With technological advancements, the field of computer and educational technologies education is also gaining increasing importance. This is causing radical changes especially in education area.

Not only concepts such as coding, programming, algorithmic thinking, and computational thinking, but also artificial intelligence tools and instructional technologies implemented with artificial intelligence have gained importance this century.
This book, Academic Research in Computer and Educational Technologies, brings together a series of academic studies examining these new transformations. The book consists of five chapters: "Artificial Intelligence in Primary and Secondary School Education," "Networking in Education Systems for School Children: A Digital Framework for Connected Learning," "An Assessment of ICT Tools Impact on Middle-School Education: A Secondary Evidence Synthesis," "Computational Thinking and Coding Education in the Artificial Intelligence Era," and "Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Issues in Education."

Each chapter addresses different digital developments, emphasizing topics such as ICT tools, the place and ethical issues of artificial intelligence in education, digital frameworks, and the relationship between computational thinking and artificial intelligence. It details the opportunities and challenges arising in the educational technologies process and aims to contribute to the field.

This book aims to contribute to all researchers, educators and stakeholders who are trying to contribute to the field of computer and instructional technologies. We extend our sincere gratitude to the entire academic community who dedicated their time to the creation of this book, to all the authors who contributed for their efforts and productivity, and to the Global Academy Publishing team.
