As generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into educational environments, understanding their impact on critical thinking is crucial. Despite growing concerns about AI's potential to diminish students' independent reasoning, there is a lack of research tools specifically designed to evaluate students'…

This research aimed to investigate the structural relationships among teachers' computational thinking (CT), design thinking (DT), robotics teaching beliefs, and robotics pedagogical content knowledge (RPCK). A total of 98 in-service and pre-service teachers who participated in a robotics teaching professional development workshop served as the…

This study focuses on developing and validating a questionnaire to assess the integration of ICT by EFL teachers in higher education settings in Vietnam. Twenty EFL teachers from three language institutes participated in semi-structured interviews, generating 20 questionnaire items. Qualitative content analysis of the interview data provided…

Teachers' digital teaching competence is a prerequisite for efficient teaching. This study aimed to develop a scale to assess primary and secondary teachers' digital teaching competence (PSTDTC). We analyzed and generalized definitions, models, and frameworks for PSTDTC, proposed a five-dimension model (digital teaching design competence, digital…

From the complex dynamic systems theory perspective, evaluating CALL pedagogy involves miscellaneous variables. It seems the ecosystem of the CALL environment necessitates an array of extralinguistic (Ecolinguistically situated) issues to be considered in any appraisal of the CALL milieu. To this end, this paper aims to develop and validate a…

Quantitative studies on technology integration often examined general quantity of classroom technology use or teacher-reported accounts of integration practices. There is a current need for a measurement tool that links students' technology use and cognitive engagement, which will allow researchers to better illustrate how technology is woven into…

Within the scope of this research, prospective teachers' opinions on Facebook use for educational purposes was examined, and a modeling study was conducted in accordance with these views. In this study in which mixed method research patterns were used as research model, opinions were taken from 462 prospective teachers with a view to develop…

Numerous scholars are devoted to investigating the technology acceptance model (TAM) and its extensions, but a comprehensive TAM is still under investigation. This study aims to formulate a relatively comprehensive model by including personal investment and identify factors that influence students' adoption of CCtalk-aided English as a foreign…

This article presents the development and validation of the Pre-Service EFL Teachers' Motivational Beliefs about Instructional Use of Technology scale (PTMB-EFL) using a randomly split sample. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 23-item six-factor structure of the PTMB-EFL generated from exploratory factor analysis. Significant correlations…

Aim/Purpose: The objective of this study is threefold: (i) investigate how a group of subjects see the relationship between the integration of content, pedagogical and technological knowledge of their chemistry teaching in light of the teaching practices developed during the pandemic; (ii) present a framework for the integration of digital…

A thorough understanding of how "ICT support" provided by teacher preparation programmes influences preservice teachers' "technological pedagogical content knowledge" (TPACK) has become increasingly essential. This study aimed at exploring the mediating role of "ICT perception," "perceived ICT competence"…

Mishra and Koehler's technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) theory can help provide the framework for measuring needed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in faculty members at 2-year public colleges. This study tests a self-assessment survey in a large sample of 2-year public college faculty members. Using factor analysis, the…

Reforms to support and expand personalized learning increasingly are being introduced in middle schools across the United States. Personalization, as enacted in response to these reforms, encourages teachers to implement many practices that long have been recommended by advocates of middle grades philosophy. To better understand the practices of…

Recently, smart mobile devices (SMDs) such as smartphones, smart pads and tablet computers have been responsible for introducing broad innovations into the education field as Self-directed, Motivated, Adaptive, Resources-enriched, Technology…

In this study, we would like to show the analysis of latent factor structure of school digitalization from the teachers' perspective based on pilot SELFIE (Self-reflection tool for digitally capable schools) data. The survey of 685 teachers who took part in the pilot SELFIE study in Russia were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis. Five…
