van Weerdenburg, Marjolijn; Tesselhof, Mariëtte; van der Meijden, Henny – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
This study investigated the effect of a touch-typing course on the spelling and narrative-writing skills on the computer of elementary school students. Data of 207 students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 were analysed using a pretest-posttest design. Students in the experimental group (n = 154) followed a touch-typing course, and those in the control group…

Chadli, Abdelhafid; Tranvouez, Erwan; Dahmani, Youcef; Bendella, Fatima; Belmabrouk, Karima – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
This study proposes a computer-assisted system with a design based on Polya's problem-solving model. The system is designed to help average and low-achieving second graders in mathematics with word-based addition and subtraction questions. The emphasis of using the specific model was on dividing the problem-solving procedure into stages and 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…

Looi, C.-K.; Zhang, B.; Chen, W.; Seow, P.; Chia, G.; Norris, C.; Soloway, E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
This paper presents the findings of a research project in which we transformed a primary (grade) 3 science curriculum for delivery via mobile technologies, and a teacher enacted the lessons over the 2009 academic year in a class in a primary school in Singapore. The students had a total of 21 weeks of the mobilized lessons in science, which were…
