Having access to the Internet and acquiring the skills necessary to use, question, and create in a digital environment have become essential to living and working in the 21st century. Yet, this move to digitalization has created a digital divide between those who have broadband "access" and the "skills and attitudes" to…

The use of technological devices, especially mobile devices, in language learning has increased the number of studies in this field. In this regard, it is essential to identify students' attitudes towards mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). Therefore, the present study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate Gönülal's (2019) attitudes…

There is a growing need for chemistry students to be able to handle and manipulate large datasets and analyze them in an efficient and accessible way. This creates the need to develop course materials that introduce these topics early in the undergraduate curriculum. To address this growing need, this activity introduced RStudio to students…

Purpose: Phonologically complex targets (e.g., [pl-]) are understood to facilitate widespread gains following speech sound intervention, and yet, available research largely features word-"initial" clusters. The present study investigates intervention effects following treatment of complex clusters presented in word-"final"…

The early childhood period, often referred to as the "magical years of life" by many scientists, is when development occurs most rapidly after the prenatal stage. This rapid development necessitates heightened attention to ensure that children spend their time in ways that promote healthy growth. It is frequently observed that…

Every year, 4 million people die from upper respiratory infections. Mask-wearing is crucial in preventing the spread of pathogen-containing droplets, which is the primary cause of these infections. However, most experiments for evaluating mask efficacy are either expensive and complex or inaccurate. In this work, a novel, low-cost, and…

This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) regarding the use of smartphones in Physics Teaching. After the selection of Brazilian journals on Physics Teaching and Science Teaching with high CAPES Qualis in the four-year period 2017-2020, the initial search yielded 278 articles, which were subsequently filtered down to 51 open-access…

Personal phone usage--from group messaging to social media scrolling to online window shopping--is widespread in university classrooms. Numerous studies have documented how the presence of cell phones in the undergraduate classroom is more harmful than beneficial. Nevertheless, many educators are reluctant to enact and enforce a phone-free…

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Mobile AR (MAR) supported Flipped Learning Model (FLM) applications on the academic achievement of first year undergraduate students in General Chemistry Laboratory course and to investigate the students' views on MAR supported FLM. In the study carried out with a quasi-experimental design with…

This study presents a framework for integrating meaningful learning into a mobile learning context to enhance the learning achievement of natural science students through the utilization of advanced technologies and outdoor learning. An experiment was conducted on elementary school students to examine the effect of an Augmented Reality-based…

Concerns about the effects of social media use have led some states, districts, and schools to set policies limiting or banning student use of cellphones at school. Virginia implemented a bell-to-bell cellphone ban in January 2025, forbidding the use of cellphones during the school day. David T. Marshall and Tim Pressley surveyed teachers in a…

This systematic review examined the effectiveness in a hybrid telehealth model for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), exploring the evidence base, methodology, and outcomes of health and behavior-related interventions for adolescents with ASD. The 11 included studies (a) were quantitative, (b) evaluated interventions delivered…

This paper examines mobile cyberloafing, i.e. the use of phones for non-study purposes among Gen Z students, the first generation of digital natives. Drawing from research on misbehaviour and cyberloafing, we developed and tested a model with moral disengagement and subjective norms as predictors and psychological detachment and cognitive…

Ongoing smartphone use links to heightened technostress. However, the content types of smartphone use are various, and little is known about which types of content use are significantly associated with technostress. This study aims to examine the impacts of specific types of smartphone use (i.e., learning-related use, entertainment-related use,…

Mobile technologies and factors influencing English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' willingness to integrate them into their learning processes are significant. This study aims at investigating the role of facilitating conditions, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness as factors in predicting Iranian EFL learners' perceptions…
