Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to enhance visual cognition through virtual object experimentation and practice, while also fostering spatial skills relevant to mathematics. This experimental study was conducted with 86 sixth graders in Eastern China, involving a 3-month AR integrated Mathematics Curriculum (ARiMC), with pre- and…

This study aims to investigate gender and regional differences in technological pedagogical readiness (TPR) among primary mathematics teachers in China during the post-pandemic era. Utilizing a web-based questionnaire, data were collected from 601 teachers across six provinces, representing eastern and western regions. The TPR scale, encompassing…

There has been a global consensus to develop computational thinking (CT) in primary education, but the biggest obstacle to promoting CT is teachers' lack of sufficient CT. This study explored the effects of micro: bit educational robotics (MER) programming activities on primary teachers' CT and programming attitudes (PA) while considering the…

To explore the influencing factors of college students' learning intention to online teaching videos during the pandemic, this study considered 696 college students from Huangshan University in China. The T-test and ANOVA were utilized to analyze gender, grade, and discipline on college students' learning intention, and the regression analysis was…

This study investigates disparities in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and attitudes towards digital technology integration among primary mathematics teachers in urban and rural China. In response to the post-pandemic era's rapid technological advances, this research highlights the digital divide in primary education. A survey…

Blended teaching (BT) in pre-service teacher (PST) education has significantly increased, particularly owing to the impact of COVID-19. However, there is limited literature on how pre-service teachers (PSTs) adjust to this mode of teaching. This study provides new longitudinal evidence on the adaptability of PSTs (n = 1285) and its predictors,…

Purpose: Virtual reality (VR) technologies have expanded their application domains towards education with pedagogical benefits including fully immersive learning environment and in-depth user engagement through scenario-based virtual simulations. Motion sickness (MS), however, has become one of the long-standing key challenges of the VR…

Computational Thinking (CT) is essential for developing creativity, problem-solving, and digital competence in the 21st century. Coding tools like robotic toys and tablet apps have become popular in early childhood education to support CT development, but there is a debate on which tool is more effective. Little evidence exists on the effect of…

Background: Researchers have acknowledged that examining ICT in relation to disciplinary learning outcomes could offer a promising, synergistic research path forward. A number of empirical studies have been done to determine the relationship between ICT-related variables and students' science achievement. However, the mechanism of the…

With the proliferation of technology and the Internet, the way education is delivered has undergone a rapid change in different educational settings. Whilst a large amount of research has investigated the implementation of mobile technologies in education, there is still a paucity of research from a teaching perspective across disciplines within…

Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and supplemented by social cognitive theory and gender schema theory, this study investigated the interactive mechanism of TAM by incorporating self-efficacy and gender as two factors in students' usage of sports bracelets. Data were collected from 682 Chinese college freshmen. Results indicated that…

The current research aims to address the concern of high attrition rate in MOOCs via exploring factors underlying learners' acceptance of MOOCs. Despite the plethora of studies on technology acceptance, few have discussed the role of time in technology acceptance. Given that time was reported as an important factor influencing learners' decision…

Background: Virtual reality technologies (VRTs) present many characteristics that can facilitate learning, especially in individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). The VRT head-mounted display (HMD) has recently shown significant technological improvement. This study aims to prove the suitability of the newer commercially available VRT HMDs…

Learning power has become a significant impacting factor on learning quality in digital age. This study is a survey at a university in China, using a questionnaire with seven evaluation indicators integrated into learning dimensions, to assess college students' digital learning power (DLP). The main findings are as follows. College students have…

Grounded in the expectation-confirmation theory and the D&M Information Success Model, this study investigates the factors influencing college students' continuance intention to use mobile learning from three perspectives: educational institutions, instructors, and learners. About 421 college students were randomly selected to participate in a…
