Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Schools around the world have been digitalized as a reflection of an overall societal digitalization. Digital technologies have been integrated into many classrooms and have become as natural for educational practices as any other historical tool in schools. In the meantime, however, research and technology development is taking place at a rapid pace, further advancing the imaginaries of the future classroom. Examples of such development strands are AI, learning analytics, and IoT for education. For this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers that relate to, on the one hand, emergent advanced technologies, and, on the other hand, how they can or have been employed to transform and support K-12 education with a particular focus on classroom practices. As such, we welcome theoretical papers that provide critical or conceptual ideas as well as empirical work that showcase the potentials of the emerging advanced technologies for future classrooms. What role can AI have in supporting teachers’ daily work or for supporting students’ learning? How can IoT be utilized to support classroom work? How can learning analytics be utilized in K-12 education? These are examples of questions and aspects we foresee that this Special Issue will address.
