Teacher education programs have a responsibility to prepare preservice teachers for the demands of teaching, including how to integrate educational technology into lessons. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods approach study is to understand the relationship between preservice teachers' self-efficacy for technology integration…

The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…

Purpose: Challenges of conducting site visit activities, a vital component of architecture learning during the recent pandemic have proved our unreadiness in facing the digital future. The lack of understanding of learning technology has affected the education experience. Thus, there is a need to investigate immersive learning technology such as…

Technology-infused classrooms sometimes feel like tech-support sessions, where students struggle to learn platform interfaces during their process of content creation. Especially in courses where technology is the medium, not the subject matter, time and attention directed toward troubleshooting can feel like distractions from the "real"…

Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) are technologies that allow users to interact with virtual environments and can create and participate in digital educational experiences and simulations. Due to the VR and VLEs being relatively new technologies in education, acceptance, use, and finally adoption in a classroom…

This nonexperimental predictive correlational research study examined the impact of ongoing professional development, hands-on training, practical scenario-based learning, post-training support materials, and one-on-one coaching on educators' ability to adopt, maintain competency, and effectively use digital tools. The study analyzed the…

Owing to the predominant role of Machine Learning(ML) across domains, it is being introduced at multiple levels of education, including K-12. Researchers have leveraged games, augmented reality and other ways to make learning ML concepts interesting. However, most of the existing games to teach ML concepts either focus on use-cases and…

While COVID-19 dramatically changed the way that we taught during the pandemic, not all of these changes were negative. In response to the pivot to remote learning, Western University employed student digital media interns (DMIs) to support faculty in adapting their courses. This resulted in the formation of the Digital Media Intern program at the…

In today's world, technology plays a significant role in shaping our daily interactions and how we connect with the world. The rapid advancements in technology have influenced many sectors, particularly education, where integrating technology is now seen as essential rather than just a luxury. As a result, the education field has adapted over time…

In vocational education, cultivating students' ability to deal with real cases is a crucial training objective. The BSFE (i.e., Brainstorming, Screening, Formation, Examination) model is a commonly adopted training procedure. Each stage is designed for guiding students to analyze and find solutions to handle real cases. However, as one teacher is…

Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn and educate, enhancing and supplementing the traditional learning experience by providing new ways to interact with information and people. However, its full potential in education has yet to be fully realized, as work in this space requires resolving cutting-edge technical…

For many academic programs, achieving authentic learning environments is difficult because existing learning activities are often structured around artificial contexts and presented in ways that fail to connect with the students in ways that they perceive have value in their lives (Luo, Murray, & Crompton, 2017). As a result, these inauthentic…

This study aims to explore how the Metaverse platform could be applied to the field of online education, the benefits it brings, and the challenges posed by the application of Metaverse to online education. The study analyzes the benefits of immersive learning brought about by Metaverse and its potential to save education costs, enhance efficiency…

Virtual reality (VR) provides significant opportunities for students to experience immersive education. In VR, students can travel to the international space station, or go through a science experiment at home. However, the current tactile feedback provided by these systems do not feel real. Controllers do not provide the same tactile feedback…

Experiential learning through active exploration can play a vital role in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills in engineering education. However, the complex nature of the construction industry in the 21st century cannot afford an education through trial and error in a real environment. This case study aims to promote…
