The purpose of this research is to investigate the views of Primary Education students on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education and their use in the Religious Studies course. Specifically, it investigates students' views on the use of digital tools, the use of Information and Communication Technologies for school…

Evidence indicates that the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education improves knowledge acquisition, reduces socioeconomic disparities, fosters autonomous learning, and develops problem-solving and collaboration skills. Teachers and their professional development play a crucial role in facilitating an effective…

Digital technologies and the instructional contexts in which they are embedded can increase students' access to meaningful learning opportunities. Although there is a tradition of designing and integrating digital tools in secondary-grades project-based science instruction to enhance learners' access to disciplinary learning, the elementary grades…

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to enhance visual cognition through virtual object experimentation and practice, while also fostering spatial skills relevant to mathematics. This experimental study was conducted with 86 sixth graders in Eastern China, involving a 3-month AR integrated Mathematics Curriculum (ARiMC), with pre- and…

This article examined digital learning engagement as the out-of-school learning component that reflects informally emerging socio-digital participation. The gap hypothesis proposes that students who prefer learning with digital technologies outside of school are less engaged in traditional school. This hypothesis was approached from the framework…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how primary teachers, when taking part in digital didactic design (D[superscript 3]) workshops at the Digital Laboratory Centre at the university, develop their insights about how digital tools can be designed and further used in their teaching of science. The research question addresses how D[superscript 3]…

The existence of studies that support the usefulness of tablets in primary education is encouraging. For this reason, this research analyses this device's didactic use. The present project is part of a qualitative narrative research. The data of experiences supported by the tablet were collected through nine discussion groups and a set of…

The study investigated the reported regressive performances of students in spatial reasoning concepts with a view to promote early spatial reasoning of lower primary school pupils across ability levels and sex. Non-equivalent experimental research design was employed. A hundred and five (105) pupils in four intact classes were exposed to six weeks…

This study examines the advantages and disadvantages of using leading information technology to teach primary and lower secondary school students. The study sample consisted of 50 students between the ages of 11 and 14. The questionnaire included four types of scientific research questions, consisting of discovery, descriptive, explanatory, and…

Existing research on the use of technology in participatory theatre in education has paid little attention to the moment-to-moment unfolding that characterises the liveliness at the heart of such practice. In this conceptual article, we show how a sociomaterialist perspective can illuminate the contingent co-emergence of people, things and…

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the inclusive classroom requires competent teaching staff from both the technological and pedagogical points of view. Within this context, and with the aim of looking at one of these theoretical premises, this study aimed to identify the degree of training and technological…

Many European governments, including Norway, have ambitious educational policies regarding digitalisation. Many businesses and policymakers pay great attention to the use of digital technologies in education in order to meet the future demands for a competent and qualified workforce. Among researchers and policymakers, there is a general consensus…

This paper reports on teaching/learning a foreign language of children having autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), particularly Highly functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome by virtue of help of ICT. The content includes theoretical background of the strengths and weaknesses of ASD students. It also includes research on four foreign language…

Developments in the field of knowledge and technology are affecting education systems. Most of the research regarding educational use of technology emphasize the importance of integration of information and communication technologies to the learning-teaching process. Since 1984 where Turkey's efforts started on technology integration, various…

Twenty-first century schools are characterized by increasing diversity and use of technology. An opportunity exists for school counselors to utilize technology to create novel and innovative classroom guidance lessons designed to facilitate cultural exploration and promote cultural understanding. This article provides a rationale for how the…
