Programming is becoming a key subject in early education globally, with surging problems of how computer science can become a subject for children of all ages and backgrounds. Problems of implementing new technologies in the old curricula have long been noted, and lately, concern over computer science education goals is often too narrow and…

Introduction: Recent advancements in generative AI (GAI) platforms appear to mark an abrupt shift in higher education. Statement of the Problem: Instructors have a responsibility to teach students to use GAI, which is a promising tool for promoting personalized, student-centered, process-focused learning environments. Literature Review: Drawing on…

Background: In taking up educational technology tools and student-centered instructional practice, there is consensus that instructors consider the unique aspects of their instructional context. However, tool adoption success is often framed narrowly by numerical uptake rates or by conformity with non-negotiable components. Purpose: We pursue an…

This article examines the significance of professional development (PD) in shaping the beliefs undergirding teachers' classroom practices specifically learner-centred and teacher-centred beliefs, ICT beliefs and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It highlights key considerations for designing and implementing PD grounded in…

This study explores the transformative impact of online course teaching platforms on modern education. Highlighting the limitations of traditional teaching methods in terms of time and space, the paper demonstrates how online platforms liberate learning from these constraints, enabling flexible, student-centered education. Additionally, it…

The emergence of immersive VR technology in K-12 educational spaces has created a need for research examining the affordances and constraints of this technology for student learning. The current study uses a case-study methodology to illustrate K-12 secondary science teachers' perceived affordances and constraints of using immersive VR tools to…

This mixed-methods study compares how secondary teachers implemented Education Reform in China in 2012 and 2022. The survey asked how often a teaching or evaluation strategy was used. The conclusions indicate that even though teacher-directed lessons (teacher talk, individual work, and questioning) still dominated, subject teachers were using a…

Technology is undoubtedly a foundational asset for higher education providers, but for many leaders in the sector it remains something of a black box. This collection of essays brings together leading EdTech voices to explain how technology is already improving higher education and how much more it could potentially do to transform the student…

Mobile devices are ubiquitous, but their potential for adaptive educational interventions remains largely untapped. We identify three key promises of mobile interventions for educational research and practice: 1) intervening when it is most beneficial (i.e., "just-in-time adaptivity"), 2) estimating causal effects of interventions in…

This qualitative descriptive study explored how teachers perceive the significance of their leadership and digital pedagogy in fostering students' self-directed learning skills in a digital learning environment. Grounded in transformational leadership theory, Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory and ISTE standards, the study answered three…

Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, people have distances among each other, and this situation has affected everything. Education, which has been the most important thing for humanity since the beginning of history, has also been affected. To continue and survive the system, people started using and adapting different distance learning with…

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered K-12 education, compelling physical education (PE) instructors to adapt swiftly to remote teaching. This dissertation explores the integration of instructional technology among Missouri PE teachers, analyzing practices before, during, and after the pandemic. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, the…

The purpose of this qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological study was to understand the lived experiences of teachers in kindergarten through first grade utilizing digital technologies to engage elementary students during mathematics instruction. This phenomenological study was guided by the following research questions. (1) How do elementary…

In response to evolving engineering education, there is a growing focus on fostering students' practical skills. This study implemented a Mini Project Based Learning (MPBL) approach within the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course. The tasks involved SOLIDWORKS modelling, writing CNC code using CADEM seeNC Turn software, and hands-on CNC…

This study examines the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with transactional strategies in education, focusing on digital storytelling as a teaching tool. It explores how these methods enhance student engagement, creativity, and understanding. ICT supports interactive, student-centred learning, while transactional…
