In the context of massive open online courses (MOOCs), searching and retrieving information can be challenging because there is a huge amount of unstructured content, which creates a problem and makes it difficult for users to quickly find relevant lessons or resources. As a result, learners and teachers face significant barriers to accessing the…

Despite the enormous investment in educational technology research, there are sincere questions about whether it is having a meaningful effect on issues that really matter. Put simply, is education better because of us? In this paper we argue that our field is not having the impact it could, due largely to our instrumentalist approach to ed tech…

The research model, which aims to determine the correlation between the level of teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use and the level of technology acceptance and use and to what extent teacher candidates taking teacher educators as role models in technology use predicts technology acceptance and use, is a…

The research analyzes opportunities of current trends in the educational sphere at the global level formed under the influence of the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution and contemporary force majeure factors (the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions).

We introduce the free web-app PyGgb -- the combination of the well-known programming language Python and the dynamic mathematics system GeoGebra. Motivated by the desire to provide an introduction to Python coding in the familiar context of mathematics and geometry, PyGgb allows GeoGebra constructions to be created using Python code. We outline…

Previous research on technology implementation in rural schools has focused on two types of challenges: (1) access to internet-ready technological devices and the infrastructure to operate them and (2) teacher attitudes and beliefs about technologies. This research drew on posthumanism to explore tensions that emerged as technological devices were…
