Sylviane Valdois; Ahmed Zaher; Svetlana Meyer; Julien Diard; Sonia Mandin; Marie Line Bosse – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Longitudinal studies on mainstream children and training studies in the dyslexic population suggest that visual attention span (VAS) abilities contribute to reading acquisition. We evaluated to what extent VAS training in beginning readers might enhance later literacy skills. A large cohort of 453 children was followed from the beginning to the…

Priyan L. Jayamaha – International Journal of Technology in Education and Science, 2024
This study investigates the challenges of teaching history to primary school students and the endeavour to develop a board game, supported by educational apps and augmented reality, to enhance the learning experience. The initiative is in response to the New Zealand Ministry of Education's mandate that New Zealand's history must be taught in all…

Jhon Holguin-Alvarez; Juana Cruz-Montero; Jenny Ruiz-Salazar; Raquel Leonor Atoche Wong; Irene Merino-Flores – Contemporary Educational Technology, 2025
The application of gamification methods is still complex for most Latin American teachers who apply gamified pedagogies. Many confuse their nature with cognitivist classes that are totally confusing when using gamified tools for active learning of their students. The background information states the reduction of academic obstacles for students to…

Chen, Min-Bin; Wang, Siou-Ge; Chen, You-Ning; Chen, Xiao-Fang; Lin, Yi-Zhen – Education Sciences, 2020
Learning is mainly based on the students' mental activities. If they can learn spontaneously, it will help increase their interest and the effectiveness of the learning. Learning through playing will make it easier for students to learn spontaneously. The balance between gameplay and education in educational games is a key issue in designing such…

Ward, Monica – Research-publishing.net, 2019
Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) involves using tools and techniques from computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the language learning process. It is an inherently complex endeavour and is multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary in nature. Often these tools and techniques are designed for tasks and…

Delforge, Carole; Van de Vyver, Julie; Meurice, Alice – Research-publishing.net, 2019
The research consisted in having an Actionbound mobile hunt for A1 learners of Dutch designed by a group of language Student Teachers (STs) within the framework of a second year course on foreign language teaching. The game was then implemented with two groups of fifth grade primary school pupils during their visit of the Hergé Museum in…

Camilleri, Mark Anthony; Camilleri, Adriana Caterina – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2019
Purpose: A relevant literature review suggests that today's children are increasingly immersing themselves in ubiquitous technologies, including interactive media and digital games. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the primary school students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivations toward learning via gameplay through their mobile devices,…

Gresalfi, Melissa Sommerfeld; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Loehr, Abbey; Nichols, Isaac – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The goal of the current study was to contribute to our emergent understanding of whether and how particular types of digital games can support student learning and engagement. We focused on commercially available educational apps that focused on similar content (fraction comparison and equivalence) but represented extremes in how game-like they…

Tucker, Stephen I.; Johnson, Teri Nicole – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Interactions with technology have become a focus of education research, revealing specific constructs relevant to these interactions. Attributes of users and tools contribute to physically embodied interactions with technology and both users and tools modify attributes throughout these interactions. This study examines patterns of user-tool…

McKenzie, Sophie; Spence, Aaron; Nicholas, Maria – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2018
This paper explores the design, development and evaluation of an early childhood literacy iPad application, focusing on the English Alphabet, called "A to Z Safari" trialled in Australian classrooms. A to Z Safari was designed to assist students in the early years of schooling with learning the alphabet and building on their knowledge of…

Hsiao, Kuo-Lun; Huang, Tien-Chi; Chen, Mu-Yen; Chiang, Nien-Ting – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Although ubiquitous learning is a novel and creative teaching approach, two key issues inhibit its success overall: a lack of appropriate learning strategies regarding learning objectives, and ineffective learning tools for receiving knowledge regarding the chosen subjects. To address these issues, we develops and designs a game-based educational…

Kyriakides, Andreas O.; Meletiou-Mavrotheris, Maria; Prodromou, Theodosia – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2016
This article reports on the main experiences gained from a 2-year study which incorporated A.L.E.X., an educational puzzle game available on iPad or Android tablet devices, within the primary school mathematics curriculum. The study took place in a public primary school, located in a rural area of Cyprus. The majority of its students come from low…

Schaen, Richard J.; Hayden, Garry; Zydney, Janet M. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2016
The best Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) design challenges are student centered, with students themselves making the key decisions. But with young children who are still learning basic academic and social skills, implementing projects where they truly take the lead can be quite challenging. To give students at one…

Radley, Keith C.; Dart, Evan H.; O'Handley, Roderick D. – School Psychology Review, 2016
The current study investigated the effectiveness of the Quiet Classroom Game, an interdependent group contingency using an iPad loaded with a decibel meter app, for increasing academically engaged behavior. Three first-grade classrooms in the southeastern United States, identified as displaying high levels of noise and disruptive behavior, were…
