Background: In taking up educational technology tools and student-centered instructional practice, there is consensus that instructors consider the unique aspects of their instructional context. However, tool adoption success is often framed narrowly by numerical uptake rates or by conformity with non-negotiable components. Purpose: We pursue an…

This article examines the significance of professional development (PD) in shaping the beliefs undergirding teachers' classroom practices specifically learner-centred and teacher-centred beliefs, ICT beliefs and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It highlights key considerations for designing and implementing PD grounded in…

Teacher technology integration is an evolutionary process, and its relation with various personal and contextual variables may change over time. This study collected questionnaire responses from 429 Chinese K-12 teachers at two time points, and examined how the associations of technology-related beliefs, pedagogical practices and perceived…

Teachers in a rural southeastern state school district are not integrating technology in ways that provide students with engaging technology-based learning experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' current technology-based instructional practices based on the substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition (SAMR)…

Technology is undoubtedly a foundational asset for higher education providers, but for many leaders in the sector it remains something of a black box. This collection of essays brings together leading EdTech voices to explain how technology is already improving higher education and how much more it could potentially do to transform the student…

This article explores the current research on teacher integration of instructional technology in their teaching practices. The literature shows that teachers continue, as they have for decades, to be reluctant and struggle to incorporate instructional technology resources into their lessons, depriving their students of needed skills and…

The amount of technology available in schools has increased steadily over the past two decades, but higher-level uses have not followed, and many teachers continue to struggle integrating technology in their classrooms. The purpose of this study was to describe teachers' beliefs about technology in the classroom and identify whether their beliefs…

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,…

Mobile devices are ubiquitous, but their potential for adaptive educational interventions remains largely untapped. We identify three key promises of mobile interventions for educational research and practice: 1) intervening when it is most beneficial (i.e., "just-in-time adaptivity"), 2) estimating causal effects of interventions in…

This mixed methods research study examined the relationship between faculty mindset and their perceived use of instructional technology in the higher education classroom. Recognizing the growing importance of technology-mediated learning interventions, the researcher sought to gain a deeper understanding of how mindset influenced the use of…

Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, people have distances among each other, and this situation has affected everything. Education, which has been the most important thing for humanity since the beginning of history, has also been affected. To continue and survive the system, people started using and adapting different distance learning with…

Talladega County Schools (TCBOE) spans 760 square miles and serves about 7,000 learners, 71 percent of whom receive free and reduced-priced meals. It also is a member of the League of Innovative Schools, a network of forward-looking school districts that have declared their commitment to improving and advancing equitable outcomes for students…

Purpose: Education 4.0 (E 4.0) represents a new paradigm in the field of education, which emphasizes a student-centric approach that allows learners to access education anytime, anywhere, tailored to their individual needs through modern-day technologies. The purpose of the study was to unearth the critical success factors (CSFs) essential for the…

Immersive technology plays an increasingly important role in design education, supporting digital literacy and experiential learning in higher education, particularly in the post-COVID-19 context. Many design disciplines, such as Architecture and Landscape Design, which used to rely heavily on physical field trips, and dialogic studios as…

Moving towards Smart Learning Spaces (SLS) requires reconsideration of the school environment using a multi-dimensional approach that considers pedagogical, environmental and technological aspects. However, learning spaces have not changed that much. New designs and remodelling of educational contexts rarely are evidence-based and rarely…
