DESCRIPTION:This presentation sheds light on findings from a doctoral stud
 y on the relationship between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their in
 dividual technology use within an Arabic language teaching context in Egyp
 t. Specifically\, it explores teachers’ beliefs in relation to early lea
 rning experience\, teacher education\, classroom practice\, and work conte
 xt. It further discusses implications for in-service professional developm
 ent\, pre-service teacher education\, and institutional initiatives for te
 chnology integration. Drawing on field experiences in Egypt\, the presenta
 tion addresses methodological considerations associated with conducting re
 search within an Egyptian educational context. It emphasises the centralit
 y of researcher creative capacity\, responsibility\, and integrity to the 
 research process\, and offers situated examples of considering the objecti
 ves behind certain ethical procedures rather than simply implementing form
 s. The presentation encourages researchers to discern methodological affor
 dances within their socio-cultural environment\, to question established r
 esearch traditions\, and to theorise their research practice.
