A central component of the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) is curriculum co-development between U.S. and Canadian academics from the African Diaspora and host collaborators at African higher education institutions. The CADFP aims to build the capacity of African higher education institutions by increasing and enhancing…

We examine teachers' reflections on incorporating digital instructional resources (DIRs) into their mathematics teaching. We analyze qualitative interviews with 39 elementary school teachers from four educational contexts: Belgium, Finland, Sweden, and the U.S., using a framework proposed by Pepin et al. (Int J Math Educ 46: 645-661, 2017) to…

A rapid, exploratory review to establish a shared understanding of what constitutes good quality EdTech and implementation. The review: (1) examined existing frameworks and standards; and (2) identified the characteristics, quality components, essential conditions and evaluation criteria for the design and implementation of EdTech. The report…

Global trends in the 21st century highlight the importance and necessity of technology use for students to demonstrate their learning processes, thus facilitating their language learning in meaningful technological contexts (Eaton, 2010).

Using nationally representative data for lower secondary teachers from the 2013 Teaching and Learning International Survey, we examined differences in factors associated with technology-enabled learning between the United States and South Korea. The results confirmed the importance of teachers' self-efficacy and their participation in professional…

The paper discusses how the faculty finds it difficult to apply their experiences in teaching and use of information and communication technology (ICT) for teaching and learning at the University of Botswana. Although technology was available and accessible, adopters of technology at the University of Botswana find it hard to use technology in…

Recent initiatives in the United States and United Kingdom have added greatly to the amount and quality of research on the effectiveness of secondary reading programs, especially programs for struggling readers. In this review of the experimental research on secondary reading programs, the authors focused on 69 studies that used random assignment…

This manuscript reports on two studies on the implementation of a technology-rich innovation in public schools. This technology-rich innovation was an online quasi-video game environment that used 'through-the-window' virtual reality and a robust back story to situate learning activities in the virtual world for children. The first study examined…

Studies in the fields of education and social sciences have always been important in terms of their impacts on society.
