Purpose: The study examines how teachers and school administrative staff perceive external and internal barriers to the implementation of technologies into the teaching process and how teachers and school administrative staff technology readiness is related to these perceptions. These data were used for discussion and construction of an…

Instructional videos are increasingly part of the teaching practices of educators across all sectors. The most common theoretical lens used to design and evaluate instructional videos has been to apply principles emerging from the cognitive theory of multimedia learning. However, these principles have been largely developed from research using…

The recent technological revolution, often referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution or the Second Machine Age, has brought significant changes in both the knowledge production process and its outputs. These changes have raised the question of whether a doctoral degree will retain its unique value as a knowledge creator in the future. In…

Purpose: In this paper the authors share, and reflect critically on, the experience of using digital storytelling (DS) methods in a South African township. We interrogate the innovations prompted as we operationalized DS in a context that has historically prized collectivist values and that experiences chronic resource constraints.…

Robotics activities engage students in critical and computational thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, as well as engineering and computer science. By integrating robotics into disciplinary courses, educators offer these opportunities to a wider range of students. However, teachers may be less likely to use new technology without evidence…

This article explores the potential of digital technology to advance democratic citizenship. Drawing on critical theory and following a critical, comparative qualitative study which examined the relationships among digital technology, education, and democracy in the US and Israel, the authors explore epistemological assumptions of teaching and…

The TESOL Technology Standards were developed for language teachers to better understand how to use technology appropriately. This article explores the following questions: (1) After 10 years since its publication, are the TESOL Technology Standards for Language Teachers (2011) still applicable to the current educational context? and (2) What…

The relevance of the subject under study lies in the use of the latest educational technologies in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. As a consequence, the study focuses on the concept of teaching technology in the psychological and educational literature and on identifying the most optimal teaching programme for institutions of higher…

Never before has technology played such a central role in education. In 2020, seemingly over night, technology took centre stage in the delivery of not just some education, but all education and the metaphors to describe this time leaned heavily on catastrophic terms of revolution, tsunami, and disruption. But why do apocalyptic metaphors abound…

This qualitative case study seeks to uncover the groundwork that was laid which enabled one school district to implement a major change initiative, the implementation of 1:1 technology, in a significantly short period of time. Given the slow nature of change in education, this initiative was successfully executed in four months from the time…

Since the phenomenal success of deep neural networks (DNNs) on image classification, the research community have been developing wider and deeper networks with complex components for a variety of visual understanding tasks. While such "heavy" models achieve excellent performance, they pose two main challenges: (1) the training requires a…

The technology acceptance model (TAM) was used in this study to evaluate the faculty's perceptions of online learning. This study adopted a deductive approach that involved a move from theory formulation to data gathering. This study utilized a descriptive, correlational design to describe the study variables, which included the participants'…

This study uses an institutional logics lens to identify, define, and apply logics of educational technology to better understand mechanisms of educational change in schools. Educational technology has the potential to foster changes to teaching, learning, and leading to create schools with deeper, more equitable, student-centered, and authentic…

The cultivation of critical thinking with the assistance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools has drawn much attention from researchers and practitioners in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). With the purpose of exploring whether the application could help improve students' critical thinking and…

In Education 5.0, teaching with Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) is more than substituting old technologies like the blackboard with interactive boards. The use of technology is more of an enabler to add value and increase effectiveness to improve learning. Nevertheless, most teachers are still lacking on the know-how of…
