The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational setting is rapidly growing. The huge impact of AI in education draws attention of school stakeholders to start incorporating AI in teaching and learning. AI in school curriculum is increasingly getting significant. The study aimed to understand factors influencing the incorporation of…

In this study, we have examined gender differences in the way students relate to information and communication technologies (ICT), to learn more about their perceptions of gender-based stereotypes in this area. This study is based on the results of the 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS), specifically regarding…

Virtual reality is a rapidly growing technological innovation that continues to garner attention for use in education. This self-study of two teacher educators spans immersive head-mounted virtual reality implementation from 2014-2023 with middle-grades students, preservice teachers, and adult learners. Empirical data sources include learner…

This mixed-methods study explored the impact of cinematic virtual reality (CVR) on seventh-grade students (n = 66) in a school library. The research was comprised of two phases, integrating data from questionnaires and student/teacher interviews. The study focused on "The Displaced," a documentary about child refugees, presented in two…

This case study using collaborative autoethnographic methods explores the experiences of two K12 practitioners as they implemented, and continue to implement, human performance improvement (HPI) in their professional practice. The connection between HPI and instructional design and technology is well documented, but there is not much empirical…

This article investigates an artificial intelligence language model, ChatGPT, and its ability to complete graduate-level instructional design assignments. The approach subjected ChatGPT to a needs, task, and learner analysis for a 12th-grade media literacy module and benchmarked its performance by expert evaluation and measurements via grading…

Digital technologies and the instructional contexts in which they are embedded can increase students' access to meaningful learning opportunities. Although there is a tradition of designing and integrating digital tools in secondary-grades project-based science instruction to enhance learners' access to disciplinary learning, the elementary grades…

Video can be a powerful tool, with a long history of use in teacher education. Despite the increased popularity of using video in teacher education over the years, questions remain about effective ways to create and use video in online video-based instructional modules. Given this, in this paper we describe some lessons learned creating videos for…

Launched in November of 2022, the generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT garnered immediate societal interest and adoption as its advanced large language modeling proved capable of producing sophisticated, human-like responses to user-generated prompts. In this preliminary study, K-12 teachers in the United States were surveyed on their…

The primary focus of our project is to create STEM-based learning opportunities for secondary students (grades 6-12) through the out-of-school space that aligns with the workforce needs of two critical STEM-related sectors: National Security and Defense, and Advanced. Manufacturing (ROI, 2017). In this learning environment, students will encounter…

This discussion paper demonstrates the need for applying backwards design principles to already-existing course syllabi in order to embed technology alongside pedagogy in teacher preparation programs. The problem is first addressed as a need to integrate technology in one secondary course based on lack of proficiency demonstrated on multiple…

How can teachers be inspired to integrate technology properly into their teaching? As technology has been playing a more crucial role in classrooms, it is highly necessary to investigate how teachers perceive the benefit of technology and feel confident to use it. The present study focused on teachers' self-efficacy and belief regarding mobile…

There has been a limited amount of research that has attempted to determine teaching strategies using adaptive learning systems. Most studies have attempted to measure success of the use of these technologies based on improvements in students' test scores but have lacked to provide any information regarding the pedagogy implemented while using the…

For P-12 teachers to effectively learn a technology, they must manage the cognitive load inherent to this learning task. However, technology adoption research has not investigated effects of cognitive load on teachers' experiences with learning technology or their technology adoption decisions. Hence, an instrument measuring cognitive load…

Although digital personalized learning (DPL) is assumed to be beneficial for the student as well as the teacher, the implementation process of DPL tools can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of our study is to scrutinize teachers' perceptions towards the implementation of DPL in the classroom. A total of 370 teachers from primary and secondary…
