Zandile Mboneni; Johannes Cronje
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conferences on e-Society (ES 2024, 22nd) and Mobile Learning (ML 2024, 20th) (Porto, Portugal, Mar 9-11, 2024)
Mobile technologies illustrate a positive effect when used in mathematics learning. However, user experience evaluations are mostly quantitative. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach using semi-structured interviews to examine the experiences of educators at a special needs school in the Western Cape, South Africa. Thematic analysis of the interview data was performed using an inductive approach. The data revealed five themes, and the connections between these themes shed light on the educators' experiences with Siyavula. [For the full proceedings, see ED659933.]
