This study raises a critical question: 'what does it mean to be smart teachers in the era of technology?'. To provide a concrete and comprehensive answer, the authors analyse multiple discourses revolving around SMART education, an education technology reform initiative in South Korea. This article critically examines the significance of SMART…

Globally, less than 10% of schools are developing uniquely local artificial intelligence (AI) policies and addressing use cases. Policies and guide rails for using AI in education that are in place have rightfully called for us to address the ethical implications and biases that can arise with regard to AI tools and systems. The landscape of what…

This study aims to determine how technophobia, or dread of technology, hinders education and offers future research recommendations. Utilizing systematic reviews, researchers scoured numerous research sources for articles on technophobia in education. The admissions criteria were established, and 18 research works that met those criteria were…

The ubiquity of IT (Information technology) for teaching at large is a reality that can be observed, including STEM education, which is the field of study of this research. In view of this situation, this work is intended to determine the role of IT in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education. It was decided to conduct a…

Background: Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) have sparked recently in improving the effectiveness of teacher education. However, there is a lack of review regarding the utilisation of these technologies in this field. These three technologies, namely VR, AR and MR, can be collectively referred to as extended…

Evaluation is an essential component of the learning process when discerning learning situations. Assessing natural language responses, like short answers, takes time and effort. Artificial intelligence and natural language processing advancements have led to more studies on automatically grading short answers. In this review, we systematically…

Technology-enhanced education can potentially enhance teaching and learning outcomes for rural educators since they face limited educational resources and low job satisfaction. Recently, there has been a surge in extended reality (XR) as an immersive learning technology to improve teaching and learning in rural areas, but without focusing on rural…

The use of Web-based technologies in education and ways they can improve teaching and learning have been the focus of interest in the educational community during the recent years. In this regard, wikis are one of the most promising technologies. Many research studies have been presented that integrate wikis in educational settings. The abundance…

The escalating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly the widespread use of ChatGPT in higher education, necessitates a profound exploration of effective communication strategies. This paper addresses the critical role of prompt development as a skill essential for university instructors engaging with ChatGPT. While…

Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) has experienced a rapid rise in the past decade. This systematic review is the first examining the use of AIEd in K-12 including 169 extant studies from 2011 to 2021. This study provides contextual information from the research, such as the educational disciplines, educational levels, research purposes,…

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is anticipated to peak in development this decade bringing new opportunities for 3D multimodal designing across all levels of education. The need for students to gain capabilities with multimodal texts--texts that combine two or more modes, such as spoken, written, and visual--is emphasised at all levels of education…

As an important form of education in the future, Edu-Metaverse cannot only innovate the existing teaching mode, provide diversified teaching resources and environments, realize intelligent teaching evaluation and certification methods, etc., but also realize the real integration of people's physical world and virtual world. Therefore, how to…

This handbook presents the state-of-the art scholarship on theoretical frames, mathematical content, learning environments, pedagogic practices, teacher professional learning, and policy issues related to the development and use of digital resources in mathematics education. With the advent of more and more open access digital resources, teachers…

Educational Robotics has gained popularity in K-12 education as an effective tool to teach STEM topics and skills like computational thinking, programming, collaboration, and creativity. With rapid technological progress, educational robots have found ways into classrooms worldwide. However, challenges like the ease of use, cost, and requiring…

Using pre-service teachers' (PSTs) technological, pedagogical, content knowledge (TPACK) survey responses, this study's cluster analysis identified five distinct learning profiles: Pedagogical Content Knowledge Specialists, Technological Forerunners, Pedagogically Minded, Balanced Integrators, and TPACK Lingerers. Instead of using a single…
