Many seem to believe that today's pre-service teachers as born after 1980 are digital natives, or that they are "native speakers" of the digital language. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that their digital native characteristics determine whether or not they would use technology in the classroom. Although not widely evaluated, the…

This study aims to investigate the relationships among training on technology integration, self-efficacy, and technology acceptance. In this sense, the two-phase study firstly validated an instrument and then, the relationships among the specified factors were tested through structural equation modeling. While 384 pre-service teachers participated…

The success of learning mathematics depends largely on students' satisfaction in learning the subject. This, along with other factors such as perceived usefulness in learning mathematics, will eventually increase students' intention to continue learning mathematics. This study integrated the Expectancy Confirmation Model (ECM) and perceived…

This study addresses the challenge of teaching genetics effectively to high school students, a topic known to be particularly challenging. Leveraging the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, the research explores the perspectives, attitudes, and behavioral intentions of pre-service teachers regarding the integration of…

Science and technology (S&T) plays a central role in today's knowledge- and technology-based society. The transfer of S&T from the education system to the economy should be promoted by teachers using innovative behaviour as an important aspect of providing high-quality education. Several studies have found that a mismatch exists between…

This study aimed to determine the extent of pre-service science teachers' (PTS) process and materialistic understanding of sound concept and the role of their task value beliefs in their scientific conception of sound. With this aim, the Sound Concept Inventory Instrument (SCII) was translated and adapted to Turkish. The SCII was administered to…

The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice teachers' (PSTs') beliefs about their intentions to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their future mathematics classrooms. The main research objective was to examine the extent to which PSTs' beliefs predicted their intentions to integrate ICTs in their…

Teachers' intention to use technology is a major factor in its effective use in learning including in developing countries. This research empirically investigated on factors that influence Pre-Service Science Teachers' (PSSTs) intention to use Web 2.0 in learning through Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Indonesia.
