In the aftermath of COVID-19 school closures, parents, educational technology, and other home factors have played an increasing role in student support and success. As part of a larger evaluation study on the equity and impacts of the nation's largest community broadband initiative, this paper investigates the relationship between access, beliefs,…

Teaching and learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic were largely ineffective, and exacerbated existing learning disparities (Dorn et al., 2020; Muscoviz & Evans, 2022). Instructional technologies were a significant component of these teaching and learning activities. Because K-12 teachers' internal beliefs are a significant predictor…

This study examines 105 pre-service and in-service teachers' perceptions of the importance and helpfulness of digital technologies for their learning and their teaching as well as their perceived competence and level of interest in digital technologies. The descriptive statistics from an online survey show that all respondents (n = 105) found…

The transition to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic uncovered criticalities in the participation of students with special educational needs. The BESt-DaD project responded to these difficulties by developing a user-friendly online platform aimed at accommodating these students' neurocognitive profiles, ultimately promoting inclusion.…

The purpose of this study was to examine how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) integrated a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) into their reasoning process while solving geometric locus problems. Task-based interviews based on the locus problems were conducted with eight PMTs working in pairs. The PMTs could use a computer with access to…

This paper describes a French research project to co-design an early literacy/early numeracy tablet app for kindergarten students. In order to create an app that takes into account classroom/teaching constraints and the results of recent research, we adopted a theoretical co-design framework and followed a methodology involving researchers,…

Digital training plays a major role in the initial training for preschool, primary, and high school teachers in Québec, Canada. Since the mastery of information and communications technology (ICT) is prescriptive, measures have been implemented in university teacher training programs to ensure its development. Nevertheless, after this training,…

This study explored whether the computational thinking skills of early elementary-aged students be positively impacted by participation in a robotics-based, classroom intervention. Action research was used to examine the impact of a multifaceted, constructionist, robotics-based intervention on 37 second and third grade students at an elementary…

The present study examined how the type of school technology and teachers' technological experiences (either personal or pedagogical) were related to teacher perceptions of culturally responsive teaching in technology-supported learning environments. Additionally, the study assessed the moderating effects of school technology interactivity on the…

Studies have shown that when mathematics teachers integrate technology in their classrooms, the applications tend to be routine rather than transformational. Since limited research has been undertaken on integrating technology in teaching mathematics in developing countries, this study investigates which technologies South African teachers are…

This research explored teacher in-school educational technology use for middle grades instruction. A quantitative investigation examined adoption of technology, sources of acquired skills, use frequencies, perceived effectiveness, and barriers to integration. A total of 796 participants employed across a Mid-Atlantic state from various demographic…

This is a small-scale qualitative participatory research study conducted in two large primary schools in Ireland with classes for autistic students. The paper reports how a menu of immersive technology learning experiences was thoughtfully designed and employed with autistic children who were communicating through their behavior an aversion to the…

The use of online literacy applications is proliferating in elementary classrooms. Using data generated by these applications is assumed to be helpful for teachers to identify struggling readers. Unfortunately, many teachers are unsure how to use and interpret the plethora of data from these apps. In this longitudinal study, we followed a cohort…

This research reports empirical evidence of the pedagogical benefits of using two interactive types of immersive spherical dome screens (large and small). Results are drawn from an experiment measuring the emotional, cognitive, perceptual/attitudinal states, and learning outcomes of 102 participants divided into control/experimental groups and…

The learning process of constructing concepts in mathematics can be supported by visualization in graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations. However, previous research suggests that students have not fully taken advantage of the opportunities provided by these technologies. Two key factors, including mathematics conception and mathematics…
