The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in STEM education (AI-STEM), as an emerging field, is confronted with a challenge of integrating diverse AI techniques and complex educational elements to meet instructional and learning needs. To gain a comprehensive understanding of AI applications in STEM education, this study conducted a…

The Applied Linguistics field is criticized for neglecting Indigenous languages and cultures as well as social justice issues. Some see technology as exasperating the digital divide. We are urged to reflect on our work to see whose interests the field serves and respond with action. I discuss these issues in relation to existing work, arguing that…

The use of technologies in schools has grown over time along with the accessibility of technology tools. Unfortunately, educators have been reluctant to incorporate technology in their lessons, as they are more knowledgeable and comfortable with traditional teaching modalities (Daniels et al., 2013; Hyun et al., 2017; Tyler-Wood et al., 2018).…

There is limited research examining the efficacy of online delivery for experiential, field-based, interdisciplinary coursework in environmental education geared towards undergraduate students, and how connection to nature can be understood through the theory of emerging adulthood. This research employed a convergent mixed methods approach to…

K-12 education has continually made changes to meet society's needs. The changes require teachers to find new teaching methods to use evolving technology. Educators can integrate technology in the content areas to provide students with a 21st-century education that includes critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity and…

In today's schools, the ability to integrate technology into the teaching and learning environment is a necessary and crucial skill. Many K-12 classroom environments are technology-rich, with 1:1 devices, blended learning, and even distance instruction taking place. However, new teachers often enter the classroom unprepared to successfully utilize…

This study examined teacher perceptions of pedagogical change while using 1:1 Chromebooks in their classrooms. With effective professional development and implementation of 1:1 Chromebooks to meet the needs of 21st century learners, technology was integrated to allow students to collaborate, explore, inquire, and supply opportunities for students…

Within the context of this article, a brief understanding of both Physical and Health education within the United States is created. Furthermore, this paper seeks to circulate the discussion around implementing technology into these fields of Education including wearable watches as well as their strengths and limitations. One particular area of…

This article-format dissertation focuses on how scholars use social media to support their scholarship. The first article is a scoping literature review that outlines current research. While overviewing an emergent field of literature, the article highlights motivations for using social media use, discusses benefits and drawbacks of this use for…

Creation-based augmented reality platforms (CB-ARPs) are an emerging technology that allows users to design, develop, and deliver content in the form of augmented reality without having to code. Though researchers have found AR to be motivational and engaging to students, they are only beginning to determine if it results in higher levels of…

Technology is shaping our personal and professional lives every day, yet many educators struggle with its implementation and therefore are not using it to the fullest potential. The purpose of this single-case study was to analyze how a teacher's participation in a Professional Development (PD) initiative influenced the implementation of mobile…

The inclusion of the InChI or SMILES codes as a one-sentence answer allows web-based classroom response systems to provide instant feedback to some of the most typical drawing-based questions asked in organic chemistry courses. This paper discusses the implementation and scope of this strategy using smartphones as the only hardware requirement.

In the education sector, teachers are often faced with an influx of technology, and various factors affect how and when to use it (perceived usefulness). Various research showed that teachers with high self-efficacy perform better in the classroom, and their students achieve greater gain compared to teachers with low self-efficacy. Additionally,…

Mixed-reality simulation (MRS) is an innovative and promising approach in teacher preparation programs. While the use of MRS as a practice-based learning opportunity (PLO) in special education teacher preparation and professional development continues to grow, integrating this novel technology can be daunting for faculty members and school…

Digitalization challenges the way in which business processes are seen. The potential for enhancement is even recognized in business areas that traditionally have little to do with IT. Even though universities have long-standing traditions of how work is organized, they have not been eager to adopt digitalized processes. Because core university…
