Synchronous peer feedback activity is a potential but less studied strategy to engage students in technology-enhanced learning environments compared to asynchronous peer feedback activity in which students provide feedback to each other at a different time. This study aims to investigate student engagement and perceptions in a Google…

Virtual reality (VR) applications have displayed remarkable development in the past two decades and have now been used vastly across the world for various educational purposes. The aim of this study was to explore the experience of a three dimensional (3D) desktop VR-based orientation for new online university students. The research study adopted…

This study explores the research trends regarding augmented reality (AR) use in preschool education through a bibliometric mapping analysis. The researchers included 85 publications from Web of Science databases for the analysis. VOSViewer program was utilized to conduct the keyword and term analyses. The keyword analysis' results indicated that…

Pear Deck is an online active learning presentation tool designed to aid teachers in creating impactful lessons. As higher education continues to evolve by implementing various course formats, there is a great need to discover which technology tools have the potential to increase student engagement. In this qualitative study, the authors examine…

This study examined changes in teachers' perceptions of external barriers, internal barriers, and their integration of digital educational resources across two years through variable-centered and person-centered approaches. Participants included 301 in-service middle and high school teachers from 18 schools in the United States. The results of…

This mixed methods study sought to identify how teachers define successful edtech implementation and how their definitions of success vary. We analyzed 825 teacher definitions and identified 28 unique indicators teachers used to define successful edtech implementation that fall into two categories: "conditions" and "outcomes."…

This article reports on the development and initial validation of the Intention to Use Technology-enabled Learning (I-TEL) Scale. Data from 313 preservice teachers were used to examine the instrument's psychometric properties. Principal axis factoring (PAF) indicated a five-factor structure consisting of 22 items. The scale, as well as the…

Robotics activities engage students in critical and computational thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, as well as engineering and computer science. By integrating robotics into disciplinary courses, educators offer these opportunities to a wider range of students. However, teachers may be less likely to use new technology without evidence…

Design thinking has received considerable global attention in the education community given its focus on creative problem solving, human-centered design, and empathetic understanding. In response to the need for exemplary practices for teacher educators, we designed and implemented a design thinking module in a college-level learning technologies…

This study aimed to understand what role teachers consider the immersive virtual field trip (VFT) system to play in primary school classrooms. There were 19 teachers' perceptions of immersive VFTs for educational purposes explored. The interview transcripts were analyzed using the phenomenographic method. The results showed that, for usability…

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is an emerging competence of pre-service science teachers in the 21st education century. In Indonesian context, knowledge about the use of technology to develop teachers is way too limited. Therefore, this study aimed to identify pre-service teacher competencies in integrating technology into…

This article describes the conceptual development of a learning app, "Representations", developed for preschool children (4-5 years of age). In this article we analyze how the app supported the development of logical reasoning via a variety of decoding, encoding, conditionals and debugging activities, which were supported in the game…

Until now, TPACK has mostly been measured by subject-unspecific self-report measures. In contrast, this study introduces and analyzes an objective and biology-specific performance assessment of the four T-dimensions of TPACK. This instrument was used in combination with a biology-specific self-report measure to examine 206 biology teacher students…

For over a decade, we have seen a global shift toward preparing students for the predicted labor market and society through the introduction of digital technology curricula. This scoping review uncovered 26 studies published between 2012 and 2022 that examined empirical research on K-12 or pre-service teachers' experiences with Digital…

This research explored how digital leaders, being teachers responsible for integrating technologies into teaching, envisaged their roles. Bottom-up content analysis of metaphors from 55 digital leaders revealed a typology describing them as change agents across three 'extent' and two 'depth' dimensions. Most leaders described "the extent of…
