Dynamic decision-making plays a critical role in teachers' instructional design and technology integration processes; it directly influences the design and development of teaching practices, student learning experiences, and learning environments. However, limited studies have investigated how teachers engage in dynamic decision-making processes…

We implemented design practices for a total of 85 pre-service teachers in a teacher-development course. This mixed-method study explored how design practices promoted pre-service teachers' technology-integration belief and the awareness of scientific-inquiry. In teacher-development courses, the goal of design practices is to enhance pre-service…

Background: The development of students' digital skills is essential to access the labour market and interact with society, being especially important in disadvantaged socioeconomic contexts affected by the digital divide. Objectives: The investigation has two objectives. On the one hand, to study the integration of ICT in disadvantaged contexts…

Purpose: Existing literature has reported a barrier list that could affect the implementation of digital transformation in higher education, yet the research question of how to identify barriers remained unanswered. Thus, this study intended to address this gap. Design/methodology/approach: The research design adopted a mixed-methods approach…

This study aims to provide a bibliometric mapping analysis of the studies on foreign language teaching in early childhood education in Web of Science. A total of 638 studies were reached however 596 studies were selected for the analysis. For bibliometric analysis, VOSViewer programme was used in order to reveal the most used keywords, words in…

Universities focus on digital transformation strategy to stay competitive in global education, staying competitive is taking on quite a different meaning in the 21st century -- it includes the long-term implications of COVID-19 -- the interaction of politics and economics, the emergence of China as a superpower, the end of neoliberalism, the…

For years, researchers and practitioners alike have searched for meaningful ways to describe or evaluate how technology was being integrated into teaching or to what level. This article will briefly summarize some of the predominant lenses through which to view technology integration and propose a new model for designing meaningfully…

The problem addressed in this study is that teachers are entering the classroom without the skills to integrate technology at the highest levels of the TIM scale. The perceptions of the participants can aid school officials, administrations, and the teachers themselves by providing what is motivating them to implement educational technology into…

This paper examines the technologisation of the pedagogical space "classroom". We will discuss the development and establishment of the subject-specific classroom system in the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany, 1949-1989) by taking a closer look at organisational-structural conditions and responsibilities, as well as at the…

One of the most advanced reality technologies for education in recent years is augmented reality (AR). To create a fun learning atmosphere and to aid student learning, several subjects have begun incorporating modern technology into their teaching and learning procedures. In addition to being extensively tested and developed for typical students,…

This perspective piece explores the transformative potential and associated challenges of large language models (LLMs) in education and how those challenges might be addressed utilizing playful and game-based learning. While providing many opportunities, the stochastic elements incorporated in how present LLMs process text, requires domain…

One of the top concerns of educational policies around the world is the use of digital tools in the teaching and learning process. In Morocco, the integration of technology into nursing education is taking on an increasingly prominent role, particularly after the introduction of the LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorat) system. This study investigates…

The metaverse is a network of interoperable and persistent 3-D virtual worlds where users can coexist and interact through mechanisms, such as gamification, nonfungible tokens, and cryptocurrencies. Although the metaverse is a theoretical construct today, many collaborative virtual reality (CVR) applications have emerged as potential components of…

Institutions are increasingly supplementing their traditional class formats with hybrid approaches that mix in-person, remote synchronous, and remote asynchronous delivery methods. Even when the student population expects and appreciates more flexibility in scheduling, students still struggle with technology-enhanced instruction when course design…

Justice-involved youth have a high risk of reoffending after release, indicating the need for evidence-based reentry programming. This paper presents the results of a two-year post-release non-randomized comparison study. The study examined the impact of enhanced transition programming, delivered through Reentry Intervention and Support for…
