Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Education Sciences entitled Technology Enhanced Learning and Evaluation: A Global Perspective.

Currently, we have entered an era of technology which plays a significant role in our life and has impacted almost every field, including education with both opportunities and challenges especially since the outbreak of COVID-19. Technology is so powerful that it is changing many aspects of the traditional teaching. Instead of carrying out face to face only, teachers gradually began to combine hybrid face-to-face and virtual strategies. Students have more autonomy in learning and they can choose when, where and what to learn. To learn well, they need self-regulating strategies and learn to monitor their learning. Accordingly, the evaluation mechanism needs to be innovated in order to better know about and promote students’ learning performance.

This Special Issue aims to provide a lively forum for debate and reflection on a wide range of issues connected with how teaching, learning and evaluation is carried out enhanced by technology.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Technology-enhanced learning strategies/methods
  • Technology-enhanced teaching practices in different educational contexts
  • Technology-enhanced assessment and evaluation systems
  • E-learning policies and administration
  • Technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPCK)
  • Teacher professional development
  • Challenges, future of Technology-enhanced learning
  • Cooperative or collaborative learning

Teacher Education students, at the bachelor’s and post-graduate level, complete programs that expose them to educational theories and best teaching practices. However, the extant literature has repeatedly demonstrated that many preservice teachers (PST) are unprepared to apply such knowledge to real-world educational settings. The problem may be particularly acute when it comes to the use of technology in classrooms. Given increasing government investment in technology and the burgeoning digital industries, teachers can play a critical role in demonstrating the effective use of technology in the course of teaching and learning. This study used a survey based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model to evaluate PSTs self-perceived competencies in integrating technology into their teaching practices. Over a span of two years, PSTs enrolled in a unit offering six weeks’ professional experience were invited to respond to the survey and rate their cognizance of relevant teaching practices. Respondents indicated some familiarity with TPACK, but significant gaps were also evident. Moreover, despite the lack of significant differences among age groups in PSTs perceived ability to apply the TPACK model, noticeable differences were observed in their experiences regarding gender and prior employment.
