TL;DR: In this article, the integration of an educational technology platform and relates the difficulties faced amidst the Covid-19 pandemic are analyzed. But, the integration should be driven by pedagogical goals and not technological pressures, and the authors acknowledge the need for immediate decisions by educational stakeholders to facilitate online learning.
Abstract: This study analyzes the integration of an educational technology platform and relates the difficulties faced amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, we sought to identify the chief barriers educators face when considering the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Factors influencing primary and secondary education teachers’ (n = 15) and students’ (n = 335) perspectives on ICT integration for mathematics instruction were identified and analyzed from the perspective of different contexts (school vs home) and circumstances (in-person vs remote learning). Although we acknowledge the need for immediate decisions by educational stakeholders to facilitate online learning, our findings indicate the necessity of (a) careful examination of the features of potential platforms or tools and (b) a trial of such features prior to integration within an educational system. From an instructional design perspective, educational technologists should pay special attention to the degree of gamification, especially beyond the primary school level, as it may negatively impact incentives for student interaction and engagement. Where possible, the integration of technology should be driven by pedagogical goals and not technological pressures. © 2021 The Author(s).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how teacher creativity drives students' creativity and investigated entrepreneurship education's pivotal role in explaining this relationship and revealed a strong correlation between entrepreneurship education in the schools and their students' creative abilities.
Abstract: Enhancing creativity is beneficial for students to be involved in entre�preneurial activities and entrepreneurship education to promote students’ creative
thinking abilities. This paper examines how teacher creativity drives students’
ingenuity and investigates entrepreneurship education’s pivotal role in explaining
this relationship. A quantitative method was involved in obtaining a better under�standing of the relationship between variables using variance-based Structural
Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Participants in this study were
gathered from numerous vocational schools in Yogyakarta of Indonesia undergoing
an online survey. The findings indicate that teacher creativity has a positive effect
on entrepreneurship education and students’ creativity. It also reveals a strong
correlation between entrepreneurship education in the schools and their students’
creativity. Finally, this study offers to the schools and government to emphasize
these variables in enhancing students’ creativity which can be used to improve
students’ entrepreneurial intentions.
