Teacher Educators’ Acceptance and Pedagogical Use of ICT: The Role of Social Influence, System Characteristics, and Individual Differences
type: item
description: The pedagogical integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Colleges of Education (COEs) has a cascading effect on educational practice across all levels of education. Despite various polices on ICT integration in teacher education, the pedagogical integration of ICT in CoEs remains inconsistent. This study investigated the effect of social, system and individual factors on the tutors' acceptance and actual use of ICT. The gap between acceptance and the actual use behaviour of tutors was also studied. Using a validated questionnaire, a random sample of 109 tutors was surveyed for the study. The result showed a significant gap between a high level of ICT acceptance (M = 4.49) and low actual use of ICT for instruction (M = 3.99; t = 8.661, p < .001). A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that social influence, system characteristics, and individual differences account for 32.6% of the variance in ICT acceptance. Among these factors, social influence emerged as the most significant predictor (β = .561, p < .001). However, social influence and individual characteristics accounted for 23.8% of the variance in actual use of ICT, but system characteristics had no significant effect. From the findings of the study, the provision of infrastructure and policy alone is not enough to drive ICT integration in CoEs, continuous professional development programmes, collaborative peer support and institutional support are recommended to bridge the gap between acceptance and actual use of ICT in teacher education.

A Systematic Review of Educational Recommender Systems: Techniques, Target Users, and Emerging Trends in Personalized Learning
type: item
description: This systematic review investigates the state of educational recommender systems (ERS) to synthesize trends, techniques, user focus, and research gaps in the domain. Guided by the PRISMA (Page et al., 2021) checklist, relevant studies were selected and analyzed based on key elements such as the recommendation techniques employed, target user groups, and application contexts. The thematic synthesis revealed that machine learning remains the most widely adopted approach, particularly classifiers, clustering, and ensemble methods. Collaborative filtering, hybrid models, and ontology-based approaches featured prominently, though techniques such as deep learning and genetic algorithms were underutilized despite their potential. Most systems primarily targeted students, with relatively limited attention given to educators, administrators, and lifelong learners. Application areas such as course selection, career guidance, curriculum development, and digital literacy support were observed. However, challenges such as limited inclusivity, contextual adaptability, and the underrepresentation of workplace learners were noted. The findings underscore the need for more inclusive, scalable, and context-aware recommender systems. The review highlights opportunities for advancing digital literacy, helping users to navigate through digital tools, especially in the workplace and non-formal learning environments, and calls for future research to explore ethical, explainable, and cross-regionally deployable ERS frameworks. The study contributes a comprehensive synthesis that informs both the academic discourse and practical development of personalized, user-centered educational recommender systems.

Software Development using AI Supercharged Code-free Tools: Necessary Skills for Tech-driven Environments
type: item
description: Researchers in the humanities and social sciences avoid exploration of certain questions for lack of skills in developing software and computational tools needed. At best, they adapt tools developed for other purposes, at worst they recoil from research tasks for lack of tools to pursue those questions. Although technology permeates every facet of life today, with application development and use predicted to increase exponentially, software development is still not a foreground issue in the humanities and social sciences. It is imperative that scholars develop skills in application development to answer unique research questions. Humanities and social sciences need customizable software to tap into idiosyncrasies of research subjects, to explore difficult or time-consuming questions by analyzing text at scale or by deploying computational power to bring new insights to research questions. Scholars need to articulate questions they want to answer, isolate, and codify elements constituting data then enhancing research with software far more than worrying about writing code. No code development platforms help in faster application development with very little programming knowledge. Advancements in graphical user interfaces, API integrations supercharged with Artificial Intelligence capabilities, make easy-to-develop no code software powerful to meet unique research needs in humanities and social science research.

