Since the 1980s, research about technological integration in education has relied on models that position teachers as inherently anxious and/or resistant. These models posit that the key to successful preparation and development is helping teachers accept that they must abandon their concerns and use these technologies regardless of personal and…

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning process has been the subject of extensive research in the past few decades. Many studies have discussed the benefits of ICT for teachers and learners. However, little is known about the main factors that influence teachers' attitudes toward the use of ICT in…

Digital education refers to in-person, blended, and fully online learning efforts, as well as attempts to capture a wide range of teaching and learning contexts which make use of digital technology. While digital education is pervasive in Canada, pan-Canadian data on digital education are relatively scarce. The Canadian Digital Learning Research…

This study focuses on the politics of time in education by analysing 'The Future School' reports published by Nordic state authorities between 2010 and 2015. Building on a system-theoretical understanding of social time, steering and second-order observations, we investigate how temporal political communication frames the future of Nordic basic…

The higher education experience was markedly different than usual for those enrolling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher education institutions of all kinds found their instructional methods profoundly disrupted by the closure of their physical campuses, and the crisis exposed the urgent need for policy makers and institutional leaders to adjust…

To identify factors that can contribute toward supporting educator adoption of digital technologies beyond the emergency remote teaching response to COVID-19, we investigated how teachers' motivation and abilities related to the use of digital technologies for teaching changed since the onset of the pandemic. Two surveys and interviews were…

Despite the increasing evidence illustrating the benefits teachers can reap from incorporating digital multimodal composing (DMC) into classrooms through collaborative action research (CAR), scant attention has been given to how teachers collaborate with each other, what challenges they may encounter and how they cope with such challenges in CAR.…

This article's interest is to approach the impact and changes occurred by integrating digital pedagogical practices in the Moroccan higher educational system. The paper emphasizes the use of digital technology in the university curriculum, and how the latter shaped students' behavior as well as learning development. Our research methodology is…

This paper presents findings from a survey of 774 government school teachers across Tanzania over the period 2020-2021. The aims were to capture teachers' recent experiences concerning (1) access and use of technology; (2) any student learning losses observed, and teachers' recommendations to address lost learning; and (3) experiences and needs…

The abrupt shift of teaching and learning to the online mode due to the COVID-19 outbreak has inevitably called for technology integration to better engage students in online instruction. This call includes the possibility to enact podcast in an English as a foreign language (EFL) class, particularly in speaking. However, despite the increasing…

The administrative processes are defined by the single text of administrative procedures (TUPA), which guarantee the delivery of services to users. Unfortunately, in the public university there are barriers that affect their execution generating considerable delays. The success in the issuance of services is measured by the level of service and…

Pre-service teachers of the 21st century are expected to be equipped with both pedagogical and digital competence. In fact, teacher education programs should give prospective teachers the opportunity of becoming the designers of their own lessons instead of dictating them certain ways of integrating technology. The pre-service teacher education…

Teacher educators often encourage technology integration as a means to improve education. However, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the acceleration of more invasive technologies offering quick "fixes" in schools and society. Building on the assumption that technologies are not neutral and neither are the societies into which they are…

COVID-19 taught us the importance of personalized ICT use in the higher education context. In this scenario, the importance of researching student's ICT behaviour is becoming ever more crucial. This study investigates the influence of student alienation (SAL), socio-economic status, residential background, type of course, and gender on students'…

This paper presents findings from an on-going international study (Australia and Finland) of preschool teachers' beliefs and pedagogical practices in the integration of technology to engage young children in learning science. Scarcely used in early childhood education research, this study is framed using Mishra and Koehler's (2006) Technological…
