Educational Technologies (EdTech) and Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) are established fields of academic research with the potential to transform educational practices and outcomes. Yet, they are currently facing several problems that undermine their efficacy and relevance. In this discussion paper, we examine recurrent complaints of…

In parallel to web evolution from 1.0 to 4.0 with trends to 5.0, e-learning has evolved to smart learning (SmL). E-courses are pedagogically designed and implemented using web technologies to provide smart learning affordances (SLAs). By following research-based design methodology, this study investigates the effectiveness of web technologies…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining popularity in schools for instructional purposes, but its potential and usage could be extended to school management. Just as teachers must prepare for the changes brought about by AI technology in their classrooms, school leaders need to be ready and equipped to handle these transitions. However,…

Today, technology plays a crucial role in the daily lives of young children, even in their pre-kindergarten education. In an explanatory sequential mixed methods study, I addressed the following guiding question: "What are urban pre-kindergarten directors' self-reported behaviors associated with the International Society for Technology in…

This study addresses the growing need for effective professional development programs to enhance technology integration in classrooms. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research identifies best practices in professional development that can increase teacher self-efficacy and equip them with the necessary skills for 21st-century…

Teachers' perceptions of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) profoundly influence how children experience ICT-supported activities in kindergartens. In China, given that the adoption of ICT in educational settings has been part of national development goals, kindergarten teachers' perceptions of it deserve more in-depth…

Research has established that the proper use of technology in the classroom can promote and improve students' skill levels and knowledge base. Also, certain factors either enhance or impede the successful integration of technology in students' learning environments. Examples of these are efficiency of use, subject area, and teacher knowledge of…

Augmented Reality has a positive impact in the world of education. Systematic review studies and article reviews have provided evidence of this positive impact. Augmented reality is an effective medium for learning, especially during a pandemic. The keyword used to find the articles on the Scopus database was "augmented AND reality AND in AND…

This study investigates the perspectives of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) educators in Türkiye regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence Tools (AITs) into STEM education (STEM-e). The research was conducted to address the lack of comprehensive studies exploring educators' experiences, challenges, and the…

The integration of technology into teaching and learning processes is highly relevant in today's educational landscape, as technology has become essential for facilitating student learning. However, in practice, technology has not been fully optimized to develop students' critical thinking skills. The TPACK framework, which guides teachers in…

It is difficult to imagine a world without technology in schools as we are surrounded by and dependent on the tools we use each and every day. Technology integration alone is a relatively newer topic in education as the world wide web was invented less than thirty-five years ago. Since the onset of technology integration in schools research has…

The research paper explores the impact of assignments on enhancing educational technology awareness among postgraduate trainee English language teachers at the Hellenic Open University. The study focused on participants in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) program, specifically those engaging in the 13-week training module…

Twenty years after its inauguration, the information communication and technology for accelerated development (ICT4AD) policy intended to transform Ghana into an information and technology-driven high-income economy through digital education has been unsuccessful. In this digital era, young adults' attachment to technological tools is anticipated…

This study highlighted the role played by digitalization elements, such as information and communication technology (ICT) adoption, the social internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), in e-learning systems. It also examined the mediating role of digital literacy (DL) and pedagogical digital competence (PDC) and the potential…

Over the last several decades, digital technology (DT) integration in teaching and learning mathematics has received considerable attention, as such integration has not led to the expected results. Teacher education is a critical factor -- even more important than access to tools and devices -- in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The…
