It has facilitated the dissemination of information, allowing students to access a wealth of educational resources at the click of a button. The research problem that led to this study is that public school teachers in Kuwait have been struggling to keep up with the advancements in technology and incorporate it effectively into their instructional practices. This study explains the reason for the poor performance of teachers in general education schools in the Kuwait using educational technology. We interpret an educational field experience, which is the type of research most often used in education. The methods were used for collecting qualitative data in this study were interviews and document analysis. The teachers’ personal interviews were face to face and included written questions. The reason for the poor performance of teachers includes a lack of experience in teaching with technology, limited on-site support, insufficient knowledge of using technology for instructional purposes, and discomfort with integrating educational technologies into effective teaching. In addition, school budgets do not allow for the support of technology activities during the academic year. Teachers rarely have opportunities to use technology in their classrooms. Sometimes teachers use their own money to provide the necessary technology for their students, such as tablets, laptops, or interactive whiteboards. Also, teachers do not feel comfortable doing tasks because they do not believe there are a variety of resources and strategies to help educators enhance their tech-teaching abilities.","PeriodicalId":512006,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Learning and Development","volume":"186 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140452515","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}

And the primary aim of this study is to propose a construct to help develop and initial informal learning to help displaced not to miss learning opportunities.The researchers have taken into consideration the scenario of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the Israeli occupation's increasing atrocities without seeing clear intentions for ceasefire. Then, the researchers propose a framework for informal learning that adapts to the realities of displacement and war, grounded in the concept of situated cognition. The constructs prioritize hands-on experiences and skills relevant to the displaced students' immediate context. It suggests a shift towards informal learning methods that foster cognitive reserve, resilience, and adaptability in children, utilizing play, storytelling, exploration, and cultural activities.The paper concludes by discussing the vital role of informal learning in maintaining the continuity of education for displaced children in Gaza. It argues for immediate educational interventions alongside long-term strategies for rebuilding the educational system, tailored to the complex needs of students in the recovery and healing phases. The study recognizes its limitations in addressing the potential of technology in informal learning, given the severe constraints of the situation in Gaza.","PeriodicalId":512006,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Learning and Development","volume":" November","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618051","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}
