Despite the promising advantages of cutting-edge technologies like virtual laboratories (VL) for enhancing science education, a significant gap remains between their theoretical benefits and practical application, particularly in rural schools in the Global South. This article argues that the effective integration of VL is largely dependent on…

This case study aims at ensuring preservice science teachers to acquire experience by creating paper-based mind maps (PB-MM) and digital mind maps (D-MM) in technology education and to reveal their opinions on these mind mapping techniques. A total of 32 preservice science teachers, enrolled in the undergraduate program of Science Teaching at a…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a transdisciplinary approach. It aims to bring 21st-century skills to students. It is important whether teachers, who have an important place in the development of students, have knowledge that will affect students' STEM teaching. This study aims to examine the basic knowledge level of…

Ample research exists on barriers to the use of computers as a form of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching. The most common barrier reported to prevent teachers from using computers in teaching is the lack of resources. However when resources are available, ICTs are still often not effectively integrated into teaching.…

The use of information communication technologies (ICTs) tools for eLearning has immense prospects in teaching and learning especially in the Sciences. Despite the Fiji governments' focus and efforts towards introduction of ICTs in school, not all science teachers seem to make use of ICTs. This study investigated how well-grounded these science…

This study seeks to evaluate the use of social media in education by the science teachers in terms of its impact upon students, parents, and colleagues, relying on the method of special case study, employed in qualitative research. The data includes findings compiled through semi-structured interviews held with the participation of seven science…

This study aims to analyse the correlations between chemistry teachers' sense of efficacy and their technological pedagogical content knowledge in context (TPCKCx). For this purpose, 201 chemistry teachers were included in the study on the basis of volunteering. A total of 121 of the participants were female chemistry teachers and 80 of them were…

Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the aims of the present cross-sectional study were i) to investigate acceptance by teachers of an open-source, collaborative, free m-learning app, named "Artefac," ii) to examine whether teachers' self-approach goals (i.e., the motivation to teach more effectively than before) may be a…

In this research the effects of STEM applications, which are aimed to support the integrated teaching knowledge of pre-service science teachers on the problem solving skills of pre-service science teachers were examined. The research was carried out in scope of the mixed method design of convergent parallel design. The research was conducted with…

The main aim of the research was to identify the attitude of pre-service and in-service Biology teachers towards the use of the Internet. In this research, the Internet Attitude Scale has been applied, a validated and standardized instrument. The scale was applied to 210 Biology teachers, of whom 155 are pre-service teachers and 55 are in-service…

This research aimed to determine pre-service science teachers' STEM awareness in terms of different variables. Data were collected from 148 pre-service science teachers studying at a state university in Turkey who were chosen through the convenience sampling method. "STEM Awareness Scale (SAS)" was employed as data collection tool, and…

This project studies designs for learning in the multimodal science classroom in primary and lowersecondary schools in Denmark. The aim of the study is to work with teachers to develop a start-up didactic design that raises student awareness of the affordances provided by different representational modes and thus enhances student production of…

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) can be viewed as a new concept for the educational technology world. However, there are many studies related to TPACK and TPACK cannot be considered out of context. Instead, researchers should have a deep understanding about how the results of a TPACK study may change due to its context. This…

Information and communication technologies are an effective means of formation of the creative potential of future physics teachers, as with their science-based application in the educational process at the university they allow fully activating learning activities of students, and provide conditions for their creative self-realization in the…

In line with the growing importance of use of education technologies in the field of education, teachers are increasingly expected to use education technologies in class environment and to provide students with appropriate environments and opportunities to use these technologies. This situation makes it necessary to investigate teachers'…
