This study examined the effects of a technology-enhanced intervention on the self-regulation of 262 eighth-grade students, employing information and communication technology (ICT) and web-based self-assessment tools set against science learning. The data were analyzed using Bayesian structural equation modeling to unravel the intricate…

Districts and schools are spending millions of dollars on technology, training, and professional development each year; however, a disconnect between technology use and good pedagogy remains. The one-shot, sit-and-get professional development model has not provided CrossRoads Intermediate School's teachers the necessary skills and knowledge to…

This study explored correlations between Virginia K-8 teachers' confidence in computer science (CS) teaching and their confidence in technology teaching using a quantitative, nonexperimental, explanatory research design. Two constructs of the Teacher Efficacy and Attitudes Toward STEM Survey (Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, 2012b)…

The effectiveness of digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) has been recognized by scholars. With the development of computer technology and multimedia learning environments, computer agents have been widely used in game systems to provide learning guidance or assistance. A computer agent is a virtual character created in a digital learning…

The purpose of this study was to measure teacher self-efficacy--that is, teachers' confidence in implementing one-to-one learning with Chromebooks and creating engaging lessons--to discover what training and/or materials, if any, are required to successfully implement a one-to-one Chromebook program at a middle school in Dutchess County, New York.…

In today's world, technology and digital media are no longer separate, "other" than "natural" human and social life. Technology has become pervasive, transparent, reaching a "stable" form, no longer revolutionary. A new concept, "the post-digital," is emerging and gradually taking hold in a wide range of…

Using technology in the 1:1 classroom has been a focus of scholars and has become the educational standard for many schools, especially those in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, researchers have demonstrated that even though access to laptops is no longer an issue in many schools, there remains low integration of engaging activities in the…

One-to-one devices provide the opportunity to develop 21st century skills, improve academic learning, access information, and increase student independence. Prior to the one-to-one initiative, device use among the teachers of students with dyslexia had included low-level integration. The administration at this site made the decision to implement a…

The goal of this study was to examine how two groups of middle school students' self-efficacy, interest, goal orientation, and prior experience related to evidence of their building upon existing ideas and code in digital artifacts they created using MIT's App Inventor, a computational practice that Brennan and Resnick (2012) identified as…

This phenomenological research study explored how teachers perceive technology integration in their classrooms and examined factors contributing to teacher reluctance and apprehension toward technology integration. This study centered on teachers' perceptions of the learning management system (LMS) Google Classroom. The problem that this study…

Schools increasingly use educational technology, such as laptop computers, as tools to enhance learning. However, the introduction of educational technology in the classroom can also interfere with the learning process by distracting students through multitasking. Multitasking, or switching back and forth between two different tasks, distracts the…

Lack of awareness about the interconnections between Science, Technology, and Society and students' dislike of studying science have led to many environmental and social problems. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, students experienced difficulties accessing educational resources and demanded new programs to support their academic science experiences.…

Visuospatial (VS) skills, or one's ability to mentally manipulate information about objects' positions, relations, orientation, and transformations in space, are one of the cornerstones of STEM enrollment, retention, and achievement. Low level of visuospatial skills may deter some people from joining the STEM workforce or complicate their learning…

How can teachers be inspired to integrate technology properly into their teaching? As technology has been playing a more crucial role in classrooms, it is highly necessary to investigate how teachers perceive the benefit of technology and feel confident to use it. The present study focused on teachers' self-efficacy and belief regarding mobile…

The aim of this case study was to investigate what happens in science classrooms when teaching is almost entirely based on the use of digital technology. Two secondary school science teachers participated, together with their seventh grade classes. Data were collected through eight observation sessions (altogether about 9.5 h) and 9 h of…
