This study explores how teachers' attitudes towards ICT and classroom diversity of students with special educational needs (SEN) influence the use of educational technologies. Introducing the Simpson Index as a novel measure of SEN diversity, results highlight that personal satisfaction with technology use predicts its adoption, particularly in…

Talking productively with students and sufficiently integrating technology into mathematics classrooms have long been regarded as two hurdles for mathematics teachers. To enhance preservice mathematics teachers' dialogic teaching skills and integration of GeoGebra-scaffolded dynamic visualizations, this study proposed and examined the…

This teaching and training case demonstrates how gamification was adopted in the course design of the Tech Integration Coach Pathway, a professional development initiative for Texas adult education and literacy (AEL) staff and teachers to become technology integration coaches. The purpose of the course is to develop certified technology…

Context: This study analyzes the implementation of a blended learning middle school mathematics intervention in a large urban school district in the northeastern United States. Blended learning models integrate online instructional tools within traditional methods of classroom instruction. Focus of Study: As their use increases in classrooms…

The integration of wearables in education environments to enhance teaching and learning is an emerging area of research. However, many studies lack the rigor of formal research designs and results are inconclusive. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the overall effect of wearable use on learning and motivation outcomes and describe…

The aim of the study was to investigate neutralisation techniques used by lecturers to justify their resistance behaviours during the implementation of learning management systems (LMS) in higher educational institutions (HEIs). Moreover, we explored why lecturers employed such neutralisation techniques to justify their resistance behaviours. A…

A breakthrough in the development of online learning occurred with the utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMS) as a tool for creating, distributing, tracking, and managing various types of educational and training material. In recent years, major technological enhancements transformed the LMS into powerful software for providing…

In 2001, Prensky characterised a new generation of learners entering higher education as "digital natives" -- naturally digitally literate and inherently proficient users of technology. While many educational technology researchers have long argued for the need to move beyond the digital native assumptions proposed by Prensky and other…

The rapid and ongoing development of digital technologies continues to create new opportunities for education. Over the last decade this has enabled the establishment of blended learning approaches and online education. More recently, Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a unique technology that can transform learning experiences across diverse…

The adoption and integration of digital technology in organizations are crucial not only for communication, administration and management, but also a meaningful asset to support learning and teaching as well as organizational change. However, existing models of educational technology adoption and integration predominantly focus on school settings…

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how middle school science teachers enact the practice of using technology to support collaborative argumentation in their science classroom. This study employs qualitative case study and drew on data sources of interviews and observations. This study identifies two themes. Six teachers regard…

This paper is an investigation into the technologies necessary to support the academic success of students entering college classrooms. Students beginning college bring a variety of technologies to campus and have varied expectations as to what the college will or should provide. This research seeks to discover the technology students own, expect,…

Technology is ever increasing in the world of education. Teachers and students alike have more access to technology, and through that comes the opportunity for teachers to change how they are presenting that information to students to impact on student learning. The problem addressed by the study is, if long term professional development of…

Goals and policy related to artificial intelligence (AI) will focus on improving learning for each learner. State Education Agencies (SEAs) must determine how to begin the journey to this outcome. The steps in this report outline in depth the first steps SEAs can take to begin development of an AI-related vision and strategic objectives that will…

This study sought to explain the differences in the computational thinking skills of primary school students. The survey model was adopted for the research. In the study, in which 780 primary school students participated, the relationship between computational thinking skills and factors at the student (gender, parent education status, internet…
