The aim of this study is to examine middle school students' perceptions of information technology self-efficacy and their attitudes towards coding according to various variables and to determine the difference between secondary school students' perceptions of information technology self-efficacy and their attitudes towards coding. The study was…

The aim of this study is to clarify the mediating role of attitudes towards digital technology in the relationship between digital citizenship in social studies class and motivation, and to provide an important perspective for educators. The research was conducted using a correlational survey model to reveal the relationships between digital…

The objective of this study is to compare the levels of acceptance of occupational technology among police officers and middle school teachers in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. Analyses based on the UTAUT2 model evaluated the impact of demographic variables, including gender, occupation, age, and tenure, on technology acceptance processes.…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the experiences of middle school teachers in one Southern California middle school district when using technology, as part of the 1:1 Technology Initiative, to advance student learning and provide effective lesson delivery in the classroom. The literature review indicated a need for…

This study uses an experimental comparative design to accomplish two primary goals related teachers' perceptions of automated writing evaluation (AWE) performance. First, it quantitatively and qualitatively examines teachers' perceptions of the accuracy and trustworthiness of differentially performing AWE models. Second, it synthesizes interview…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to understand how K-8 teachers in Nevada describe computational concepts, practices, and perspectives preparation in making them ready to teach computer science. Brennan and Resnick's computational thinking served as the theoretical framework for this study. Four research questions guided this…

The microscopic composition of substances is a piece of essential but abstract knowledge in chemistry. Junior high school students may experience difficulty in mental representation when learning micro concepts, which leads to problems such as unsatisfactory academic performance and low learning motivation. Augmented reality (AR) is an optimal…

During the school closures associated with COVID-19, researchers found student engagement decreased, partially due to the concurrent increase in the number of adolescents diagnosed with problematic internet use and internet addiction. At the time of this study, there was limited research related to student engagement after students returned to…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deeply integrated into human society. In the future, human collaboration with AI is inevitable. Therefore, exploring the attitudes of future workers--represented by current K-12 children--towards AI has become crucial. Robots stand as typical representatives of AI. Robot programming education is an important…

Computationally intensive science (CIS)-related disciplines and careers are predicted to be among the cutting-edge fields and high-demand jobs. Such disciplines and careers demand expertise in both traditional scientific knowledge and computer science (CS)-related understanding and skills. Preparing educational systems for developing interest and…

This study used the Technology Use and Perceptions Survey to explore whether there are differences reported by teachers (N = 1,287) from elementary, middle, and high schools from a single school district. A two-step data analysis process using multivariate analysis of variance and item-by-item analysis of variance was employed. We used our…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is an approach that develops 21st century skills such as career choice in science and engineering, entrepreneurship, innovation, creative and critical thinking. The acronym STEM stands for the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. When looking from the…

The purpose of this study was to deploy digital technology in ways that would help mathematics teachers in a remote rural Taiwanese middle school construct a differentiated classroom aligned with students' needs. We attempted to develop seventh-grade mathematics course modules that could meet quality educational requirements and equal…

Background: In recent years, computer science education has emerged as a necessary part of school curricula for students of all ages. With such momentum in this direction, it is essential that program designers, educators, and researchers ensure that computer science education is designed to be inclusive, effective, and engaging for all students.…

This study utilized the Simple View of Reading (SVR) model cognitive subtypes to determine the impact of text-to-speech (TTS) software on the reading comprehension of 94 grade 8 students with reading difficulties. Method: paired samples t tests for all four SVR groups were conducted to examine reading comprehension scores under TTS and no-TTS…
