Mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) as experimental tools (METs) offer inspiring possibilities for science education, but until now, there has been little research studying this approach. Previous research indicated that METs have positive effects on students' interest and curiosity. The present investigation focuses on potential cognitive…

Context Aware Mobile Learning Applications (CAMLA) are an emerging field of research, they provide educational resources tailored to educational needs and particular circumstances of the learner. Despite the increase in the number of applications being developed, there is a lack of study that provides comprehensive knowledge on the development of…

Most students who begin at a community college leave without earning a degree. Given the growing emphasis on student success, many colleges have implemented re-enrollment campaigns designed to foster re-engagement and degree completion among former students. However, there is a lack of causal evidence on their effectiveness. We implement a text…

The paper presents findings from a research study of 318 mathematics teachers' experiences of access to, and use of, digital technology in their professional development in marginalised communities in ten districts across Bangladesh. The innovative two-cycle qualitative study design involved early career researchers collaborating with…

The study compared two survey datasets from higher education students in Germany and Ghana regarding access to digital devices; perceived value of digital media, tools, and services used for learning; gap analysis of the actual and desired use of digital teaching and learning formats; and types of media usage profiles among students. The findings…

Purpose: The study explored how Feifei, a 3-year-old trilingual girl living in England, uses touchscreens across her multiple languages (English, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia), exploring how her languages and social interactions interact with her touchscreen use. Design/methodology/approach: The research adopts a case study approach, using…

This study explored the mobile language learning experiences that Taiwanese high school English language teachers created. A total of 119 valid mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) lesson plans from 36 senior high schools in the national mobile learning (m-learning) programme in Taiwan were analysed via content analysis. The results showed…

This study explores the digital self-regulatory practices of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pre-service teachers via mobile applications in the post-pandemic era. The research is motivated by the need to address the absence of literature on the self-regulatory learning behaviours of EFL pre-service teachers in the aftermath of the…

Teachers' perspectives are critical to the implementation of mobile-assisted language learning, particularly smartphone-assisted English language learning (SAELL), but have received scant scholarly attention. This study focuses on teachers' perspectives, examining their changing perceptions of and readiness for SAELL in the context of post-COVID…

This study aimed to examine the relationships between the screen time of children with special needs and of their parents with their home participation, occupational performance, and parent-child relationships according to sex and diagnosis. Parents of 150 children with special needs (age range, 4 to 6 years) such as autism spectrum disorder,…

Introduction: The initial response of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the COVID-19 pandemic was to shift to online learning as a contingency. However, not all students were equipped with the appropriate resources to make this shift. Research problem: There is scant contemporary research outlining the types of educational resources…

Smartphones are the principal instrument for internet access among adolescents and pre-adolescents in many industrialized countries. However, research on the long-term correlates of age at first access to these devices concerning life outcomes is scarce. This study contributes to the literature by collecting data from 3,247 Italian students in…

Multitasking which has been reported to occur more frequently in online learning classes compared to traditional face-to-face settings has been found to have negative effects on students' learning.
