The research is conceptual, introducing a synthetic picture of the teacher-student relationship with the environment in which they develop throughout their lives. Starting from the conception of cognitive and social constructivism (Piaget, 1952; Vîgotsky, 1978) and the alternative Reggio Emilia pedagogy (Hewitt, 2001; Moss, 2019), we use the TPACK…

The 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) provides a comprehensive dataset with contextual information on German school environments. The data comes from responses by eighth-grade teachers and principals to a questionnaire about Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for teaching. We performed an exploratory…

The COVID-19 pandemic represented an extraordinary public health emergency, leading to the most profound disruption to education systems in modern history. As higher education institutions expand their post-pandemic online course catalogs, it is necessary first to explore the student outcomes and student perceptions of learning related to the…

The fast development and spread of artificial intelligence (AI) in the education field is prompting educational stakeholders to study how new AI technology will influence teaching and learning. The problem this basic qualitative study will address is the lack of teacher knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) due to limited pedagogy, which is…

This study explores ESL learners' perceptions of using high-variability phonetic training (HVPT) through YouGlish to improve pronunciation skills. Data were collected through an online questionnaire completed by 70 upper-intermediate level ESL learners and semistructured interviews with 20 learners. The collected data were analyzed statistically…

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…

To enable all who participate in educational settings to leverage AI tools for powerful learning, this paper describes a framework and strategies for educational leaders to design and implement a clear approach to AI literacy for their specific audiences (e.g. learners, teachers, or others) that are safe and effective.

This report shares the learnings across 28 exploratory projects from teams across K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and nonprofit and for-profit edtech companies, leveraging AI to support numerous goals across K-12 educational settings. Through this report, we aim to highlight the early successes of AI, surface the key barriers that call for…

Digital narratives have been used to promote target language reading and writing as part of instructed second language teaching. These texts can help break the monotony of more traditional print material and get learners closer to the multimodal practices that are part of their everyday written interactions, including elements such as video,…

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…

Contemporary society is characterized by diversity and intricacy, necessitating more meaningful learning experiences. To meet these evolving needs, the incorporation of computational systems into education must acknowledge the distinctive characteristics of learners. Therefore, we conducted a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) to investigate…

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the change in the conceptual understanding of "artificial intelligence". For this purpose, the determination of the metaphors related to the concept of artificial intelligence in the stages before and after watching the artificial intelligence-themed computer-aided animation developed within the…

Teacher education programs recognize the impact of technology's rise on the process of learning to teach. Prior studies have examined both the effectiveness of specific digital tools and contextual factors in shaping preservice teachers' technology use in classrooms (focusing largely on teacher educators' technology selections, the locations and…

In secondary technology education, models of artifacts, systems and processes, visualized and simulated through digital tools (digital models) are a relatively new element. Technology teachers teach digital models to meet syllabus criteria of digital competence, applicable to for instance problem solving and documentation using digital tools.…

Purpose: The study explores techno-work engagement, which is a positive and fulfilling state of well-being with respect to the use of digital technology at work. It provides insight into the circumstances in which the educational use of ICT enhances work well-being. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 60 Finns from the education sector wrote…
