Purpose: This paper compares the research traditions of organizational translation studies and adaptation studies. The purpose of this paper is to identify differences and similarities in how these traditions approach the study of change in adopted constructs, and by doing so, provide a better understanding of each and how they can inform research…

The rapid growth of inexpensive and easily accessible communicating devices embedded into new or existing physical devices transform them into the intelligent devices that comprise the Internet of Things (IoT). The increasing use of these devices has attracted attention from various sectors, including consumer market, business, industry, health,…

Information and communication technology (ICT) is an important element to improve teaching-learning practices. This paper is aimed to determine the barriers affecting the implementation of ICT in Ethiopian higher learning institutions by adapting the information system theory (i.e. Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework).

The emergence of wearable technologies, including smartwatches, has received a considerable attention from scholars across several sectors. However, there is a scarcity of knowledge regarding the determinants affecting the adoption of these wearables in education. Therefore, this research aims to propose a theoretical research model through the…

Technology integration in education has a great potential for learning, provided it is based on solid teacher knowledge and pedagogical reasoning.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has pervaded practically all aspects of our lives. In this exploratory study, we survey its applications in the field of education. It is evident that technology in general, and, in particular IoT, has been increasingly altering the educational landscape. The goal of this paper is to review the academic literature on…

This qualitative, exploratory case study elicited faculty members' perceptions of the factors that facilitate technology integration into their instruction. The sample for the study constituted 14 full-time male professors at a public midsized postsecondary institution in Qatar. Davis's technology acceptance model is the theoretical framework that…

Student engagement refers to the quality and quantity of students' psychological, cognitive, emotional and behavioral reactions to in-class and out-of-class academic and social activities to achieve successful learning outcomes. In literature, the Campus-Class-Technology (CCT) theory in student engagement was developed and tested with some models,…

Research that employs theory provides a framework and structure in which complex phenomenon, can be understood. While many theories have been developed to study people's technology usage, the plurality of perspectives offered are complex to navigate due to the diverse range of problems and topics addressed and the varied theoretical foundations…

This study contributes to the extant literature on instructional technology by investigating the relationships between the social and personal factors and behavioral intention to use virtual reality. Moreover, the current study examined the links between perceived characteristics of virtual reality and attitude and the moderating role that can be…

This study was intended to examine the progress of the geometric reasoning skills of pre-service mathematics teachers (PSMTs) in the College of Teacher Education, Oromiya, Ethiopia. In the study, there were three different classes: EG1 (n=48), EG2 (n=38), and CG (n=30), where PSMTs in EG1 were treated with technology into guided inquiry-based…
