There is little empirical data on the extent of home numeracy practice using technology, though previous research shows that home numeracy activities are linked with children's mathematics abilities. This study describes the process of constructing an inventory of digital home numeracy practice (DHNP-i). Parents (n = 126) of elementary children…

The adult learning ecology has expanded to include digital access, requiring enhancement of theories in the specific context of low-literate learners who may not have previously benefited from educational technology. The Digital Learning Ecology (DLE) framework identifies the three dimensions of context, design, and motivation, considering…

As educators and administrators look to countless mobile apps, software programs, and web-based learning tools to meet the demands of students in remote, virtual, and hybrid settings, risks and assumptions of online platforms and assessments must be considered.

Those who believed technology integration was important for student engagement, as well as those comfortable with their technological skills, were experimenting with tools on an interactive board or through a website…

The usage of high-quality learning applications (apps) at home may increase children's mathematical and literacy competencies. This approach was tested in a family intervention study. Intervention families (n = 302) in two German cohorts (N = 500; M (SD)[subscript age] = 61.0 (4.6) months; n[female gender symbol] = 302) received tablets with newly…

This study explored how developing digital literacy skills could influence digital self-efficacy, cognitive load, mindfulness, and productivity among Generation Z college students in Karachi, Pakistan, using the Pauseitive app. With digital tools playing an ever-growing role in education, understanding their impact on students' mental processes…

Although the acceptance of educational apps and their contributions to learning have been widely researched, none of these studies have examined links between teachers' acceptance of apps and their students' skills. The present study investigated this issue with respect to a new, French-language educational app for helping preschool children…

The app 'Roteiro Entre-Marés' offers digital itineraries for exploring intertidal zones, such as the rocky platform of the Avencas Marine Protected Area. As users travel through the intertidal area, several challenges emphasising the biodiversity and environmental issues are presented. Eighth-grade students (n=63) used this application and were…

With the closure of educational institutions during COVID-19, some leadership and management teams resorted to technology for online teaching.