Creating Mixed Reality Scenarios to Assess Danielson’s Fourth Domain
type: item
description: This paper describes how a teacher preparation program overcame an identified challenge- limited student access to field placements - by creating an original mixed reality scenario (MRS) that immerses learners in real-time teaching situations. In this case, a virtual Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting that requires special education majors to collaborate as a member of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to establish annual goals and specially designed instruction to meet a fictitious student’s academic, social, or behavioral needs. Student perception surveys were used to determine the authenticity, relevance, and applicability of the MRS. The original tool was found to be an effective performance evaluation to assess skills aligned with Danielson’s fourth domain, Principled Teaching. The components of this domain were previously regarded as a difficult skills to develop and assess in preservice teaching. The use of this MRS redefines teacher preparation by providing authentic learning opportunities for special education majors to practice skills in a professional learning environment that were not previously available to them.

Gender Lens in STEM Education: General Overview of Access, Distribution, and Disparities
type: item
description: All educational levels in Ghana have seen an increase in student enrollment over time. Students' enrollment in STEM programs continues to lag behind that of the arts and humanities, even with this increase. In addition, women lag behind men in STEM programs. Utilizing archival records from multiple sources, the study provided insight into Ghana's STEM education inequalities. Owing to FCUBE and free SHS, gender equality has been achieved at the JHS and SHS level. In spite of this, there are gender differences in STEM education at the higher level. The fundamental cause is that financial aid, the WASSCE pass rate, and other variables affect higher education access and continuation. The study recommends that unless gender sensitive and not gender target measures are put in place to bridge the disparities, differences in STEM will continue.

Exploring the Relationship between Job Satisfaction, Workplace AI Use, and Retention
type: item
description: This study explores the relationship between job satisfaction level and customer retention among the employees of IT company. We conducted a cross-sectional study through a questionnaire-based online survey to collect data from the IT company employees of Bangladesh. Purposive sampling was adopted for office selection (N = 6), and simple random sampling were adopted for participants selection. A total of 550 complete responses were identified for analysis. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted utilizing excel and SPSS(v26). The mean age of the participant was 25 (SD = 4.12) with an assigned sex distribution of 39% female and 61% male. Results indicate that the overall job satisfaction score averaged 15 ± 3.9 on a 25-point scale. Employees who met their customer-related targets in the past month (79%) reported significantly higher job satisfaction (M = 17.41, SD = 2.54) compared to those who did not (M = 9.74, SD = 2.56), as shown by an independent samples t-test (p < 0.001). The most influential factors driving job satisfaction reported are health insurance benefits (66%), work-life balance (62%), good leadership (57%), and company culture (57%). Additionally, career advancement opportunities (54%) and recognition (54%) were also reported to be contributed significantly to job satisfaction. Participants frequently noted that AI tools streamlined repetitive tasks, allowing more time for meaningful work, although concerns about dependency and potential job displacement were also expressed. These findings suggest that job satisfaction in the IT sector is strongly influenced by AI integration, benefits and organizational culture, and that achieving customer-related targets is associated with significantly higher satisfaction. Enhancing these factors could improve organizational performance.

Advances in the Support of Remote Online Teaching and Learning for Student Success and Access
type: item
description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing advances were made by higher education institutions (HEIs) to support remote online teaching and learning for student success and access, which are increasing areas of research. The major objective of this paper is to address the shift to remote teaching and learning practices that Covid precipitated in higher education. We report on literature that captures the ongoing shift to remote teaching and learning practices. The response of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) to the crisis of the pandemic will be highlighted. Various themes related to the pedagogical value of emergency remote teaching (ERT), online learning, and continual post-pandemic support are discussed. We examine how challenges presented new opportunities for curriculum innovation and transformation at the UWC. The focus is the importance of a continual professional academic support structure and post-covid awareness campaigns in order to sustain fully online and hybrid teaching and learning approaches. Recommendations highlight that departments across faculties need to focus on training and support with regard to the attainment and effective application of eSkills and eTools; and that there is a need to intensify this, especially as part of the broader curriculum transformation agenda. More research that focuses on ongoing advances in the support of remote online teaching and learning for student success and access during a pandemic is necessary.
