Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

1) The issue introduction includes the background and the importance of this research area.

Teaching and learning in tertiary education has become more online dependent. Although online learning and teaching has a long history, it has flourished recently due to technological advancements as well as environmental demands such as COVID-19. At the same time, technology can enhance learning in a variety of other ways. Technology can support student-centered learning by providing connections between peers, staff, and resources, and making learning more engaging and accessible. Technology can assist academics with assessment, detecting plagiarism, and automated feedback. Learning management systems provide large datasets that, with the aid of learning analytics, enable a deeper understanding of how students interact with the system as well as with their peers.

2) The aim and scope of the Special Issue shall be highlighted.

This issue focuses on how technology enhances teaching and learning in tertiary education.

3) Suggested themes shall be listed.

In particular, this Special issue encourages submissions on the following topics: (1) online learning design; (2) project-based learning; (3) inclusive learning engagement in online learning; (4) technology-enhanced learning; (5) AI or deep-learning techniques applied based on interactive data including emotion; (6) learning analytics.

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for 21st century skills, particularly computer and ICT literacy (CICT) in Thailand. This study aimed to develop a TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge)-based blended learning model (BLM) to enhance CICT skills and academic performance among 179 Business Administration (BA) undergraduates in the 2022 academic year Computer and Information Applications course. Research instruments were designed and evaluated by experts. Over 18 weeks, qualitative and quantitative data were collected, with the qualitative data undergoing content analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, comparing pretests, post-tests, and 2-week retests using a repeated measure ANOVA. One-sample t-tests were used to assess the model’s impact on CICT skills. The results showed a significant score improvement between tests, with the highest mean being seen in the 2-week retest. The BA-TPACK model significantly enhanced CICT skills, exceeding 80%. The students expressed high satisfaction, with the BA-TPACK model effectively enhancing CICT skills and academic achievement, recommending its integration into future computer and information courses. This study’s contribution lies in addressing the pressing need for CICT skills in the ‘new normal’. By developing and implementing a BLM grounded in the TPACK framework, this study not only enhances students’ CICT proficiency but also fills a crucial gap in the literature regarding effective pedagogical approaches to foster 21st century skills.
