This study aimed to explore the key determinants of public employees' acceptance of video conferencing tools (VCTs) using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model. In addition to the core TAM constructs--perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and behavioral intention--subjective norms, output quality, technostress, self-efficacy,…

Previous research has extensively explored the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. However, much of previous research has not differentiated between the environments where ICT is used, particularly in terms of its perceived usefulness in school versus at home. This gap in understanding the contextual…

This study aims to examine university students' intentions to use artificial intelligence (AI) applications in their educational processes within the context of job characteristics (JC), technology characteristics (TC), task-technology fit (TTF), and self-efficacy (SE). The research was conducted with 965 students enrolled in Information…

This study attempts to: (a) investigate whether positive and negative emotions mediate the pathways linking self-efficacy for learning programming with effort and persistence in undergraduates' learning Scratch programming combining with a programmable hardware platform (i.e., Arduino), and (b) assess the effect of academic major (i.e.,…

This study examines whether adolescents' interest and self-concept regarding information and communication technologies (ICT) affect their subsequent career paths through the selection into different vocational education and training (VET) programs. Drawing on Eccles' situated expectancy value theory and related theories, we argue that ICT…

Today, with digital technologies being in every aspect of our lives, cyberbullying and digital ethics, and digital security violations are emerging as concepts that threaten our digital world. It is thought that displaying ethical behavior and providing digital security in digital environments can increase sensitivity to cyberbullying. Here, it is…

Mathematical literacy is becoming increasingly important and needs to be developed. However, various factors can affect students with different mathematical literacy patterns. This study aims to investigate the effects of students' backgrounds, attitudes toward mathematics, and information and communication technology (ICT) familiarity on the…

This study examines learners' acceptance of an immersive STEAM-based microlearning environment from the perspective of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as the primary analytical approach. While immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)…

College and university enrollment has decreased nationwide every year for more than a decade as educational consumers increasingly question the value of higher education and discover alternatives to the traditional university system. Enrollment professionals seeking growth are tasked to develop and implement innovative solutions to address…

The paper applies a scoping review of k = 16 empirical studies from nine countries and three continents that aim at an empirical investigation of teachers' ICT integration in lesson plans as part of their professional competence. We summarise the results into four sections: conceptualisations, study design, measurement instruments, and key…

Authentic leadership is a relatively new concept in leadership literature with little empirical research in educational settings and within the realm of information technology professionals. Authentic leadership is slated to be a form of leadership that yields positive follower and organizational outcomes. Researching authentic leadership and job…

The global education system has two primary objectives: achieving universal quality early childhood education (ECE) and integrating information and communication technology (ICT). We sought to determine whether preservice preschool teachers possess the necessary knowledge to integrate ICT into ECE by examining the technological pedagogical content…

In this paper, we present an extended evaluation of a course recommender system designed to support students who struggle in the first semesters of their studies and are at risk of dropping out. The system, which was developed in earlier work using a student-centered design, is based on the explainable k-nearest neighbor algorithm and recommends a…

Having a job immediately after graduation is the dream of every IT graduate. However, not everyone can achieve this outcome. The study's primary goal is to develop predictive models to forecast IT graduates' chances of finding a job based on factors such as academic performance, socioeconomic status, academic habits, and demographic data.…

An article by Kim et al. from 2014 examined individual- and school-level variables affecting the information and communication technology (ICT) literacy level of Korean elementary school students, finding differential gender effects. In this secondary data replication, we used data from the 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy…
