Mun, Wong Kin; Hew, Khe Foon; Cheung, Wing Sum – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
Although a number of researchers have examined response pad systems (RPSs) in higher education, there has been very little research at the K-12 level. This paper investigated the impact of using an RPS in the learning of physics concepts in a secondary school in Singapore. Two classes (n = 35 students in each class) of secondary five students…

Laru, Jari; Jarvela, Sanna; Clariana, Roy B. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
This study explores how collaborative inquiry learning can be supported with multiple scaffolding agents in a real-life field trip context. In practice, a mobile peer-to-peer messaging tool provided meta-cognitive and procedural support, while tutors and a nature guide provided more dynamic scaffolding in order to support argumentative discussions…
