Due to the ongoing digitalisation of workplaces and educational settings, human activity underpinning learning and work is increasingly mediated by technology. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into everyday technologies influences how people are exposed to information, interact, learn and make decisions. We argue…

This paper uses two complementary examples from an autoethnographic study of learning and sailing to explore some connections between informal lifelong learning activities, their objects (purposes) and the hybrid (digital and material) technologies on which they depend. The examples focus on an aspect of the craft of sailing and on understanding…

Technology devices are increasingly being added by schools as academic resources for students and teachers. These devices are often added with an eye to increasing access and leveling the playing field in terms of digital access. This access is considered by schools to be a competitive advantage, often impacting school rankings and school report…

This causal-comparative study explored if or to what extent student math scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessment differ by students' race and level of technology utilization in seventh-grade students enrolled in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Equity Theory was the theoretical foundation. Archival de-identified data sample of N…

The emerging technologies of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) may have vast implications to societal communication and representation of information. AR/VR computer interfaces are unique in that they may be placed spatially around the user in three-dimensional (3D) space; this affords new methods of both presentation and user interaction with…

There is a digital skill divide in K-12 education. School leaders have struggled to actualize how to lead their teachers and schools for digital age teaching and learning. The purpose of this action research study was to investigate how a district office of instructional technology and digital learning could deepen support for principals to…

In the current world of education, teacher job satisfaction is declining and teacher stress is increasing. Simultaneously, technology is making its way into the classroom at a rapid rate. This study examined whether there was a relationship between teacher motivation to incorporate educational technology and teacher job satisfaction. It also…

This study addressed the problem of whether elementary school teachers are consistently implementing the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards in their pedagogical practices of teaching science. It was evident that half of all teachers in the United States do not consistently implement technology into their…

Critical thinking is embedded in national university graduate outcomes and included in international bodies' statements on higher education. At the same time, there are tensions surrounding critical thinking in higher education, such as its commodification, Eurocentrism, and relationship to rapidly digitalising cultures. Drawing from the…

This assignment is integrated into the generative AI unit of the Emerging Communication Technologies course. It includes step-by-step designs and reflective examples from students, highlighting the evolution of their perceptions of generative AI. The assignment uniquely focuses on understanding and raising awareness of stereotypes present in…

This study aims to identify the mediating effect of collaborative learning on the relationship between Learning Management System (LMS) usage and academic performance among undergraduate students in a public university through the constructivism theory. The study employed a purposive sampling survey method, and 381 valid respondents were…

Psychomotor skill training has traditionally relied on the physical presence of both teacher and learner for effective demonstrations and feedback, posing challenges for remote and self-directed learning. Technological advancements have given rise to immersive learning environments (ILEs), offering novel solutions for interactive and multimodal…

The promotion of lighter skin tones--a form of colorism--has a long and worrisome history. However, little is known about the discourse of colorism outside of Western contexts, especially in languages other than English and in online settings. Therefore, in this study, we applied keyword, collocation, and concordance analysis, alongside inductive…

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of pre-service science teachers regarding technological disasters, including oil tanker accidents, nuclear accidents, fires, fuel-related poisoning, and space accidents. Additionally, efforts have indeed been made to investigate the sources from which teacher candidates acquire the foundational…

Avatars play a significant role in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered education, supported by various human-computer interactions and second language acquisition theories. AI avatars have become increasingly anthropomorphic and realistic with advancements in speech synthesis, speech-driven lip-syncing, and speech-to-facial animation. D-ID Studio…
