It requires them to have basic technology skills, standards, and competencies from which to work, lead and finally integrate technology appropriately in school. To investigate this new role and daunting tasks, the…

Considering preservice teachers' reflections on their best academic learning experiences, the purpose of this research was to use a problem-solving lens to analyze how preservice teachers were first identifying an educational problem and then suggesting solutions where educational technology could be meaningfully implemented. This research used an…

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…

The omnipresence of digital teaching is becoming evident along with technological advancement. Hence, teachers' acquaintance with their pedagogical skills requires refinement to improve their professionalism and stay relevant. Yet, there is limited, profound research available that has discussed this issue and highlighted its shortcomings. This…

The central issue is how lecturers' digital literacy skills directly affect higher education…

Given the deluge of technology flowing into African countries from the global north, it is not a hyperbole to make a point that developed nations are better equipped to practically integrate Smart Technologies supporting Artificial Intelligence (STAI) into higher education teaching methodologies. However, conversations regarding the application of…

The potential of AI in K-12 education is vast, promising personalized learning experiences, enhanced engagement, and innovative instructional tools. However, its introduction into classrooms brings forth concerns ranging from ethics to teacher preparedness. Drawing on Christensen's concept of disruptive innovation, this study aims to assess and…

One of the obstacles to teaching physical education in the 21st century is the necessity for teachers to integrate technology-based learning. The TPACK framework plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of instruction in physical education. This study aims to map the TPACK competencies of physical education teachers. A cross-sectional survey…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preservice teachers' identity on TPACK regarding the mediating roles of mathematics teaching competency, teacher belief, and technostress across grade levels. A total of 926 preservice mathematics teachers participated in the study. We used structural equation modeling to determine and…

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…

Technology integration, particularly its growing popularity in PK-12 classrooms in the United States, is an ongoing issue. Studies have shown that professional development around integrating technology in the classroom can only go so far with increasing teacher workloads. Integrating technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and…

Although teachers agree that technology is beneficial for enhancing math education and pedagogy, there are concerns about incorporating technology into their teaching practices. The problem addressed in this study was that high school teachers are challenged to integrate technology into math instruction. The purpose of this basic qualitative study…

Technology development has changed students' characteristics and learning needs. As facilitators of student learning, teachers should be able to use learning technology effectively in their classrooms. This study aimed to examine teacher preferences in using learning technology and explore key factors for using learning technology. This study used…

As teachers are central to digitalizing education, we summarize 40 years of research on their role in that process within a systematic umbrella review that includes 23 systematic reviews with a total of 1062 primary studies focusing technology integration and aspects of digital literacy. Our findings highlight the international acceptance of the…
