This study examined smartphone usage behaviours of elementary school students and media literacy. Data were gathered from a survey with a sample of 450 students from different schools in seven main regions of Kosovo, aged 10-15. There is no difference between males and females in smartphone access, while there is a slight difference between them…

The research literature on mobile technology integration discussed the disconnect between staff training, self-efficacy, and technology use in the classroom. This quantitative study examined elementary classroom teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) and self-efficacy beliefs related to mobile technology integration.…

Parent-child reading critically affects children's learning and development, and dialog reading (DR) is a highly effective strategy for parent-child reading. This study employed the prompt, expand, evaluate, and repeat (PEER) DR strategy to develop a picture book incorporating augmented reality (AR) technology. AR information is extracted from the…

Mobile devices in the primary school classroom may improve literacy and numeracy learning, though concerns about risk of bias and uncertainty about modes of effect limit conclusions. This review gathered evidence on how mobile devices (including tablets, mobile phones, and handheld digital games) are used in primary school classrooms to help…

The appearance of tablet technology in the classroom is considered an obvious modernisation milestone. In the last few years school professionals in Poland have made large investments in digitalisation, especially through one to one model (1:1), using digital devices such as tablets. Researches on tablet technology integration in school classrooms…

The Ministry of Education on a Western Pacific island invested in an expensive 1:1 tablet program providing elementary teachers and students with a tablet but had not determined if the program produced desired positive changes in the teachers' instructional practices of lesson planning and lesson presentation. Guided by experiential learning…

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to develop an understanding of mobile technology integration in K-12 classrooms from the perspective of classroom teachers during the 2022-2023 school year. The increase in mobile technologies being utilized in schools made it imperative to understand how mobile devices are being integrated into the…

We conducted this systematic literature review to summarize single-case intervention studies in which academic instruction incorporated assistive and instructional technology for students with complex support needs. Thirty studies, published between 2012 and 2019, were included in the review and evaluated for methodological rigor. Of the 97…

With rapid development of emerging technologies, teachers have been required to integrate mobile technology into their practices to improve learning outcomes. However, teachers have been reluctant to integrate technology into teaching because of technostress. Many studies have investigated the reasons and consequences of technostress in different…

The inability to directly communicate mathematical content through various representations of concepts presented a significant challenge after the shift from face-to-face teaching to distance mathematics education in Serbia. Some mathematics teachers attempted to overcome this gap by using a pen tablet during mathematics classes. The aim of this…

Successful integration of digital technologies in the education of young children still needs to be solved. Despite a growing body of research focusing on learning through digital technologies in childhood, there are areas of knowledge where the impact of digital technologies has yet to be explored. A prominent example is nanoscience and…

The current study examines antecedents to teachers' behavioral intentions to use smart technologies in Thailand based on the technology acceptance model. 825 primary school teachers participated in a survey consisting of 11 constructs: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards use, behavioral intention, peer influence,…

This paper presents a case study of two sixth-grade students' use of an iPad as an instructional tool for mathematics. Based on their written and oral responses, we investigated and analyzed their meaning making process with mathematical content in a classroom where the iPad was a central tool for teaching practices. The analyses were based on…

This paper reports on a mixed-methods, design-based study conducted with five classes of Primary 6 (age 11-12 years) students learning the properties of 3D solids. The researcher and participating teachers designed mathematics lessons that integrated the hands-on construction of artifacts (i.e., making) with a class set of 3D printing pens to…

This study aimed to understand what role teachers consider the immersive virtual field trip (VFT) system to play in primary school classrooms. There were 19 teachers' perceptions of immersive VFTs for educational purposes explored. The interview transcripts were analyzed using the phenomenographic method. The results showed that, for usability…
