The growing number of educational options and job opportunities has made career planning increasingly complex and uncertain. To help students navigate these choices, this paper introduces Career Guidance Application (CGA), a tool designed to assist secondary level students (grades 9-12) in selecting their field of study based on their academic and…

This study focused on students' experience with a mobile multimedia application for a pronunciation course. An app was used for after-class pronunciation practice, through which the instructor gave out multimodal feedback to students. Student engagement with teacher feedback in the app was investigated from multiple data sources. Data collected in…

While mobile devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous (even in low-income families in the United States) and are being used for educational purposes, it is unclear how these technological tools may benefit letter learning (a foundational precursor to early literacy achievement) in preschool children. To contribute clarity, this study tested…

The iNaturalist application has been gaining traction in both biodiversity research and education. Increasingly more research is being carried out, looking into using the iNaturalist application in biology education, to promote biodiversity and educate students about this topic. We used the PRISMA systematic literature review method to examine…

Many definitions of education have been made from past to present. The definition of education, which is generally defined as the process of creating behaviour change in the desired direction in individuals, has a history as old as human history.

Today's students are increasingly immersed in a landscape of screens and handheld digital devices through which a good deal of their interactions with the world around them are mediated. Physics educators, meanwhile, continue to rely on traditional human interactions with the physical world, such as sliding down a ramp or throwing a baseball, in…

Many studies have demonstrated the crucial role of vocabulary in predicting reading performance in general. More recent work has indicated that one particular facet of vocabulary (its depth) is more closely related to language comprehension, especially inferential comprehension. On this basis, we developed a training application to specifically…

The popularity and use of smartphone apps for language learning have significantly grown in Iran over the past years. Despite this growth, empirical data on students' choice of such apps, their perception towards them, and the impact of external factors on their attitude remains scant. In an attempt to contribute to this research base, a…

Recently, a new source of data with great potential for use in the mathematics classroom has become available. The smartphones in our pockets are packed with sensors. Most phones have at a minimum global positioning, accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope sensors. We give an example of the collection and analysis of global positioning sensor…

Smartphone ownership estimates indicate the vast majority of young people are engaging with smartphone devices.
