A disadvantage that A&P classrooms using 3-D digital computer anatomical models experience is the disconnect between digital and physical models traditionally used. This project used 3-D digital models on smart tablets and traditional physical models for in-class A&P lab practical exam studying and preparation. We focused on the hands-on…

There have been many innovations targeting literacy teaching and learning in small countries such as Jamaica, but changes to literacy teaching practices are rarely sustained beyond the life of the initial projects. The purpose of this study was to understand teachers' rationale for changes to literacy teaching practices that were and were not…

In low-income countries, the use of technology to enhance teacher continuous professional development (TCPD) activities has been increasing significantly. However, most technology initiatives related to TCPD require the installation of complex information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure in schools or availability of reliable…

The usage of digital media, especially tablet apps, is currently a major concern in educational settings. A controversial discussion is also taking place in relation to mathematics education at primary schools. While on the one hand there are empirical findings on helpful isolated examples and related subject-didactic potentials of digital media,…

We explore how children and adults actively experiment within the physical world to achieve different epistemic goals. In our experiment, one hundred one 4- to 10-year-old children and 24 adults either passively observed or used a touchscreen interface to actively interact with objects in a dynamic physical microworld with the goal of inferring…

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of tablets on the learning of indigenous students in the department of Amazonas and to analyze the perceptions of educational subjects regarding the pedagogical use of these technological tools. A quantitative-descriptive approach was used employing standardized tests and perception…

Students frequently recruit digital devices to aid their academics. Past research has often focused on computers, with growing research on more mobile devices like tablets. Despite owning smartphones at high rates, little research has focused on college students' use of smartphones for academics. In the present study, students were randomly…

Cartoon images have been widely applied in children's educational media. The study examined the effect of cartoon images in touchscreen media on young children's recognition of time. With a 2 (clock type: cartoon clock, non-cartoon clock) × 2 (media type: touchscreen, video) between-subjects design, ninety-two children aged 4-6 were randomly…

The utilization of devices like iPads for video feedback has become increasingly popular and is now acknowledged as a valuable asset in PE. Nevertheless, existing research and implementation of video feedback have been primarily concentrating on particular skills. This study explores students' perceptions of video-supported debates in game-based…

Currently, teachers increasingly use digital curriculum resources in the design and enactment of their lessons. Using digital resources changes how teachers interact with their resources and how students interact with teachers and content, placing new demands on teachers. This study examines this context. The research questions guiding this study…

This study explored the relationship between educational technology and the mathematics achievement of South African and German students. Hierarchical Linear Models (HLM) showed that the availability of computers at school and using computers in the mathematics classroom in South Africa positively associated with the mathematics achievement of…
