The purpose of this study was to explore how a teacher's technology self-efficacy influences decisions they make about the use of technology in their classrooms. The factors influencing teachers' technology self-efficacy were examined through a qualitative transcendental phenomenological research design. This study's theoretical framework was…

The digital age is reshaping learning and instruction and encouraging educational technology advances within higher education institutions. However, online faculty are not integrating technology into their classes despite the technology related professional development they receive. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if a…

With the goal of investigating social construction of mathematics, analysis of classroom discourse is presented from the theoretical perspective of Distributed Cognition and the methodological perspective of cognitive micro-ethnography (Hutchins, 1995a, 2001). Twenty-nine students from two accelerated, sixth-grade mathematics classes were observed…

Massive open online courses provide virtually unlimited numbers of learners with access to instructors and course materials from high-status institutions. These courses are technologically intensive in ways that traditional online courses are not, which invites an examination of how the work to create these new forms may or may not work within…

As technology becomes more advanced, it becomes more tempting for teachers to integrate it into their lesson planning. Although technology can be beneficial to student learning, there are issues that arise as barriers during this integration of technology into the classroom. Some of these barriers include students becoming distracted and using the…

Participatory Learning (PL) integrates several learning approaches, engaging students throughout the entire assignment process for both online and face-to-face courses. Beyond simply providing a solution, students also craft a problem (problem-based learning), grade each other (peer assessment and feedback), evaluate themselves (self-assessment),…

There is a pressing need, as outlined in the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, to promote success for Indigenous learners in higher education. One pathway towards greater participation and success may be to empower Indigenous learners to engage with open source digital tools and platforms that promote digital…

The purpose of this case study was to explore the nature of instructors' gestures as they teach Euclidean transformations in a synchronous online setting, and to investigate how, if at all, the synchronous online setting impacted the instructors' intentionality and usage of gestures. The participants in this case study were two collegiate…

As part of the process for designing an online information technology (IT) course, hands-on activities may be included; however, the literature has not readily revealed the best practices and challenges instructional designers (IDs) face with including hands-on activities in an online IT course. Research has shown that hands-on learning increases…

In team-based medical tasks, digital tools facilitate information among medical experts to support patient safety. Although generally beneficial, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have not completely mitigated communication and clinical decision errors. The design of systems meant to facilitate information-transfer among care teams has been…

This design case describes the implementation of the Human-centered Design process, developed by the world leading design firm IDEO and Stanford d. school. The process describes the technology integration onto a teaching credential program course at a university in Central California. It reports the thought process to adopting HCD in the course…

Modern educational process has to take into account the tendencies in science and tech advancement and also demands of society to quality of education services. As one of the most effective ways, there is reasonably considered purposeful usage of digital educational resources. In this study, there has been considered modern educational technology…

Design-based research (DBR) and cognate, practitioner-oriented methodologies have gained increased prominence in the last twenty-five years, and in particular have become established approaches for exploring how we might best optimise the potential impact of digital technologies in education. This is highlighted by the research that shows how DBR…

This study is a follow up of Kang's study published in 2014. The purpose is to further examine the development pattern of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a topic and research area at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) conferences by analyzing ICT-related CIES conference papers from 2014 through 2019 (2016…

The introduction of digital technologies into mathematics classrooms requires an adaptation by teachers. To develop an understanding of technology integration in classrooms, this research focused on the use of dynamic geometry by a mathematics teacher who was a novice in technology-use, in the context of Turkish secondary school mathematics.…
