Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in professional practice is regarded as the latest disruption to challenge ethical, societal, economic, and educational paradigms. It is becoming a contemporary narrative in our healthcare and educational discourse as it is thought to improve decision-making, education, patient care, and service delivery. If…

The current study explores metaverse adoption among higher education institutions (HEIs) in the light of a theoretical framework to empower future perspectives of the metaverse as a learning platform. Even though this technology was just recently introduced to the higher education sector, very few attempts have been made to evaluate its impact.…

Taking a "less is more" approach to technology adoption may seem counterintuitive for online education, but the intelligent integration of tools that enhance the learning experience for students can be achieved without ignoring technological growth. Educators must have a clear understanding of the goals of their classrooms and should…

This paper examines the pedagogical integration of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), to identify best practice and improve online pedagogy. It has captured the perspectives of 12 Health and Earth Science university teachers, through in-depth interviews, about the current integration of the VM in online teaching,…

This study seeks to understand better how e-leadership, technology acceptance and technological self-efficacy contribute to improved teacher attitudes in using virtual learning environments. The method used was quantitative with structural equation modeling with SmartPLS 3.2.8. The population of this study consisted of 1,570 teachers in the Malang…

This study aims to analyze the experiences of creating the metaverse classroom on pre-service EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers' technological acceptance and affordance, as well as their perception of its potential for language learning and teaching. To achieve this purpose, this study utilized an in-depth analysis of survey and…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now affecting all aspects of our social lives. Without always knowing it, we interact daily with intelligent systems. They serve us invisibly. At least that is the goal we assign to them: to make our lives better, task by task. Artificial intelligence has the potential to make biology education more engaging,…

This study explores how preservice (PST) English language arts teachers fostered dialogue in virtual classrooms by using both dialogic and digital tools. Qualitative analysis of PST-created transcripts and lesson plan reflections revealed successes and challenges PSTs experienced in supporting students' participation and response to others' ideas.…

Data-based decision-making is a well-established field of research in education. In particular, the potential of data use for addressing heterogeneous learning needs is emphasized. With data collected during the learning process of students, teachers gain insight into the performance, strengths, and weaknesses of their students and are potentially…

Effective teaching demands educators to have multifarious competencies and skills, which is quite challenging. Lots of research examining the difficulties relating to these concerns has been carried out in traditional faceto-face educational settings notably by focusing on classroom management skills and technological proficiency which are…

The paper presents a theoretical framework of four digital learning spaces: Individual space, Working group, Community of interest, and Open connections. The theoretical framework aims to highlight the unique potentials of digital technologies to expand learning activities. More specifically, the framework contributes with descriptions of specific…

The problem addressed through this qualitative study was that middle school teachers in a suburban public school district in the southern United States were inconsistently using Google Classroom in their classrooms. At the project site, middle school teachers were creating a blended learning environment; however, administrators expected them to…

Many people consider teaching a calling; the profession is predicated on helping others while yielding little personal gain. A teacher's primary goal is to deliver a valuable and engaging educational opportunity. The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020 created challenges to reaching this goal for many teachers across the United States…

Although previous research on Virtual Reality (VR) demonstrated the effects of particular learning environment characteristics on learning, none of these studies constructed their virtual learning environment from a constructive alignment perspective. Therefore, this experimental study aims to investigate the impact of a constructively aligned…

This paper provides theoretical reflections and recommendations for implementing smart learning spaces in schools. Learning resource networks are enlarging students' opportunities for exploring alternative formal, non-formal and informal education, in physical and virtual learning spaces, inside and outside traditional classrooms. Smart Pedagogy…
