Background: Information and communication technologies (ICT) have the potential to improve healthcare outcomes. Providing safe and efficient healthcare services through ICT requires comprehensive use. Education and training are considered significant factors to accepting ICT, and ultimately, to comprehensively use ICT applications. Research…

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has profoundly impacted and transformed how schools operate, teach, and learn. Those without access to new technologies are cut off from the huge dividends that ICT provides, commonly referred to as the digital divide. The digital divide is a complex and layered phenomenon, which extends…

Despite the technical competence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) graduates of the Department of Computer Science (DCS) at the University of Guyana, stakeholders' perception generally holds that they lack affective and behavioural (soft) skills. These soft skills are expected of them to lead and champion technological change in…

Some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) aim to designate the information and communication technology (ICT) sector as a central pillar to expedite their economic development, and a key element of ICT sector development is to nurture capable ICT workers. Scholars and policymakers concerned with those ICT workers tend to focus on nurturing…

The purpose of this action research was to explore the information and communication technology (ICT) literacy skills of first-year minority students at Saint Augustine's University in order to develop a plan for an ICT professional development program. ICT skills are essential in our rapidly-changing and technology-driven society. While there is…

The integration of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and multimedia has become a popular area of research in higher education and in the context of English language teaching and learning. The problem addressed in this study was that English as a second language (ESL) teachers encounter barriers and challenges in integrating ICTs and…

Children can experience unintentional injuries due to safety threats found in their environments (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008). Researchers have shown that children can be taught safety responses using behavioral skills training (BST) and in situ training (IST). Within the safety skills literature, there is evidence that…

More research on information and communications technology (ICT) use for teaching and learning is needed, particularly since the almost global transition from traditional face-to-face to virtual classrooms forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The problem addressed in this current qualitative project study was the reported challenges experienced by…

Broadband internet increases the hourly wages of college-educated workers. However, little is known about how broadband internet affects the wages of workers with different college majors. I combine several Norwegian data sets to answer this question. A public program with limited funding rolled out broadband infrastructure and provided plausibly…

Administrative leaders in traditional schools have failed to manage resources, implement best practices, and successfully integrate information communication technology (ICT) platforms into K-12 programs. The purpose of this qualitative, transcendental phenomenological study was to explore and discover the lived experiences of administrative…

The impact of COVID-19 and the global social distancing restrictions in place since March of 2019 in the United States are still being studied. The current knowledge suggests that traditional learning has a positive impact on subjective perceptions on quality of life (PQoL), that ICT (Information and Communications Technology)-based learning…

The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive study was to explore how teachers described their experiences using ICT to help students build upon previous knowledge and stay active when constructing knowledge in reading in Title I schools. Constructivism was the learning theory used for this study. The research questions for the present study were:…

This study investigated the relationship between teachers' mindsets (growth mindset and fixed mindset), teachers' digital competence, teachers' age, gender, years of teaching experience, and information and communication technology (ICT) use in teaching in elementary schools, in a city located at the Northwest region of Saudi Arabia. This study…

With the large demand for technology workers all around the world, more people are learning programming. Studies show that human tutoring is the most effective way to learn for novice programmers. However, problems such as the inaccessibility to physical classes, prohibitive costs, and the lack of educators may limit students' opportunities to…

Currently, COVID-19 poses a threat to the US and the rest of the world, which has created the need for many people to establish physical distance from others. This need for physical distance is perhaps most important for those most vulnerable to COVID-19, which includes the older adult population. Through this time of physical isolation, most…
