This study aims to fill the gap in understanding trends, methods, content, and impacts of technology implementation differentiated biology education at secondary higher levels. The methodology employed is a systematic literature review on use education. search was conducted using terms ‘technology’ AND (‘differentiated instruction’ OR ‘personalized learning’ ‘adaptive teaching’ ‘learning style’) ‘biology education’ Scopus database, yielding 922 articles, which only 18 met criteria for further analysis. findings indicate rapid increase publications, with 61% articles published between 2022 2024. majority publications come from journals fields <i>social sciences/education</i>, while contributions biochemistry, genetics, molecular remain limited, suggesting need cross-disciplinary collaboration. Most studies (78%) used quantitative mixed 72% focusing most commonly technologies include hands-on tools, data analysis collaborative animal anatomy physiology as dominant topics. These support learning by enhancing understanding, engagement, outcomes, well observation scientific explanation skills school level, research bioinformatics level.

Assessing Digital Technologies’ Adoption in Romanian Secondary Schools

Applied Sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(11), С. 6157 - 6157

Опубликована: Май 30, 2025

Digital transformation is reshaping educational methods and necessitates new institutional, teaching, learning approaches. In Romania’s secondary school system, this process particularly complex due to infrastructural disparities, uneven digital competencies, limited policy guidance. This study investigates the factors influencing Romanian teachers’ adoption of technologies, addressing a gap in literature regarding localized teacher behavior within under-digitalized environments. Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), research explores perceived usefulness, ease use, behavioral intention, quality as determinants adoption. The analysis was conducted on sample 430 teachers utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). key findings reveal that intention strongly predicts actual usage (β = 0.791, p < 0.001), use exerts greater influence than usefulness. Furthermore, plays modest but significant mediating role enhancing engagement. These results suggest user-friendly, intuitive technologies targeted professional training are essential for sustained contributes field by offering context-specific understanding technology’s acceptance Eastern European education extending TAM framework through integration quality. It provides actionable insights policymakers leaders seeking promote sustainable inclusive schools.

The use of online meeting programs, such as Google Meet (GM), provides several benefits for teachers and students in terms achieving learning goals outside the classroom. Depending on requirements students, a variety apps might be employed. point study was to address vacuum knowledge with regard acceptability apps, GM their role. Effectiveness utilizing attitudes towards using are two factors that impact learners’ this app educational purposes. While researchers have examined google meet application acceptance contexts, perceived ease use, usefulness, effectiveness utilize attitude mediating variable measuring education has not been explored technology model (TAM). As result, study’s purpose create new paradigm by merging TAM external elements including subjective norms, task-technology fit, quality information. This involved total 208 postgraduate at College Education King Saud University. Students were polled structural equation modeling (SEM) approach determine approximate expectations adoption. According findings, enjoyment, information positive usefulness which turn finally leads effect adoption during COVID-19. higher institutions should promote usage tools, GM, part processes long-term strategy.

Virtual Physical Education: Google Meet as an alternative platform for learning skill-based concepts

Physical Education of Students, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 26(6), С. 296 - 307

Опубликована: Ноя. 25, 2022

Background and Study Aim. Google Meet has been the most highly sought videoconferencing platform utilized by various educational institutions worldwide to facilitate synchronous classes. The said is efficient based on previously published scholarly works. To further assess these claims in current study’s situation, this paper designed explore factors linked with students’ acceptance observation of as an alternative learn concepts Physical Education courses which are skill-based adopting Technology Acceptance Model. Material Methods. selected respondents were composed 2nd-4th year undergraduate students taking Bachelor at City College Angeles, located Philippines. for study identified using purposive sampling technique. From 467 entire populaces, 250 answered online survey, all responses accepted after data cleaning. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling or PLS-SEM through SmartPLS4 was used affecting Classroom learning courses. Additionally, outer loadings average variance extracted (AVE) scrutinized Fornell-Larcker criterion, cross-loadings, HTMT assessed establish convergent discriminant validity. Also, a full collinearity assessment model performed determine if free from Common Method Bias. Meanwhile, PLS Predict model’s predicting validity power. Lastly, structural evaluated path coefficients coefficient determination (R2). Results. After obtaining samples (N=250) (Female= 42.0% Male= 58.0%), results displayed that: perceived ease use positively significantly associated triggers usefulness; usefulness leverages behavioral intention use; and, interrelated affects actual platform. Conclusions. findings would be Department college administration examining may continuously PE since setting investigation still full-online modality. Proposals concerning students, teachers, future research directions also presented.

ABSTRACTThis study set out to determine what variables led students choose mobile learning during COVID-19 and the direct impact of perceived fear (PCF) on undergraduate learners' intentions adopt m-learning in developing countries such as Sudan. It utilizes Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) a foundation uses PCF an undependable variable. The surveys were given Sudanese students. SPSS SmartPLS software utilised for data analysis. findings revealed that affects both ease use (PEOU) usefulness (PU) positively. PEOU PU influence intention (INT) research will help decision-makers, developers applications, researchers promote acceptance m-learning. This contributes field knowledge by extending TAM adding new factor, PCF, order understand students' m-learning.KEYWORDS: TAMCOVID-19 pandemicmobile learningperceived Disclosure statementNo potential conflict interest was reported author(s).Additional informationNotes contributorsMohammed A.
