One trending theme within research on learning and teaching is an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI). While AI offers opportunities in the educational arena, blindly replacing human involvement is not the answer. Instead, current research suggests that the key lies in harnessing the strengths of both humans and AI to create a more effective…

This study examines opportunities for teacher professional growth and innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data, including responses to both closed and open-ended questions, were collected from 276 elementary-school teachers who taught online in two school districts in California. Quantitative and qualitative analyses document the…

The professional development of teachers is considered a central task of teacher training and therefore also for teaching technology education in an era of digitalization. The anchoring of technology and digital technologies is becoming a mandatory task in teaching especially due to curriculum requirements and an increasing importance of learning…

This current study aims to determine the factors affecting teachers' attitudes towards e-portfolios by using data mining methods such as the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm and Random Forest (RF) algorithm. The study group consists of 449 participants willing to participate on a volunteer basis. In the study, the data were…

Immersive virtual reality (iVR) is a novel form of computer technology that promises to transform not only the delivery of language and cultural instruction but also how students produce language. The existing, yet limited, scholarship on the applications of iVR in the language classroom suggests affective and cultural benefits (e.g., increased…

The integration of digital technology in public K-12 classrooms has been an evolving topic over the past several decades. As technology services and systems become more ubiquitous in everyday life, their implications for enhancing public education have been increasingly promised with varied results. Up until 2020, the integration of instructional…

The research literature on mobile technology integration discussed the disconnect between staff training, self-efficacy, and technology use in the classroom. This quantitative study examined elementary classroom teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) and self-efficacy beliefs related to mobile technology integration.…

Technology brings tremendous changes in education because it is a system that automates all educational institutions and academic performance. Therefore, the study examines the effect of technology's system, information and service quality on faculty, operational and university performance. To explore the more contextual factors, this study…

Understanding the teacher's technology adoption process is essential to comprehend and narrow the digital divide in the post-epidemic age. During the pandemic, the stay-at-home orders not only intervened schooling and teaching but also increased digital accessibility to teachers. This research studies teacher heterogeneity and adoption controls in…

As digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in educational settings, teachers' key competencies -- in particular, their professional knowledge regarding the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in the classroom -- warrant targeted development. Aside from their general pedagogical knowledge (GPK), teachers'…

Given the inadequate empirical research on teachers' information literacy, this study examined Chinese university foreign language teachers' information literacy and explored factors that influence their information literacy. Analyses of data collected through questionnaires suggested university Chinese foreign language teachers perceived…

Various studies have been done on shifting toward technology-based second language (L2) education. However, the influence of psycho-emotional factors on students' technology acceptance is overlooked. To fill this gap, the present quantitative study examined the role of students' achievement emotions and technological self-efficacy in predicting…

Effective collaboration and teamwork skills are critical in high-risk sectors, as deficiencies in these areas can result in injuries and risk of death. To foster the growth of these vital skills, immersive learning spaces have been created to simulate real-world scenarios, enabling students to safely improve their teamwork abilities. In such…

Effective integration of technology is critical for online, blended, hybrid, and face-to-face learning. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the SETI (Socio-Ecological Technology Integration) framework and explain what it adds to the scholarly research regarding effective technology integration. The SETI framework goes beyond previous…

The use of virtual reality and 360° videos has been little researched so far, especially in social work studies and teaching. The reasons for this are the low prevalence of VR headsets in social work courses and the fundamental technological deficit in social work, which means the lack of clear causal chains within it. Professionals must adapt…
