Purpose: Much of the literature investigating farmer engagement with digital technology has focused on farmer-centred adoption factors. However, more recent research has called for new user-centred approaches to technology design to promote more responsive development and ultimately more successful uptake. Methodology: Responding to these calls,…

This study aimed to examine the impact of the flipped classroom model applied in the information technologies courses on pre-service teachers' candidates' academic achievements, self-regulated learning skills, and classroom engagement. The research was conducted with a total of 96 pre-service teachers teacher candidates, 48 in the experimental…

This study examined the representational competence and fluency of preservice science teachers (PSTs) enrolled in a science teacher education program. It compared how these skills influence the understanding of the same cohort of PSTs when teaching concepts in chemistry and physics. Utilising a quantitative descriptive comparative design, the…

Currently, digital technology is becoming a leading force driving global education reform. The integration of artificial intelligence and education has brought opportunities for innovation and improvement in education. The level of AI ability of teachers and students determines the level of digitalization and intelligence in the development of…

Drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM), self-determination theory (SDT), expectation-confirmation model (ECM), and massive open online courses (MOOCs) design effects, the present work introduced a conceptual model for understanding the fine-grained mechanism underlying learner satisfaction and continuance intention. A structural equation…

Every year, 4 million people die from upper respiratory infections. Mask-wearing is crucial in preventing the spread of pathogen-containing droplets, which is the primary cause of these infections. However, most experiments for evaluating mask efficacy are either expensive and complex or inaccurate. In this work, a novel, low-cost, and…

The proliferation of ChatGPT in educational contexts and incorporating such technology into students' academic lives raise intriguing questions. Understanding the factors influencing the intention to adopt this novel technology is necessary for better integration and utilization. This study determined the correlates of intention to use ChatGPT…

Virtual learning technologies have become integral in education globally, with developed countries leading in implementation. In contrast, Global South countries like South Africa are only beginning to conceptualise Virtual Laboratory (VL) integration, with limited practical implementation. This study underscores the importance of understanding…

Recent studies have shown that teachers 'perception and attitudes about digital tools play a crucial role in how they integrate and use technology in the classroom. The purpose of the present study is to investigate physics teachers' perception and willingness towards educational video games (EVGs). Based on the literature review, a questionnaire…

Purpose: Since 2000, the Philippines has experienced significant growth domestic product (GDP) growth, particularly in the Information Technology Business Process Outsourcing (IT-BPO) sector, highlighting the need for skill development through Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Although enterprise-based training (EBT) is seen as…

This study is developing a Deep Learning model automating the coding of drawings students provide about climate change phenomena in our world, as a learning contribution through formative assessment. We started first with ResNet50 architecture, but ultimately, we settled on MobileNetV2 reduced architecture for the sake of being able to integrate…

The relative effectiveness of Google Classroom (GC) and WhatsApp (WSP) instructions on students' engagement in basic Biology in universities in SouthEast, Nigeria was examined. Two research questions and three null hypotheses were posed. A quasi-experimental, specifically nonrandomized, pretest-posttest comparison design was employed. The…
