To achieve our research aim, we conducted a digital questionnaire study in which 489 prospective mathematics teachers participated. In terms of completeness, the data of 409 participants could be used for further analysis. The structural equation model analyses conducted in our study indicate that especially Performance Expectancy (β = 0.359) and Facilitating Conditions (β = 0.424) significantly influence the behavioral intentions of prospective mathematics teachers to use digital mathematics tools. In turn, behavioral intentions significantly influence how prospective mathematics teachers want to use digital mathematics tools in the classroom. Our findings highlight that Behavioral Intentions act as a key link between technology acceptance and Cognitive Engagement in prospective mathematics teachers. Additionally, demographic factors such as age, gender, and study progress moderate these relationships. These insights can inform teacher training programs by tailoring support to different groups to ensure more effective integration of digital tools in mathematics classrooms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100322,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Education Open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100269"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144312998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We relied on a knowledge mobilization framework to draw on expertise from both researchers, who produce new knowledge, and practitioners, who combine it with their pedagogical wisdom and use it in classrooms. We used the Delphi method because of its potential to address the power imbalances among panelists and modified it to facilitate knowledge mediation between knowledge production and use. The panelists identified seven key CSCL topics for translation from research into practice: Classroom discourse; Diversity, equity, and inclusion; Teacher preparation and professional development; Socially shared regulation of learning; Argumentation; Classroom orchestration and scripts; and Student and teacher identities. We also investigated panelists’ ideas on effective practitioner-researcher partnerships to inform the next stage of our project, where researchers and practitioners will jointly translate research from selected topics into practical guidance.

A cohort of 21 Iranian EFL teachers were non-randomly picked up to attend a semi-structured interview and complete a written narrative frame.

On the negative side, ‘anxiety’, ‘worry’, ‘stress’, ‘apprehension’, and ‘frustration’ were repeatedly induced by AI tools in L2 speaking and writing classes. Moreover, it was found that four ‘up-regulating’ and five ‘down-regulating’ strategies, either antecedent-focused or response-focused had been commonly employed by the teachers to manage their positive and negative AI-induced emotions.

A prominent focus within this domain is the development and implementation of mobile learning applications and systems. The widespread adoption of mobile learning has led to the emergence of numerous applications, granting higher education students increased autonomy in leveraging mobile devices to support their academic performance. However, the abundance of available options has made the strategic selection and effective use of appropriate applications a pressing issue. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate strategies for adopting mobile learning applications in Chinese higher education institutions—a context in which limited research has been conducted despite the ongoing technological transformation in mainland China. The findings revealed that academic major significantly influenced students’ learning performance supported by mobile applications, primarily due to differing academic demands [F(11, 289) = 1.788, <em>p</em> = .056, η² = 0.064]. Learners’ positive perceptions of mobile learning applications were found to be crucial to their assisted learning outcomes. Moreover, most students acknowledged the necessity of receiving guidance when selecting learning applications. Among the various forms of support examined, teacher recommendations were particularly valued. However, both in-class and out-of-class support remained insufficient. While online searches and social media offer some assistance, there is a strong preference among students for direct guidance from instructors. Furthermore, existing mobile learning applications do not fully meet the diverse needs of all learners. To address these challenges, this study proposes an eight-stage adoption strategy aimed at enhancing university students’ learning performance through more effective use of mobile applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100322,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Education Open","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100263"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143911788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scale was developed through a rigorous process involving literature review, expert reviews, and cognitive pre-testing. An exploratory factor analysis with 95 undergraduate students confirmed a three-factor structure: Affective Intimacy, Cognitive Competence, and Social Flow, each comprising three sub-factors. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency and construct validity. To establish concurrent and predictive validity, 75 participants completed an argumentative essay writing task using ChatGPT. Concurrent validity was established through significant correlations with measures of attitude toward AI and AI self-efficacy. Predictive validity was confirmed through regression analyses, which showed that the learner-generative AI relationship significantly predicted learning engagement, perceived cognitive effects, and perceived motivational effects in a ChatGPT-assisted argumentative writing task. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive tool for measuring learner-AI relationships beyond mere interactions and attitudes.
