This book is the result of a collaboration between a human editor and an artificial intelligence algorithm to create a machine-generated literature overview of research articles analyzing importance of critical thinking in Educational Settings. It's a new publication format in which state-of-the-art computer algorithms are applied to select the…

This qualitative study delved into the challenges faced by elementary educators at a suburban school in integrating technology-enhanced literacy pedagogy to bolster student success. Guided by Venkatesh's unified theory of acceptance, the research investigated educators' perceptions and utilization of technology in literacy instruction to foster…

We focus on the integration of STACK--a Computer-Aided Assessment (CAA) technology--in the mathematics department of a high-ranking University in the United Kingdom. We study a department-wide project where instructors were expected to implement STACK into continuous assessment tasks for (nearly) all core modules across the first two years of…

The increasingly ubiquitous use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education have brought vast boons to educators and learners but also caused technostress for some of them due to their maladaptation to ICT-supported work and learning. Scientific research on technostress in educational settings has been growing ever since this…

As technology becomes increasingly prominent in modern mathematics education, there's a growing need to understand the essential knowledge mathematics teachers need to effectively integrate technology in algebra instructions. This study therefore enhances the current Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) framework, which theorises teachers'…

This article aims to unravel the intellectual lineage of student engagement in higher education (SEHE) from 1999 to 2024 through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Recognizing SEHE's multifaceted impact on learning and development, the study addresses the literature's lack of cohesion. The examination of 1,317 articles published in Scopus and…

Objectives: I analyze, deconstruct, and debunk prevalent misconceptions about artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Methods: This study identifies and presents ten common myths about AI in education, followed by concise explanations that counter each myth with the corresponding reality, relying on credible sources and evidence. Results: AI…

In this study, three math and three science teacher educators (TEs) were positioned as designers of instruction. The investigation considered how TEs supported preservice teachers (PSTs) to learn to facilitate argumentation discussions using two digital simulations. Research questions were (a) How did TEs engage in instructional design around the…

The study examines pre-service mathematics teachers' perceptions of the integration of technology into algebra education. With the growing emphasis on technology in education, it is crucial to understand how pre-education teachers see technology and engage in it when teaching mathematics. The research aims to gain a view of their beliefs,…

This chapter describes a pedagogy-first summer faculty development program designed to support faculty who want to add digital components to a course or academic program.

In recent times, teacher preparation programmes have faced significant challenges as many universities transitioned to fully online or hybrid instructional models as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. These sudden shifts drastically decreased classroom teaching opportunities, which was a cornerstone of teacher preparation programmes to…

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to explore university teachers' stages of concerns (SoC) about the adoption of the Moodle LMS at the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Ghana. Hundred and thirty-one (131) participants (university teachers) were randomly selected from the Kumasi…

Instructional coaching shows unique promise as an approach for helping educators improve their practice with technology. The transition back to face-to-face instruction from online learning accelerated the need to deploy effective approaches like instructional coaching to help teachers keep pace with hastening technology change. The present study…

The application of information and communication technology (ICT) to educational processes, dubbed instructional or educational technology (EdTech), efficiently increases learner outcomes by fostering student-centered learning, differentiation, and diversified learning techniques. While research has indicated varied benefits of EdTech to teaching…

This qualitative participatory action research (PAR) study uses photovoice to explore the assumption that digital natives in a teacher credential program understand effective technology integration in the classroom. This study examines teacher candidates' (TCs) abilities to identify and articulate effective technology integration as connected to…
