Background: The affordances of technology, such as e-books, offer the opportunity to increase engagement and provide personalised feedback to promote students' learning outcomes. E-books that encourage the use of comprehension monitoring strategies in real time may support stronger outcomes. Objectives: The purpose of this feasibility study was to…

Dhvani Toprani; Marcela Borge – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: In this paper, we extend findings from previous iterations of a design-based project called ThinkerSpaces design studios that promotes human-centred design among children. ThinkerSpaces design studios is a play-based afterschool club that follows principles of embedded design by prioritising learner agency, exploration and ongoing…

Liu, Ruixue; Wang, Lei; Koszalka, Tiffany A.; Wan, Kun – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Immersive virtual reality (IVR) applications that support student learning have gained increasing interest. However, empirical studies exploring the educational potential of using IVR in primary school science classrooms are lacking. Objectives: This study developed a series of IVR science lessons for primary school students and…

Coleman, Mari Beth; Fowler, Kristen; Parater, Alexandra Lee; Riley, Marie Jackson; Park, Yujeong; Moore, Tara C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Technology-assisted instruction has potential for helping students improve their reading skills. In the current studies, "PowerPoint" software was used to supplement teacher-led reading instruction for elementary-aged students with disabilities who struggled with phoneme blending to read words. The effectiveness of the intervention was…

Effectiveness of Clicker-Assisted Teaching in Improving the Critical Thinking of Adolescent Learners
Ghanaat Pisheh, Etrat AlZahra; NejatyJahromy, Yaser; Gargari, Rahim Badri; Hashemi, Touraj; Fathi-Azar, Eskandar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
The effect of the implementation of student response systems (SRSs) in teaching on the critical thinking (CT) of young students was investigated. The study benefited from a quasi-experimental design and a pretest/posttest set-up. Subjects consisted of 156 K-8 students in Tehran during 2016-2017, selected through a multistage cluster sampling, and…

Díaz, A.; Nussbaum, M.; Varela, I. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
Recent research has suggested that simply providing each child with a computer does not lead to an improvement in learning. Given that dozens of countries across the world are purchasing computers for their students, we ask which elements are necessary to improve learning when introducing digital resources into the classroom. Understood the…

Lin, C.-P.; Chen, W.; Yang, S.-J.; Xie, W.; Lin, C.-C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2014
Improving students' reading comprehension is of significance. In this study, collaborative learning supported by Group Scribbles (GS), a networked technology, was integrated into a primary reading class. Forty-seven 10-year-old students from two 4th grade classes participated in the study. Experimental and control groups were established to…

Zheng, R. Z.; Yang, W.; Garcia, D.; McCadden, E. P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
The present study investigates the effects of multimedia and schema induced analogical reasoning on science learning. It involves 89 fourth grade elementary students in the north-east of the United States. Participants are randomly assigned into four conditions: (a) multimedia with analogy; (b) multimedia without analogy; (c) analogy without…
