We study the interactions over 22 years between one mathematics teacher and his resources for teaching, especially digital ones, with a dual focus on the teacher's documentational and identity trajectories and professional development. We combined a theoretical framework on teachers' work with resources--documentational approach to didactics…

As our literate society becomes aware of the gaps between education and educational achievement, teachers of reading must deliver a superior reading program. To sharpen their skills, teachers of reading must research and educate themselves on essential reading instruction components, useful professional development, the characteristics that define…

COVID-19 caused a worldwide education crisis. Schools were forced to close, teachers and parents had little time to prepare, and students were required to learn from home. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' perceptions of usefulness and ease of use in adopting technology in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and what support or…

This formative paper reviews the recent expansion in online teacher education programmes for "Education for Sustainable Development" (ESD) in southern Africa. The research informs the design of resource-based learning. An activity systems approach and a preliminary mapping of the design features for online learning for ESD enabled us to…

While numerous studies have investigated teachers' professional learning through their interaction with resources, the question of how teachers' knowledge evolves at different stages of the instructional process remains underexplored. To address this gap, this article builds on the documentational approach to didactics (DAD) and the theory of…

Information technology enhances the nature of mathematics as an empirical discipline, leading to an approach called "experimental mathematics" (EM). It fosters the use of technology-based interactive resources (IRs) in mathematics education, giving mathematics an experimental dimension and reflecting a tension between the…

The shutdowns of the COVID-19 global pandemic offered academic institutions a world-wide experiment in online learning, whether they or their faculty were prepared to do so. This study investigated the influence of training and resources on faculty perceived self-efficacy to design online courses. To investigate this phenomenon, faculty…

Mixed-reality simulation (MRS) is an innovative and promising approach in teacher preparation programs. While the use of MRS as a practice-based learning opportunity (PLO) in special education teacher preparation and professional development continues to grow, integrating this novel technology can be daunting for faculty members and school…

The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc throughout school systems across the world during the 2020-2021 school year. Riyadh School District in Saudi Arabia effectively transitioned from in-person student learning to remote student learning as a result of effective planning of resources and effective processes for implementation of remote learning.…

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…

The use of increasingly popularized information technology to improve education poverty and then promote the balanced development of education has become the development trend of world education. On the road to poverty alleviation, China has firmly grasped information technology to encourage school reform in areas with scarce educational…

Digital media and advancements in learning technologies have dramatically reshaped the landscape of K-12 education. By 2018, 96% of public schools had the infrastructure required for digital learning. This dissertation evaluates how augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are integrated into K-12 education, focusing on…

The global pandemic highlighted the need for diverse faculty development partners to ensure student and faculty learning was supported, particularly in intensive modes of educational delivery. Our paper presents an institutional case study of how educational technology, in collaboration with the Center for Teaching and Learning and subject matter…

This article will discuss how open educational resources and instructional technology are used to support student academic success and continuous faculty pedagogical development, as well as reduce barriers to access at an R1 university. This article uses case examples from two instructors from a Mathematics and Computational Sciences department…

This report summarises the findings of the 2022 EUA Thematic Peer Group which explored collaborative teaching practice (CTP) in higher education in detail. Based on a shared understanding of the theme agreed on by the group members, it outlines the key opportunities and potential challenges higher education institutions face in embedding CTP and…
