A growing number of studies are focusing on the effect of teachers' knowledge on their behavioral intention to use technology in teaching. This study aims to explore the influence of teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) on their behavioral intention to use technology by including their technology self-efficacy and attitude…

The increasing use of digital devices by young children, has led to calls for earlier teaching for information literacy. However, some research indicates reluctance to do this, due to perceived limitations of young children and notions about what is and is not 'appropriate' for them learn. This study examines this proposition, through analysis of…

Crucial for organizations' business performance, 21st-century digital skills have gained prominence. The Covid-19 pandemic's impact on individuals, education, and higher education institutions led to a shift from traditional face-to-face to remote synchronous learning. Students experienced diverse information and communication technologies (ICTs),…

Research has shown how important is for young people to acquire digital competencies that are necessary to successfully participate in society. Still, it has been reported that university students display poor digital competencies and that inequalities resulting from demographic and social factors persist even among young people who have managed…

The digital gender divide is one of the most critical issues in education today. Digital gender gaps can exist in students' access to and use of ICT, attitudes toward technology, and digital knowledge and skills. However, previous research has primarily examined these divides in isolation and largely ignored their interdependencies. Using student…

Digital technologies have increased worldwide in the last years. In addition, the pandemic has strengthened digital technologies' roles in education, requiring twenty-first-century skills, such as digital competence, and indicating a new normal. Digitalisation in education creates opportunities that could lead to positive effects if digital…

To provide a diverse perspective of in-service teachers' TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) and how TPACK is reflected in culturally diverse classrooms, this study examines the influences of teachers' knowledge and understanding of their student's home culture and background on their construction of TPACK. In this study,…

Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM-3), this study concerning VL focuses to examine chemistry teachers' experiences, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, use intentions, actual use, and factors that affect them and to create a model of the real use of VL by chemistry teachers. The research was carried out in the holistic…

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, it has become critical for scholars, educators and practitioners to understand an individual's perceived self-efficacy regarding the use of AI technologies/products. Understanding users' subsequent behaviors toward the advancement of AI technology is also critical. Despite the…

Embedded in society, digital infrastructure has changed citizens' lives. Young people therefore need to develop digital competence and digital citizenship, and schools have an important role in this regard. To prepare new schoolteachers for this role, teacher educators (TEDs) need professional digital competence (PDC) that includes knowledge,…

Teachers teach more effectively when they are constantly updating their subject content knowledge and pedagogy as well as technology. This requires Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training programmes in order to cope with changing world in terms of nature of science, skills and technology. Therefore, the current study sought to…

Uncovering patterns and trends in vast, ever-increasing quantities of data has been enabled by different machine learning methods and techniques used in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Permeating many aspects of our lives and influencing our choices, development in this field continues to advance and increasingly impacts us as individuals…

K-12 artificial intelligence (AI) education requires cultivating students' computational thinking in the school curriculum so as to transfer their computational thinking to diverse problems and authentic contexts. However, students may be limited by traditional computational thinking development activities because they may have a lower degree of…

The digitalisation of education has been emphasised over the last two decades, affecting and developing both the theories and practices of teaching and learning.
