Many technology acceptance models used in education were originally designed for general technologies and later adopted by education researchers. This study extends Davis' technology acceptance model to specifically evaluate educational technologies in higher education, focusing on virtual classrooms. Prior research informed the construction of…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models have been a commonly used tool for tracking students' knowledge status. Recent advances in deep knowledge tracing (DKT) have demonstrated increased performance for knowledge tracing tasks in many datasets. However, interpreting students' states on single knowledge components (KCs) from DKT models could be challenging…

Introduction: "High-tech" assistive technology (AT) plays a critical role in the lives and educational experiences of students with visual impairments (i.e. those who are blind or have low vision). However, little is known about how these students actually use AT within their educational programs. Methods: A survey examining AT use and…

University campuses worldwide are increasingly adopting eTextbooks and digital resources. To better understand how this new technology is influencing students and instructors, the researcher designed a survey to gather student and faculty perspectives at one medium-sized regional university in the Southwest United States regarding which factors…

This paper explores the roles of information and communication technology (ICT) coordinators, using architectures for learning as the theoretical framework to identify (a) the structures and mechanisms utilized to decide the role of a coordinator and (b) those organized for the coordinator to realize a role within a school context of ICT-enabled,…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the next evolution of our quest for technology integration, one that moves away from the "product" of teacher decision making (i.e., the type of use) towards their "process" of decision making. After presenting a brief history of our field's quest, we bring together three ideas about…

While many researchers address the issue of how teachers use technology and others study how different generations value and use technology in their own lives and in their education, there is a lack of knowledge that addresses whether or not generation affects how teachers use technology in their own classrooms. Additionally, there is a debate in…

Transdisciplinary research (TR) is a growing field in a myriad of subject domains ranging from sustainability to education. The idea is to solve complex problems through the collaborative participation of academic actors, community stakeholders, governments, and other leaders to jointly define the problem and find solutions. To accomplish such…

The study investigated the level of integration of mobile device technology in teaching and learning in Botswana universities. Botswana is one of the few African countries with a strong and stable economy and a high prevalence of technological gadgets that include mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, among others, in use in the population. Despite…

While focusing on numeracy is essential in preschool classrooms with deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, it is also important that concepts of numeracy be taught in a way that incorporates executive functions, introduces computational thinking, and prepares students for life in a 21st-century world. Technology-enhanced teaching resources…

Information communication and technologies (ICT) as a facilitator of active learning (AL) in higher education is becoming an increasingly important tool. One of the most significant developments with the use of ICT in higher education over the last decade has been the integration and application of e-learning systems to support the processes of…

The main purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate technology acceptance in teaching of Advanced level Geography in Zimbabwean Secondary Schools. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to evaluate teacher's perceived usefulness of technology, perceived ease of use and teacher's attitude towards using technology during instruction. The…

Purpose: The main objective of this article is to contribute to the field of accessibility in the teaching of sign language in the international panorama, examining its applicability, evaluation methods as well as the assistive technologies used to improve teaching experiences and the creation of new materials, proposing a theoretical framework…

Technology continues to evolve at lightning speed, especially in the world of education. When the use of technology in education is considered, the focus tends to be on specific applications such as Google Classroom, websites, and word processing (Tierney, n.d.). It has been contended that teachers act as technology gatekeepers in today's schools,…
