"Technology at the level of university education has become an important basis for designing educational curricula, and it is considered one of the most essential elements of teaching in our time, especially creative teaching based on employing critical thinking skills and problem-solving method. The use of technological applications and…

Universities use learning management systems (LMS) to support teaching practices and add value to the educational system. A leading university in the gulf region (XYZ) provides support for faculty members (FMs) through its Center of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), where experts respond to their enquiries on how to use the LMS features.…

Reflecting on data from a longitudinal connective ethnographic study exploring how six lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youths mobilized digital literacies to write against injustice, this article uses autoethnographic methods to trace desire as a co-constructed text in qualitative research. More specifically, it complicates…

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a textbook preparation process supported by instructional technology tools on the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) self-confidence level of prospective Social Studies teachers. The research was carried out using a sequential descriptive design with a mixed method design.…

The study aimed to examine the pre-service teachers' cognitive flexibility levels and techno-pedagogical education competencies in terms of several variables and to determine whether there is a relationship between their cognitive flexibility levels and techno-pedagogical education competencies. Determining whether the relationship between the…

With a plethora of technology available to support teaching and learning, preservice teachers are expected to become well-versed in technology literacy and competencies through their teacher education programs. This study examined preservice teachers' perceptions of technology competencies, based on newly issued International Society for…

There are teachers that have technology in their classrooms that is underutilised or not used at all because of factors like technical problems, lack of training or support or teachers' negative attitudes. This study wanted to determine the impact of the use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in primary and secondary urban classrooms in Pretoria,…

Recognizing that digital citizenship includes the capacity to foster growth opportunities and also, can help to minimize risks and divides from the use of digital technology is essential for today's society and education.

Digital literacy competence (DL) is an important capacity for students' learning in a rapidly changing world. However, little is known about the empirical structure of DL. In this paper, we review major DL assessment frameworks and explore the dimensionality of DL from an empirical perspective using assessment data collected using authentic…

This study investigated the possible factors that predict e-learning integration into the teaching and learning of science subjects among preservice science teachers. A unified e-learning integration model was developed in which factors such as attitude, intention, skill and flow experience served as precursors of e-learning integration. This was…

The use of digital media in adult education is very heterogeneous. To date, there are no empirical studies that have examined the possibility that media-related differences in media usage of adult educators could be in part due to differential media pedagogical attitudes of adult educators. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical evidence to…

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to propose and test a model in which perceived barriers to technology integration are handled within a broad framework. It can be argued that the proposed model will have the dynamics to examine the studies performed on technology integration in a generic way and to have an important place in explaining the…

The growing popularity of mobile technologies in educational settings, from grade schools through college, has prompted science educators to prepare preservice teachers to successfully integrate technology into science teaching. This mixed-methods study explores the effectiveness of a mobile technology-based physics curriculum, Exploring Physics,…

Having a higher level of digital literacy can contribute to students' better outcomes in first-year composition. However, some underprepared and financially disenfranchised students may not have digital literacy skills nor own a portable computing device, such as a tablet, to engage their coursework. This three-year, mixed methods study of 292…

Technology education in New Zealand has evolved from a subject with technical beginnings, to be a learning area with the potential to develop the types of knowledge and capabilities that students are likely to need in a technologically mediated future. The recent review of the technology education curriculum, and proposed changes for our schooling…
