Digital technologies have facilitated access to instructional multimedia materials, and a large body of literature has shown that these technologies can support students' learning. However, recent research also shows that many teachers have misconceptions about learning from multimedia materials. Further, numerous studies point out that numerous…

Technological advancements have led to the emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Students' readiness to use 4IR technologies is thus essential for the development of knowledgeable, competent, and skilled graduates. However, ensuring students' readiness to use 4IR technologies is quite challenging, leading to a need to understand the…

With growing expectations to use AI-based educational technology (AI-EdTech) to improve students' learning outcomes and enrich teaching practice, teachers play a central role in the adoption of AI-EdTech in classrooms. Teachers' willingness to accept vulnerability by integrating technology into their everyday teaching practice, that is, their…

This study aims at examining the relationship between teacher computer-mediated communication (CMC) competence and teacher attitude toward using Frog VLE, a virtual learning platform. This is a non-experimental research using a cross-sectional survey technique through the administration of a set of questionnaires that comprised teacher demographic…

The aim of the study is to determine the level of parents' attitudes towards their children's use of information and communication technologies and to obtain parental views on the use of technology. To this end, the study was carried out with parents whose children were studying at primary and secondary school levels. Data were collected from 417…

Technology has the potential to enhance learning; however, generic technocentric strategies in schools have exacerbated barriers to technology integration in the classroom. Teachers are key to successful technology integration in schools. Factors such as subject culture and pedagogy will affect teachers' willingness and ability to adopt technology…

The impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) is increasing in teaching, and practice shows that there is a need for individual work in the educational process. This paper gives an analysis of the attitudes of teachers about the use of ICT as a means for individualizing teaching in regular and special primary schools. The results…

In three experiments, learners used computerized learning material, which consisted of static pictures and on-screen text relating to the physiology of vision in one of two formats. The formats differed in method of access to text. Accessing text by clicking on picture components was hypothesized to produce superior learning to linear access…

High dropout rates are still a problem with online training. It is strongly suggested that learner characteristics influence the decision to persist in an online course or to drop out. The study explored the differences in domain-specific prior knowledge, motivation, computer attitude, computer anxiety, and learning skills between dropouts and…

This study examines the extent to which kindergarten teachers' attitudes towards the ICT affects their skills and as a result the level of assimilating ICT in their teaching. The study involved 141 teachers, who responded to anonymous self-reporting online questionnaires. The path analysis test (SEM) results indicate that the attitudes of the…

Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with students and technologies. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. The use of ICT has fundamentally changed the…

Recent developments in mobile and wireless communication technologies have played a vital role in building the u-learning environment that now combines both real-world and digital learning resources. However, learners still require assistance to control real objects and manage the abundance of available materials; otherwise, their mental workload…

The past few decades have witnessed the rapid development of information and communication technology around the world, as well as continuing efforts to introduce technology into K12 schools. To gauge the success of integrating technology into classrooms, how end users, including teachers and students, accept and use technology while overcoming a…

The aim of the present study was: (a) the creation of an Online Learning Community (OLC) for the implementation of an environmental education (EE) project in secondary education, and (b) the investigation of the potential impact of student participation in the OLC on students' knowledge and attitudes regarding the natural environment, on students'…

The current generation of young children has been described as "digital natives", having been born into a ubiquitous digital media environment. They are envisaged as educationally independent of the guided interaction provided by "digital immigrants": parents and teachers. This article uses data from the Longitudinal Study of…
