Recent research in technology-enhanced learning environments has indicated the need to redefine the role of teachers as designers. This supports successful learners better able to adapt to twenty-first century education, in particular STEM education. However, such a repositioning of teaching as a design science challenges teachers to…

Using an online questionnaire and a series of semi-structured interviews, this study seeks the perceptions of accounting educators and professional accounting bodies in the UK and Ireland on the status quo of technological developments within accounting curricula and the factors influencing this status quo. Findings suggest a fairly widespread…

A literature review specific to family and consumer sciences (FCS) and technology implementation in content delivery reveals an absence of sufficient information for preparing future FCS professionals. Is this absence reflective of an FCS reluctance to "cross the digital divide" and fully engage with students who reside in a world…

A learning management system (LMS) is a critical technology platform for teaching and learning for nearly all institutions of higher education. Although an LMS is a driving force in online courses, it is not given in traditional face-to-face environments. The problem is an underutilization of an LMS in face-to-face higher education courses. This…

Engineering education has traditionally focused on the development of technical skills and knowledge. Nowadays, the need for educating engineers in non-technical skills, such as reflective thinking, is being recognised internationally. This paper proposes that socio-cultural impacts of technology be studied together with the technology itself…

In China, teachers' ability to adopt information and communication technology (ICT) when teaching is far from satisfying. Previous studies on teachers' ability to integrate ICT and teaching in China ignored the factors in the process of teachers' ICT application and lacked the systematic analysis of the factors. ICT application is affected by…

Information and communication technology has been accepted as a powerful tool that transforms education. The emergence of new and innovative uses of technology provides new approaches to social studies teaching. Many governments have invested vast amounts of money to enhance schools with technology and provide them with Internet access to…

Productive, equitable, and reciprocal librarian-faculty partnerships are difficult to establish for a range of reasons. This case study describes a long-term collaboration between a Digital Humanities (DH) librarian and a History professor. We trace our two-year partnership from inception and test-run in a small undergraduate seminar to a…

Reflecting on an education technology conference we attended in an Atlantic Canadian province, we problematize four major assumptions that we encountered at the conference: 1) The benefits of technology integration are educationally determinative; 2) Private industry and capital can fund technological innovation in schools without compromising…

There are many potential educational goals for using digital technologies in health professional education programs. Previous studies have suggested that technology can be used in these settings to facilitate knowledge acquisition, improve clinical decision making, improve psychomotor skill coordination, and practice rare or critical scenarios.…

This conceptual paper explores the concept of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in relation to the teaching of 21st century skills with a purpose of establishing a relationship between them. Due to the advancement and development of industrial revolution and technology, the education scenario also changes towards 21st century…

The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation among teachers' perceived acceptance of technological innovation, organisations' innovation climate, and innovative teaching using information and communication technology (ICT) in Taiwan. The participants (N = 482) responded to a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale for each factor,…

School districts are adopting educational technology products at an increasing rate over the years. As more and more products become available, school districts face the challenge of identifying and evaluating programs to meet students' needs, while ed-tech providers compete for access to decision makers. The present mixed methods study sought to…

Anatomy education forms the foundation of a successful medical education. This has necessitated the development of innovative ideas to meet up with current realities. Despite these innovative ideas, there are challenges facing anatomy education, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Problems such as inadequate teaching experts and outdated curricula…

Basic and secondary schools in developing African countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya are gradually being equipped with computers to facilitate teaching and learning. It has however been observed that some necessary preliminary considerations implied by the Technology Acceptance Model have been undermined by stakeholders. Consequently, many…
