But implementing activities and assessments to support this skill development can be challenging in higher education large-enrollment classes where the balance between the extra work it creates for faculty and perceived value for students must be carefully…

This research will be carried out at the basic physics laboratory of the physics education study program, Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The long-term goal of this research is to produce a prototype model of basic physics practicum based on the virtual android observatory to facilitate the ICT literacy skills of prospective physics teachers.…

The learning and education crises in developing countries are often linked to diverse factors, including low teacher presence in schools, teachers' absenteeism, low utilisation of their skills, and available resources for teaching. We ask whether improving teachers' accountability in Nigeria might yield important learning gains for vulnerable…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is enhancing the potential of the teaching and learning process, fostering academic achievement, and bringing innovation. Studies on AI have yet to discuss widely the quantitative implications in educational institutions. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the implications and perceived…

Engaging a large cohort of students with teaching content is a difficult task for any educator working in higher education. When students are not receiving feedback about their participation efforts, this can lead to decreased engagement. Polling activities, such as hands up responses, can be used to address this but students cannot respond…

With the rapid advances in technology (e.g., the internet, hardware, and software), technology-supported learning environments have widely emerged in K-16 learning and instruction. A survey found that 73% of teachers had their students use smartphones to conduct internet searches, and almost half of students reported using e-readers and tablets to…

The integration of machine translation (MT) and artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced the precision of MT systems producing translations that rival the quality of skilled human translators. This innovation has broadened the applicability of AI-enabled MT systems attracting users for a variety of purposes. This paper explores the…

Until now, TPACK has mostly been measured by subject-unspecific self-report measures. In contrast, this study introduces and analyzes an objective and biology-specific performance assessment of the four T-dimensions of TPACK. This instrument was used in combination with a biology-specific self-report measure to examine 206 biology teacher students…

Digital transformation in higher education, especially after COVID-19, is seen as inevitable. This research explores digital transformation's maturity and challenges within the education enterprise. The significance of this study stems from the critical role digital transformation and higher education play in today's digital economy, and digital…

Quantitative studies on technology integration often examined general quantity of classroom technology use or teacher-reported accounts of integration practices. There is a current need for a measurement tool that links students' technology use and cognitive engagement, which will allow researchers to better illustrate how technology is woven into…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in professional development (PD) opportunities afforded to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers based on years of teaching experience related to foreign language teaching. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in seven primary schools with 60 primary EFL…

This research explored how digital leaders, being teachers responsible for integrating technologies into teaching, envisaged their roles. Bottom-up content analysis of metaphors from 55 digital leaders revealed a typology describing them as change agents across three 'extent' and two 'depth' dimensions. Most leaders described "the extent of…

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of using Web 2.0 tools in accordance with the 5E learning model on the academic success and views of students in teaching the Pressure unit to eighth-grade students in distance education. A total of 41 students, 21 of whom are in the experiment group and 20 of them are in the control group,…

Universities around the world are increasingly digitalising all of their operations, with the current COVID-19 pandemic speeding up otherwise steady developments. This article focuses on the political economy of higher education (HE) digitalisation and suggests a new research programme. I foreground three principal arguments, which are…
