ways that support learning. Technology integration competency (TIC) has become a critical capacity for second language (L2) pre-service teachers in the digital era. However, the significance of such competency has been neglected in the field…

Despite the critical role teachers play in AI education, research on their understanding of generative AI tools remains limited, particularly concerning their ethical assessment knowledge. This study addresses the gap by proposing the Generative AI Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (GenAI-TPACK) framework, which incorporates ethical…

Today's generation exhibits a strong affinity for video games, presenting an opportunity to harness this interest for educational purposes. Integrating gaming elements into education has the potential to captivate students while improving information retention. Virtual reality (VR), in particular, offers a transformative approach by creating…

This study explores the integration of H5P (HTML5), an open-source content creation platform, in a teacher preparation program at a medium-sized public university in the south of the USA. Conducted over five semesters, the research involved 94 undergraduate students (pre-service teachers). The study aimed to evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness…

This study examined how technology integration in teacher training programs affects cultural and linguistic competency development among pre-service instructors. Based on the Cultural Competence Theory and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge TPACK model, this research utilized a systematic literature review approach to integrate…

Teacher education programs struggle to infuse educational technology (edtec) throughout the curriculum. Edtec faculty can play several roles within the programmatic design of teacher education programs. The purpose of this study was to explore edtec faculty perspectives of technology infusion efforts within their preparation programs. Q…

This descriptive research study was done at a small, rural-serving, liberal arts university within an online, graduate-level special education teacher preparation program. Participants were graduate students (n = 9) who were provided a technology kit as a recruitment tool. All participants were completing their licensure coursework over one year…

Research on educational technology (EdTech) integration has extensively explored determinants; however, strategies remain underexamined. Existing models predominantly focus on identifying the determinants of technology adoption yet fail to offer systemic frameworks for sustainable EdTech integration. This study bridges that gap by investigating…

Integrating educational technology (EdTech) in colleges of teacher education (CTEs) in developing countries presents complex challenges influenced by various factors. In Ethiopia, where research on this subject is limited, these institutions, which play a critical role in preparing future educators, remain unexplored. This study explores the…

The research paper explores the impact of assignments on enhancing educational technology awareness among postgraduate trainee English language teachers at the Hellenic Open University. The study focused on participants in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) program, specifically those engaging in the 13-week training module…

The burgeoning role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education prompts crucial discussions regarding its implications for teaching and learning. This qualitative study probes the argumentative perspectives of 118 teacher candidates from Igdir University on the integration of AI into educational practices. Employing Toulmin's (1958) model, we…

By creating specific prompts, educators can harness the power of AI models to generate tailored content, provide instant feedback, and simulate real-world scenarios for deeper learning engagement. Whether it's creating personalized lesson plans, generating creative writing prompts, or assisting with problem-solving exercises, generative AI creates…

The article explores how to shape digital competences among pre-service teachers within the university education system.
