Despite advances in smartphone technologies and development of myriad apps that can support self-management efforts for chronic disease like diabetes, initial acceptance of such apps by actual users was characterized by low consistent use by these users. Few studies conducted by researchers on acceptance and use outcomes of mobile apps focused on…

This study set out to explore dedicated language learning apps pedagogically while focusing mainly on aspects of second language acquisition. A total of 20 English language learning apps were collected for analysis. The study took one model of analysing course book materials and another, computer-assisted language learning model and combined them…

"Algebra-as-gatekeeper" is a powerful paradigm that structures students' experiences within mathematics class, as well as their future educational trajectories. In this paper, I show how modeling--when conceived as a culturally relevant practice--can support students to make sense of the key ideas of algebra as well as develop positive…

Sri Lanka's education system was suddenly shifted from classroom-based free education to online-based distance learning as an emergency teaching and learning method (ETLM) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
