Historically, teacher preparation programs do not adequately prepare teacher candidates to effectively integrate technology into teaching and learning. In addition, an underlying concern is if teachers are ready for online learning and teaching, and sparse research has focused on the preparations of teachers in integrating technology and online…

Mathematical cognitive technology tools, such as Desmos, have the capacity to provide rich mathematical experiences for students (Bos, 2009; Dick & Hollebrands, 2011). To maximize the benefits of MCTs, teachers must believe the technology will help students understand mathematics and be skilled at using the technology (Doerr & Zangor,…

In this study, we delve into the opportunities, challenges and prospects of gifted students in middle and secondary school in tapping artificial intelligence (AI). The first part introduces AI and its role in education and discusses how school students need to understand and use AI effectively. The second part examines the concept of giftedness…

Technology has significantly impacted our work and leisure spaces, but education is still working to build a bridge between the technological knowledge and skills required for living now and preparing students for their future. Although a reduction in the cost of technology has led to increased access and connectivity within schools, where…

Western Pacific educational institutions are investing heavily in technology in classrooms to meet the needs of K-12 students. Measuring the effective use of digital technologies in the learning environment has become a routine part of monitoring and evaluating classroom instruction. One area of technology integration that has seen tremendous…

The strong connection between information and communication technology (ICT) and educational innovation has been acknowledged by literature, and previous studies have shown the effects of various ICT factors on teacher innovativeness, but international evidence seems to come much later. Based on a three-level research framework, this study uses…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in general poses numerous challenges for educators and students alike, such as academic integrity, lack of knowledge and training, misinformation, and implementation costs. However, AI also presents opportunities to support equity and access, increased efficiency, new understandings of (and urgency around) digital…

This case study aimed to discover pre-service teacher perceptions of a technology integration micro-course called TPACK_ID at XY University (pseudonym). The theories guiding this study were TPACK and the learner-centered education paradigm. TPACK_ID provided effective foundations for pre-service teachers to integrate technology using…

Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a well-known framework in the field of educational technology. However, there is a dearth of studies that examine the impact of teachers' TPACK on the acceptance of Online Teacher Professional Development (OTPD). This study aimed to examine if TPACK affected secondary school mathematics…

This paper explores the development of policies dealing with teachers' digital competence in Norway, Ireland and Spain. Using a documentary research approach, the study analysed relevant policy documents from each country over a thirty-year period to the present day. Analysis of the documents highlights historical differences and similarities in…

This study is rigorous of peer-reviewed literature on the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) tools in secondary schools. It analyzed the impact of ICT integration on the teaching and learning process based on 51 sampled studies. The findings are thematically presented under the benefits of improving teaching and learning…

The increased integration of technology within the K-12 classroom has contributed to the change in the teacher's role within education. Although technology has proven to be beneficial to the education system for students, teachers are struggling with successful technology integration (Mundy et al., 2012; Tallvid, 2016). Effective professional…

Mathematical functioning in sub-Saharan Africa remains persistently weak in global terms. This limits the flourishing of young people and communities in the region. Moreover, affordable, effective ways to address the issue are not well established. This paper analyses outcomes from a blended learning 'Mathematical Thinking and IT' course,…

Development of new digital means requires teachers to dispose such level of didactic technological competences to be prepared properly to implement them into their teaching practice and to be not afraid to use them within their lessons. These facts evoke a need continuously to innovate curricula of the relevant part of teacher trainee study…

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has influenced almost every aspects of our life -- the household chores, education, recreation, entertainment, finance, and healthy living. Its impact on formal and informal education is widely recognized and ICT is being adopted by countries as an essential intervention in its education…
