Alam, Sabrina Shajeen; Dubé, Adam Kenneth – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The present paper documents the design and development of a mobile mathematics application targeted to improve magnitude representation skills. Educational experts worked together with an app developer with the goal of creating an educational app as a math learning tool for children 5-8 years old. The description of the app design processes…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Zhao, Lixinin; Shadiev, Rustam; Lin, Li-Kai; Shih, Timothy K.; Chen, Hong-Ren – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
In this study, we designed geometry learning activities so that students could apply newly learned knowledge to solve real-life problems, such as estimating the distance to real objects they find in their local community, measuring objects' length, width, and height, and calculating objects' surface area. Our participating students were divided…

Fabian, Khristin; Topping, Keith J.; Barron, Ian G. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The ubiquity of mobile devices together with its potential to bridge classroom learning to real-world has added a new angle to contextualising mathematics learning. This study investigated the effects of using mobile technologies to students' attitudes and achievement. A quasi-experimental mixed method design was adopted. Participants were 52…

Schmitt, Lara Johanna; Weinberger, Armin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Multi-touch interfaces allow for direct and simultaneous input by several co-present learners and afford hands-on learning experiences. Additional scaffolding for strategic behavior and/or verbalizations may constructively complement collaborative learning with a multi-touch device. In this study, the tablet app "Proportion" is supposed…

Roschelle, Jeremy; Rafanan, Ken; Bhanot, Ruchi; Estrella, Gucci; Penuel, Bill; Nussbaum, Miguel; Claro, Susana – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Based on strong research literatures, we conjectured that social processing of feedback by cooperating in a small group setting--with social incentives to ask questions, give explanations and discuss disagreements--would increase learning. We compared group and individual feedback, using two technologies: (1) Technology-mediated, Peer-Assisted…
