Purpose: This study aims at investigating how digitalisation (in the sense of industry 4.0) has changed the work of farmers and how they experience the changes from more traditional work to digitalised agriculture. It also investigates what knowledge farmers require on digitalised farms and how they acquire it. Dairy farming was used as domain of…

Technological determinism, techno-solutionism and instrumental perspectives on technologies have populated educational research literature in the last decades, and even more since the pandemic crisis has started. This essay offers a critique about simplistic explanations of technology adoption in pedagogy by using insights from critical philosophy…

The purpose of this empirical study was to investigate the effect of two important factors, self-efficacy and ICT infrastructure, on the teachers' ability of ICT use in school pedagogy. The study employed a descriptive survey method within an ex-post-facto research design taking 400 teachers as samples from hundred purposively selected Indian…

360° video offers a valuable tool for bridging the divide between coursework and fieldwork during pre-service teacher (PST) internships. The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of 360° video integration into the scaffolding of PST education. Quantitative feedback from 82 student teachers during a teacher education course showed a…

This study reports on the effects of professional development (PD) training programs on faculty's perceptions and uses of technology for teaching and learning using mixed methods. Collected data include survey questionnaires to faculty at a school of education (N = 47) and focus group interviews on nine participants. The qualitative findings…

With the widespread use of technology in education, the nature and role of technology in the process of learning are becoming increasingly difficult to understand. There is a need to shift the focus of education technology from innovating around tools to innovating around designing new digital learning environments. Designing digital learning…

Despite more funds being spent on technology tools by Lovett ISD for both students and teachers, social studies teachers are not creating lessons that integrate or use technology to transform the task. Instead, students use technology devices such as tablets and Chromebooks as a substitute for paper and pencils. A 2016 curriculum audit of the…

Context: ChatGPT is an AI-based large language model platform capable of mimicking human language patterns by responding to user queries. Although concerns over AI-generated content exist in health care and higher education, the ChatGPT platform can assist athletic training educators in creating academic content to alleviate aspects of their…

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are gaining increasing popularity in education. Due to their increasing popularity, many empirical studies have been devoted to exploring the effects of AI chatbots on students' learning outcomes. The proliferation of experimental studies has highlighted the need to summarize and synthesize the inconsistent…

Offering a heuristic to apprentice young children into the disciplines, we examine how one multiage classroom teacher leveraged the resources of personal digital inquiry to forward students' knowledge building.

Purpose: Multimedia facilitates knowledge acquisition, which has a significant impact on students' learning and is a big potential of information and communication technology. Learning through multimedia has psychological benefits for the learner in addition to being used for recreational learning. To define the cognitive theory of multimedia in…

Technology offers a new set of challenges for Montessori educators, as there are concerns of how freedom within limits can best be applied to technology use and how boundaries can be set for safety while not extinguishing children's natural curiosity. For students to have a comprehensive and meaningful understanding of technology and its benefits…

The AV1 robotic device has a growing evidence base, both internationally and in the UK, for supporting pupils with physical/emotional health needs. The device allows pupils to access their school lessons remotely through telepresence technology. Previous papers have highlighted the growing relevance to the education field, although, to date, there…

Mobile devices have increased exponentially in the past decades and the rapid development of digital technology has provided rich soil for the growth of mobile learning (m-learning), which is a more convenient means of learning because of no limitations of space and time. Applying the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework, this study…

This qualitative study investigated how mixed-reality simulations supported the development of justice-oriented core teaching practices within a large elementary education program. Told from the point-of-view of two methods instructors, using candidates' written and oral reflections, the authors examined the use of Mursion[R] mixed reality…
