Australasian Journal of Educational Technology
Scope & Guideline
Elevating Educational Practices Through Technology Integration
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Educational Technology Research and Application:
The journal emphasizes empirical studies that investigate the effectiveness and implementation of educational technologies in various learning environments, including higher education and K-12 settings. - Teacher and Student Experiences:
AJET highlights research that explores the experiences of both educators and learners with technology, focusing on how these experiences influence teaching practices and learning outcomes. - Innovative Pedagogical Approaches:
The journal encourages submissions that present new pedagogical models and strategies enabled by technology, such as flipped classrooms, blended learning, and gamification. - Digital Literacy and Competence:
A core area of focus is the development of digital literacy and competencies among both students and educators, addressing how these skills impact engagement and learning efficacy. - Policy and Practice Implications:
AJET publishes research that informs policy and practice within educational institutions, aiming to bridge the gap between research findings and practical application in educational settings.
Trending and Emerging
- Artificial Intelligence in Education:
Research on the applications of artificial intelligence, including tools like ChatGPT, is rapidly increasing, highlighting its potential to enhance learning experiences and educational outcomes. - Interdisciplinary Learning and Collaboration:
There is a growing trend towards interdisciplinary approaches in educational technology research, emphasizing collaborative learning experiences that span multiple fields and domains. - Emotional and Psychological Factors in Learning:
Emerging studies focus on the role of emotions, motivation, and psychological factors in the acceptance and effectiveness of educational technologies, indicating a shift towards a more holistic understanding of learning. - Accessibility and Inclusivity in Technology Use:
Research addressing the accessibility of educational technologies and their role in promoting inclusivity among diverse student populations is gaining prominence, reflecting a commitment to equitable education. - Data-Driven Insights and Learning Analytics:
The use of learning analytics to inform teaching practices and improve student outcomes is an increasingly popular area of research, as institutions seek to leverage data for continuous improvement.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Learning Theories:
Research based on conventional learning theories, such as behaviorism and cognitivism, appears to be diminishing as the field increasingly embraces constructivist and connectivist approaches driven by technology. - Face-to-Face Instructional Strategies:
With the rise of online and blended learning environments, studies focusing exclusively on traditional face-to-face instructional strategies have become less frequent, reflecting a broader shift towards digital pedagogies. - General Technology Acceptance Models:
While technology acceptance remains relevant, there is a noticeable decline in studies that rely solely on general models, such as TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), in favor of more nuanced frameworks that incorporate emotional and contextual factors. - Overemphasis on Technology as a Panacea:
Research that treats technology as a standalone solution to educational challenges is waning, as the field increasingly recognizes the importance of context, pedagogy, and human interaction in successful technology integration. - Narrow Focus on Specific Technologies:
There is a reduction in studies that focus solely on specific technologies (e.g., specific software tools) without considering broader educational implications or comparative analyses of multiple technologies.
