Immersive technologies strive to enhance users' digital experiences by enabling more interactive, engaging, and realistic virtual environments. Despite the growing popularity and advancements in immersive technologies, achieving widespread user acceptance remains a significant challenge. In addition, previous acceptance models may not fully…

Building upon previous research on the therapeutic object, specifically the "objet re-petit-ive abc," which draws from Lacan, Winnicott, and Guattari, I explore the generation, contribution, and erosion of knowledge in the so-called smart city. I will investigate how digital pedagogical objects, functioning as transitional objects, can…

"Applications" of knowledge symbolically and structurally "codify" thinking, often displacing the human who is relegated to passive, routine reproduction of operations and left with no space or time to understand or question the relations underlying the processes. This is both mirrored and augmented by the schematic narrowing…

Supporting the integration of technology into schools can be one of the daunting tasks and challenging role for school principals. 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…

Technology-infused classrooms sometimes feel like tech-support sessions, where students struggle to learn platform interfaces during their process of content creation. Especially in courses where technology is the medium, not the subject matter, time and attention directed toward troubleshooting can feel like distractions from the "real"…

Chemistry is an essential subject for most science-based undergraduate courses in universities; as such, it is a basic requirement for secondary school students aspiring to study science-related courses in universities. However, the subject has historically been linked to high failure rates and underperformance of students in secondary school…

Jacques Ellul, a 20th century French academic, is best known for his writing on "technique," understood as both individual means to ends and an all-encompassing system that prioritizes efficient solutions to problems. While Ellul's terminology is not necessarily familiar in contemporary educational technology research, it represents…

This study aims to examine postgraduate theses focusing on technology integration in the field of mathematics education in Turkey between 2015-2023, taking into account the didactic focus classification. In this research, systematic literature review was used to address research questions. This systematic literature review followed the Preferred…

The sudden transition to remote learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant increase in reliance on instructional technology, some unique to STEM disciplines. This violation of students' expectations for the learning experience presented an additional crisis. Students had to react to the disruption without time to…

This book introduces "University 4.0" as an Educational Technology subject and studies in detail the processes of formation and development of Universities 4.0. It includes materials and applied recommendations for improving the management of Universities 4.0, as well as for the transition to Educational Technology through the creation…

This article analyzes, based on the formulation and implementation of the Special Program for Remote Activities (Reanp), the controversies of these processes, and the associations and translations of public, private, and technological actors during the COVID-19 pandemic. To track the actors and understand their connections, we considered…

Deep learning models for text classification have been increasingly used in intelligent tutoring systems and educational writing assistants. However, the scarcity of data in many educational settings, as well as certain imbalances in counts among the annotated labels of educational datasets, limits the generalizability and expressiveness of…

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…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 300,000 students in Peru dropped out of the school system. Most of the students were rural Indigenous students. A lack of infrastructure and connectivity, as well as a lack of contextualized and appropriate educational resources, made it virtually impossible for rural students to engage in formal learning.…

This article describes the results of a qualitative pilot study, conducted with individuals facing multiple statuses of marginalisation and self-reported barriers to formal education (n = 8). This study emphasises the potential utility of fictional media based on narrative or storytelling pedagogies, and posits that the increasing use of…
