Understanding the influence of context in technology integration from teacher educators’ perspective
2021
The perspective of teachers is important for advancing the use of technology in classrooms. A considerable number of research studies have explained context in ways that have narrowed the understanding of its impact on successful technology integration. This study employs the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model as a lens in understanding factors influencing teachers’ integration of technology in classrooms. Data were collected using focused interviews of 19 teacher educators of three colleges of education from the southern part of Nigeria. The results reveal that among the level contexts, the meso level presented the most challenges to teachers’ efforts at integrat…
La actitud del vendedor ante las innovaciones tecnológicas y su influencia en su desempeño en las ventas
2017
El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar cómo la actitud que tienen los vendedores ante la tecnología puede representar un factor decisivo en la implementación de los procesos de automatización de la fuerza de ventas (AFV). Se parte del modelo de aceptación tecnológica (tam, por su sigla en inglés), que asume que la actitud viene determinada por la utilidad percibida y por la facilidad de uso de esta, e introducimos como novedad en el modelo su relación con el desempeño. Se contrasta el modelo conceptual en una muestra de vendedores colombianos a través de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados establecen que la percepción de la facilidad de uso de la tecnología influye posi…
Comparing technology acceptance of K‐12 teachers with and without prior experience of learning management systems : A Covid‐19 pandemic study
2021
Covid-19 pandemic has caused a massive transformation in K-12 settings towards online education. It is important to explore the factors that facilitate online teaching technology adoption of teachers during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to compare Learning Management System (LMS) acceptance of Finnish K-12 teachers who have been using a specific LMS as part of their regular teaching before the Covid-19 pandemic (experienced group) and teachers who started using it for emergency remote teaching during the pandemic (inexperienced group). Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology framework, a self-report questionnaire was administered to 196 teachers (nexperienc…

However, little is known about the determinant factors of public acceptance of stress management in relation to preferences for psychological services.ObjectiveThe aim of this survey study was to (1) assess determinant factors of public acceptance (behavioral use intention) of stress management apps based on an adapted and extended version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and (2) explore preferences for mHealth apps compared with other mental health services.MethodsUsing convenience samp…
How teachers’ practices and students’ attitudes towards technology affect mathematics achievement: results and insights from PISA 2012
2018
The present work seeks to deepen the impact of factors linked to the characteristics of teaching practices and students' attitudes towards the use of technology on their performance in mathematics in the process of teaching-learning in the Spanish context. In this sense, this study is a secondary analysis of the PISA 2012 data. Therefore, it is an ex post facto design. Regarding the attitudes and the contextual variables, the results do coincide with the accumulated evidence. However, once these contextual effects have been controlled for, the negative relationship found between the pedagogic strategies used by the teachers and the mathematics score cannot but convey perplexity, since the r…
L’innovazione tecnologica e il Faculty Development.
2023
La crisi pandemica ha accelerato la diffusione di ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati dall'uso intensivo della tecnologia. Questa novità rappresenta un obiettivo trasversale della professionalizzazione del docente universitario, con una particolare declinazione sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo quale questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. Il contributo illustra i risultati di una ricerca condotta con 119 docenti universitari neoassunti e 20 Direttori di dipartimento. La finalità della ricerca è stata, da una parte, rilevare la percezione dei docenti neoassunti relativa alle proprie competenze didattiche, metacognitive e valutative, con riferimento alla di…
State of the art about use of IoT in education
2018
Every day the devices connected autonomously to the communication networks are increased. New applications arise for this type of interconnected objects, thus offering new alternatives for solutions of any kind, through the use of technology based on ubiquitous computing. That is why this work is inspired by these new technologies for its application in the educational field, with the purpose of contributing to the imposition of the use of IoT as a tool1 in the classroom.

What Can Research on Technology for Learning in Vocational Educational Training Teach Media Didactics?
2013
Information technology is essential in modern societies; this also applies for educational institutions, as they reflect society’s (schooling) values and intentions. Learners are influenced by the use of technology; even if information technology is not always consciously or intentionally applied, it is literally an actual part of everyday life.
Designing patient education and counseling practices
2013
Patient education and counselling are essential constituents of interaction between a patient and a healthcare organisation. This study explores patient education and counselling practices, focusing on the opportunities of modern technology in the development of interaction with patients. With the help of a qualitative study we illustrate nurses' conceptions about the topic and discuss future opportunities. Our approach is distinctively patient centred; all discussion about the use of technology is from the point-of-view of patient's well-being and empowerment.
