The purpose of this study is to contribute to preservice teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). For this purpose, preservice teachers (n = 8) learned visual programming language, designed technology-based reading activities, and observed students completing these activities. A case study approach was employed, and…

Research has shown that online interaction and technology, which has been used to facilitate interaction, affect the success of online learning (Downing, 2012; Harper, 2018; Keengwe et al., 2013; Moore, 1989; Saadatmand et al., 2017). This dissertation aimed to address how a group of exemplary instructors effectively implement technology to…

This study focuses on the content of technology-related courses offered by teacher training institutions to determine the factors that will avoid technology integration in teacher education/training. Two methods are combined in the research. As a first step, the integration of technology in education/teaching models literature was analyzed,…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, to identify and encapsulate the enablers that can facilitate technology integration in higher education and second, to understand and analyze the interplay between technology agility enablers. Design/methodology/approach: The study used the Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (TISM)…

Purpose: The objective of this research is to measure Chinese students' progress in gaining new vocabulary in Spanish at the B1 level after using the serious video game Guadalingo. Design/methodology/approach: A group of 30 Chinese students participated in an experiment, in which 16 of them played Guadalingo; the other 14 were used as the control…

Despite the worldwide increase in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Physical Education (PE) over the past two decades, little is yet known about how these technological aids are being considered and used by PE teachers in developing countries. This study investigated Tunisian PE teachers' technological competencies,…

Considering COVID-19 as a boundary-crossing event, the study sought to bring forward the voices of teacher educators (TEs) in Israel as boundary-crossers. It focused on their sense of self-efficacy, professional learning, and professional identities in COVID-19 circumstances. The results of this nationwide quantitative research (N = 385) revealed…

Success in the field of recreation management requires a variety of 21st-century skills including the abilities to solve complex problems, think creatively, and collaborate with peers. Research suggests that instructor contribution through active learning pedagogy, incorporation of technology, and maximization of classroom design can foster…

This paper argues that the practice of teaching and learning is being re-defined as technology enables a re-imagining of what can be taught, and how it could be taught. In Namibia, demands on mathematics teachers to incorporate technology use into their teaching practice are often mismatched with the curriculum. This theoretical paper proposes…

This paper presents a case study of two sixth-grade students' use of an iPad as an instructional tool for mathematics. Based on their written and oral responses, we investigated and analyzed their meaning making process with mathematical content in a classroom where the iPad was a central tool for teaching practices. The analyses were based on…

This research is identifying and compares the impact of digital transformation on academicians' well-being in public and private Indian universities. To initiate the research, one exogenous construct namely 'virtual transformation in higher education,' and two endogenous constructs called 'workplace well-being' and 'psychological well-being' of…

This study represented dimensions from the diffusion of innovations theory and the community of inquiry model to explore the adoption of web-conferencing. It used logistic regression to model the likelihood of adopting web-conferencing in online teaching with data collected from 66 college online instructors. In the logistic regression analyses,…

While the COVID-19 pandemic brought distance learning to a much wider audience, leading to contingency planning and becoming an unexpected solution for some students, it has also uncovered significant systemic problems and given some a negative outlook on distance learning. Due to the quick but not necessarily effective transition to distance…

There is strong theoretical and empirical support for the use of digital games for learning. Despite their research support, digital games are not widely used in mathematics classrooms. One main contributor to this lack of adoption is the paucity of extant research on the extent to which mathematics teachers are using digital games, how teachers…

In meeting the needs of the new generation of learners, the idea of implementing the use of new technology such as Augmented Reality (AR) in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms can be a step toward in refining the teaching and learning atmosphere. Nevertheless, the use of this technology relies heavily on the teacher's level of…
