This study aims to explore kindergarten student teachers' readiness to integrate technology into their future classrooms and factors affect their integration. A mixed-methods, sequential explanatory design was utilized to achieve the research purposes. There were two phases. The first phase conducted a survey to assess technical and pedagogical…

The "Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge" (TPACK) conceptual framework captures the complex nature of teacher knowledge essential for effective teaching in the digital age. TPACK is difficult to assess, however, particularly among teacher candidates whose pedagogical knowledge is developing. This study aimed to examine…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in daily life, transforming how we process information, analyse data, and communicate. As AI enables new forms of interaction, educators need to assess its implications for teaching and learning. This study examines how AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, were integrated into preservice teacher…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly impacted education, yet its influence on Chinese language education remains underexplored. This study investigates the distinct latent profiles of Chinese as a foreign language learners in Malaysia regarding their beliefs and engagement in AI-assisted Chinese learning. Using latent profile analysis,…
