This study developed a Learning Materials Repository Hub (LMRH) to digitize educational resources for the K-12 education system, addressing the need for centralized, high-quality, and accessible learning materials. Using a developmental research approach, Graduate School students created Digitized Learning Materials (DLMs) aligned with the Most…

Aim/Purpose: This study collects empirical evidence to investigate the extent to which high school teachers adopted the tablet computer in their instruction within the context of the Tablet Project in Kuwait and explores what drove their adoption behavior. Background: The role of information technology in education is prominent and takes different…

MOTIVATIC WEB is a software platform in which teachers can co-design activities for their students using three different gamified mechanics. This article presents the results of the technology acceptance evaluation by users. The evaluation considered aspects related to perceived usefulness (PU) and ease of use, behavioural intention to use, and…

This study examined the role that planning time plays in teachers' adoption of 1:1 computing for individualized instruction. In particular, the research explored whether the availability of time to plan for 1:1 computing served as an external variable as described by Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw (1989) in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The…

The problem motivating this research is the rapid introduction of educational technologies and the strong push to use new technologies in technical and vocational training in China coupled with varied responses and uneven adoption of new tools on the part of practitioners. This study investigated the factors that influence technical and vocational…

Background: Interactive whiteboard (IWB) is an important tool in computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Interactive whiteboard is an electronic instructional and interactive technology designed by use for teachers. Some studies declare that teachers' behaviors in using interactive whiteboard only be infected by perceived usefulness, for teachers are…

Computer technology (CT) for student use is a popular avenue for school districts to pursue in their goal to attain higher academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of iPads in a one-to-one setting, where every student has his own device 24/7, to determine the effects, if any, on academic achievement in the areas of…

In the debate on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into schools, the beliefs and attitudes of teachers towards ICT in teaching and learning have always been regarded as central criteria for successful implementation of new technologies. In this context, a study in 2013 by the International Association for the…

The study examines the factors affecting Greek pre-service teachers' intention to use computers when they become practicing teachers. Four variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, self-efficacy, and attitude toward use) as well as behavioral intention to use computers were used so as to build a research model that extended the…

ICT rollouts are no longer discretionary: they have become a mandatory function of effective educational institutions. This study examines the rollout of tablet technology at a public, four-year university with particular attention to variations within the student population and the student voice. The research questions included: Do expectations…

Given the importance of teacher in the implementation of computer technology in classrooms, the technology acceptance model and TPACK model were used to better understand the decision-making process teachers use in determining how, when, and where computer software is used in mathematics classrooms. Thirty-four (34) teachers implementing…

This exploratory study examined the design issues related to a virtual-reality-based, gamelike learning environment (VRGLE) developed via OpenSimulator, an open-source virtual reality server. The researchers collected qualitative data to examine the VRGLE's usability, playability, and content integration for math learning. They found it important…

The paper reports findings of a study which sought to examine the pedagogical factors that affect the integration of computers in mathematics instruction as perceived by teachers in secondary schools in Kenya. This study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A descriptive survey design was used for this study. Stratified and simple…

This article discusses the planning and initial research behind the design of an online support community for pre-service teachers. This community is initially being designed to support pre-service teachers with their technology integration efforts during their student teaching experiences, but may also grow to serve special teaching cohorts in…

This study sets out to validate and test the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of Malaysian student teachers' integration of their technology in teaching and learning. To establish factorial validity, data collected from 302 respondents were tested against the TAM using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation…
