The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of training plus Practice-Based Coaching (PBC), delivered via text message, on teacher use of targeted Pyramid Model (PM) practices. A multiple baseline design across behaviors was replicated across three early childhood teachers. Following training on self-selected target practices, the…

Purpose: Mobile learning has seen tremendous growth over the years. Like any other software application, usability is one of the key concerns in its successful implementation. There is a lack of study that provides a comprehensive overview of usability testing of mobile learning applications. Motivated by this a mapping study is conducted.…

Aim/Purpose: This research aims to empirically investigate and answer the following research questions: Do students' self-control and smartphone e-learning readiness influence smartphone-cyberloafing, and does gender play a role in this relationship? Background: Research indicates that many students' learning time is wasted due to cyberloafing,…

Mobile phone interventions are evidence-based methods for preventing obesity among Latino adults and school-aged children; however, few such interventions exist to improve the obesogenic behaviors of children in the developmentally critical preschool years (ages 2-5). Focusing on this age group is important since over one-quarter of 2- 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…

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…

Schools have become a primary context for assessing and addressing social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties in response to the youth mental health crisis. However, traditional paper-based assessments are often hindered by time constraints and rater bias, limiting their effectiveness for early identification and intervention.…

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…

Background: Learner-generated digital media has gained significant attention as a supplementary learning tool. However, a need exists for empirical research to discern among various learner-generated digital media formats. One potential area of divergence lies in the arousal levels evoked during media creation due to varying emphasis on the…

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…

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…

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…

Knowledge of building code is required for most building design licenses. However, designers often find the process confusing and overwhelming. The cognitive load theory suggests dividing information between visual and verbal formats reduces working memory burden, while concept mapping and mobile apps enhance learning. This study tests the…
