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…

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…

Teacher technology integration is an evolutionary process, and its relation with various personal and contextual variables may change over time. This study collected questionnaire responses from 429 Chinese K-12 teachers at two time points, and examined how the associations of technology-related beliefs, pedagogical practices and perceived…

One-to-one devices provide the opportunity to develop 21st century skills, improve academic learning, access information, and increase student independence. Prior to the one-to-one initiative, device use among the teachers of students with dyslexia had included low-level integration. The administration at this site made the decision to implement a…

In the 21st century, teaching and learning mathematics courses witness significant expansion and development of technology use, which creates a shift from teacher-centred to student-centred learning engagement. Student engagement (SE) faces many challenges of poor performance and student difficulty in solving simultaneous equations involving…

This study reports on teachers' perspectives of the drivers and constraints of ICT integration into Mathematics Education in 50 private secondary schools in five cities in the Niger Delta region. The study employed a descriptive survey design to obtain the data. The sample or respondents for the study were two hundred mathematics teachers who were…

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has undoubtedly forms an important channel for improving student learning through continuous access to information and knowledge development. Evidence suggests that teachers in rural secondary schools are still unclear about how to use technology appropriately to facilitate particular approaches to…

Literature has documented the benefits of problem-based learning (PBL), but also shown significant barriers to using PBL in K-12 education. Yet, the research describing why and how K-12 teachers implement PBL is insufficient. In this qualitative study, using semi-structured interviews, we investigate why 25 middle school teachers chose to…

This study investigates associations between mathematics pedagogy and teachers' integration of Information Communication Technologies (ICT). As an early adopter of presentation-oriented hardware and software in mathematics classrooms, England represents a critical case for investigating associations between mathematics pedagogy and teachers'…

This sequential explanatory design aims at exploring science teachers' perceptions of technology integration regarding technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) which focused on quantitative findings (survey) supported by qualitative findings (interview). The study involved 356 respondents for the survey and eight participants for the…

The twenty-first century has witnessed a call for teachers to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into teaching and learning. However, creating a classroom environment that engages in active learning has proved to be a hurdle to South African teachers, as more traditional teaching methods continue to be utilised in teaching.…

Learner-centered technology integration is a challenging task for many teachers. In an attempt to support science teachers' learner-centered technology integration efforts, this study developed a situated mentoring program and examined its impact on teachers' attitudes, technology integration practices, and perceived barriers. Further, the study…

A crucial step in improving the use of digital technology (DT) for learning mathematical concepts in the classroom appears to be increasing teacher involvement in task development. Hence, this research considered the effect of a professional development (PD) programme designed to assist teachers with DT task production for implementation in their…
