This quantitative, correlational study examined the technology leadership skills of principals within the state of Illinois based upon demographic, grade-level, and cross categorical tabulations to determine technology domain competency. Data was collected using the TELECOM-EDAD scale, which was distributed through an electronic survey. Over 4,000…

There has been much research about tasks and learning environments but not yet sufficient regarding those involving mobile technologies for mathematics education. This paper discusses the quality of the expanding amount of tablet applications for primary school mathematics and their eloquent integration in student-centred learning environments…

The relevance and feasibility of this study are determined by the absence of serious, scientific research, as well as teaching materials, when it comes to the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching students and future teachers Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics (DGECG). The purpose of the study is to examine the current…

Teacher-dominated approach is still the most adopted teaching strategy in Ghanaian high schools despite the Government of Ghana's initiatives to support technology-oriented, learner-centred and interactive teaching practices. This study examined the effectiveness of simulation-based lessons in improving the teaching of high school physics by…

The aim of this study is to improve the quality of the mathematics curricula in Saudi universities by investigating the required changes in mathematics curricula in order to satisfy the demands of the Saudi Vision 2030. The researcher used qualitative methods to answer the research questions by randomly selecting a sample composed of some faculty…

Educational technologies have an important role in education today. They represent a relevant resource in the process between theorizing and educational practices, and they are essential in the awareness process for sustainability. Thus, technological education appears as a facilitator in this process, especially with students, parents, and…

Higher education institutions around the world are embracing computer-assisted learning and instruction practices creating four distinct learning environments namely: print, face-to-face, blended and online. This study assessed current online practices in all the four learning environments concurrently at both undergraduate and graduate levels at…

This is the first article in a series of two that offers some excellent advice for schools and teachers about how thoughtful and purposeful integration of technology can benefit mathematics classrooms. Several important principles to be considered are examined. [For the second article, "Beyond Fluency: Promoting Mathematical Proficiencies…

In an effort to highlight the need for, and lack of, quality empirical research in K-12 blended learning environments, this systematic narrative review investigated and reported on the quantity and quality of recent empirical research in K-12 blended learning, published between 2009 and February 2017. In addition to assessing the quality and scope…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of technology and online communication platforms in English language learning based on connectivist theory. Design/methodology/approach: Questionnaire and checklist were used to examine the role of online communication tools in the learning process. The data analysis was done with SPSS.…

We investigated teachers' perceptions and behaviors regarding the integration of tablets into their activities in the one-to-one classroom. The use of tablets in classroom instruction can enrich the pedagogical quality of students' collaborative activities, enhance classroom engagement, and facilitate various classroom activities. Seven focus…

Mobile devices are characterized by attractive advantages, and provide broad benefits in the university students' math teaching. Our study proposes integrating the Mobile Applications in teaching geometry. Findings of the researches showed that students face difficulties in learning geometry. The material and virtual maneuvers may assist the…

Distributed cognition, as it considers how technologies augment cognition, informs technology integration in education. Most educational technologists interested in distributed cognition embrace a representational theory of mind. As this theory assumes cognition occurs in the brain and depends on the internal representation of external…

School librarians play a key, though often unrecognized, role in teaching literacy skills (Knapp 2011; Lance and Hofschire 2012; Scholastic 2016). Research over two decades has repeatedly confirmed school libraries' and librarians' significant impact on learners' literacy achievement. Studies in more than twenty states and several Canadian…

Immersive virtual environments (IVEs) model scientific inquiry practices and can provide rich learning experiences for students. However, the teacher is an essential component of how the students engage with the technology, as they embed the IVE into everyday teaching and learning. Ideally, classroom pedagogies would reflect the scientific…
