The main purpose of the article is to demonstrate the need for multidimensional professional training of employees for challenges related to the rapidly-developing digitalization, which consequently translate into the competitiveness of the economy. The theses presented in the article have been verified using: literature review, critical…

This study examines the impact of various factors on teachers' anxiety toward teaching in Virtual Reality (VR) environments. Specifically, the research proposes a hypothetical model and investigates the influence of technical proficiency, self-efficacy, and school support on VR teaching anxiety. A total of 329 teachers with prior experience in VR…

Educational Data Mining (EDM) is an interdisciplinary field that encapsulates different fields such as computer science, education, and statistics. It is crucial to make data mining in education to shape future trends in education for policymakers, researchers, and educators in terms of developments. To have an all-inclusive understanding of EDM…

For educational institutions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas, the provision of practical learning scenarios is, traditionally, a major concern. In the 21st century, the explosion of information and communication technology (ICTs), as well as the universalization of low-cost hardware, has allowed the proliferation…

This study examined how well people can recognize and relate to animated pedagogical agents of varying ethnicities/races and genders. For both Study 1 (realistic-style agents) and Study 2 (cartoon-style agents), participants viewed brief video clips of virtual agents of varying racial/ethnic categories and gender types and then identified their…

Today creativity is increasingly recognized as an essential component of success. The purpose of the study is to test a method of consensus assessment of contemporary dance, which allows a viewer to subconsciously assess the manifestation of creativity in contemporary dance. The sample of participants was formed on the basis of users of Chinese…

Background: Despite the significant emphasis on self-determination in special education and the crucial role of mobile learning, there is a notable absence of path modelling studies that explore the effect of self-determination on the usage of mobile learning by students with special needs. Objectives: This study sought to investigate the…

This dissertation examines the role of digitalization in new venture internationalization in three studies: a systematic literature review, a quantitative study, and a qualitative study. The systematic literature review synthesizes existing literature in the research domains of digitalization and international opportunity recognition, as well as…

Aim/Purpose: This paper aims to address the gap in comprehensive, real-world applications of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education, particularly in higher education settings. Despite the evident potential of GenAI in transforming educational practices, there is a lack of consolidated knowledge about its practical effectiveness…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted in educational contexts to provide personalized support to students and teachers. The unprecedented capacity of LLM-based applications to understand and generate natural language can potentially improve instructional effectiveness and learning outcomes, but the integration of LLMs in education…

Many technology acceptance models used in education were originally designed for general technologies and later adopted by education researchers. This study extends Davis' technology acceptance model to specifically evaluate educational technologies in higher education, focusing on virtual classrooms. Prior research informed the construction of…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models have been a commonly used tool for tracking students' knowledge status. Recent advances in deep knowledge tracing (DKT) have demonstrated increased performance for knowledge tracing tasks in many datasets. However, interpreting students' states on single knowledge components (KCs) from DKT models could be challenging…

Introduction: "High-tech" assistive technology (AT) plays a critical role in the lives and educational experiences of students with visual impairments (i.e. those who are blind or have low vision). However, little is known about how these students actually use AT within their educational programs. Methods: A survey examining AT use and…

University campuses worldwide are increasingly adopting eTextbooks and digital resources. To better understand how this new technology is influencing students and instructors, the researcher designed a survey to gather student and faculty perspectives at one medium-sized regional university in the Southwest United States regarding which factors…

This paper explores the roles of information and communication technology (ICT) coordinators, using architectures for learning as the theoretical framework to identify (a) the structures and mechanisms utilized to decide the role of a coordinator and (b) those organized for the coordinator to realize a role within a school context of ICT-enabled,…
