Covid-19 has accelerated the speed of technocratic transformation in teaching and learning. Previous researches on whether technology enhances students' motivation towards learning or burdens them with additional layer of anxiety in learning the nitty gritty of technology itself have mixed results. The purpose of this study was to explore early…

Teachers' technological experiences are constrained by limitations in reflective decision-making and theoretical frameworks. Challenges with the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPACK) are often associated with deficits in self-regulation. To effectively develop TPACK, it is recommended that educators focus on enhancing…

This cross-sectional survey research explores 249 preservice English teachers' (PSETs) conceptions of their lived synchronous and asynchronous distance education (DE) experiences and if their preferences for the mode of education in the program change significantly according to their year of study.
