“…Moreover, studies of technology-rich environments indicate that the general effects of technology on student motivation and attitudes towards learning may be greater than previously thought (Hainey, Connolly, Stansfield, & Boyle, 2011;Kulik, 2002).While the availability of new technologies such as the Internet and web technologies are clearly having an effect on teaching and learning activities, the use of technology and its integration into the processes of education is dependent upon the use of this technology by the teacher. Studies emphasize that the teacher is the central figure in decisions as to whether or not to use technology, since its integration into the classroom is affected by teacher's attitudes, perceptions, and technical knowledge (Angeli & Valanides, 2009;Mishra & Koehler, 2006;Rohaan, Taconis, Wim & Jochems, 2010).…”

Executive SummaryTechnology integration into the classroom has a major role in creating rich learning and teaching environments. It is obvious that the success of the effective use of technology in classrooms highly depends on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers who are responsible for integrating technology and mentoring other teachers in using it successfully. However, it is unclear how ICT teachers play a role for the achievement of the integration process and what challenges they experience during this process. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to portray the professional growth of ICT teachers in terms of their perceptions of teaching and their competencies in the Turkish elementary education system. Data was obtained from 104 (55 female, 49 male) ICT teachers. The quantitative data analysis was supplemented with a qualitative analysis to get a better understanding of the professional growth among in-service ICT teachers. Results showed that despite their positive self-perceptions of competence, ICT teachers faced difficulties such as classroom management, number of students, and hardware-software issues regarding the effective use of technology, especially cutting edge technology, in the classroom. According to teachers, the ability to integrate technology in the classroom was negatively affected by time limitations, poor design of Information Technology (IT) class, lack of flexibility in their roles as teachers, overcrowded classes, and classroom management issues. Finally, this study looked at ICT teachers' opinions regarding factors that encourage/discourage them from working in schools. The results of this study also shed light on the awareness of the significance of integrating technology into their teaching and learning activities.

“…An outcome is the result of responses by students during game play. However, the outcome is uncertain until an action has taken place during a game play [14].

This study explores how the scarcity of virtual products in virtual gaming spaces influences brand evaluation in the real world. While previous studies suggest that scarcity in virtual spaces can enhance brand value, the mechanisms and conditions under which this effect occurs (e.g., the characteristics of virtual spaces, consumer traits, and stimulus). Drawing on insights from scarcity research on physical products, we propose that the effects of scarcity may stem from the expectation of impression management. We developed a model that incorporates insights from physical product scarcity research with the unique aspects of virtual spaces and consumer characteristics. Through four studies, we discovered that the effect of supply scarcity in enhancing brand evaluation is pronounced when the space is online and when consumers have a high level of social presence. Furthermore, in cases where social presence is not high, encounters with others wearing scarce products were found to enhance the scarcity effect. Companies can enhance brand evaluation by strategically using virtual product scarcity in online gaming, particularly when targeting consumers with high social presence or creating opportunities for players to interact with others wearing scarce items.
