Paye, Ciana L.; Dunnagan, Cathi L.; Tredwell, David A.; Gallardo-Williams, Maria T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Lewis structures are a very important, foundational concept in chemistry. Students usually acquire this knowledge in General Chemistry and need to review it in preparation for Organic Chemistry. However, many students find the task of drawing Lewis structures to be challenging, and not all instructors can budget enough time in class to review this…

Morales, Pamela K.; Roslan, Nadiah; Haas, Andrea; Lykins, Amy D. – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2021
Limited knowledge exists on participant outcomes relating to citizen science programs. Using the ClimateWatch: Scientist for a Day program as a case study, we sought to understand participant behaviors and attitudes post-program, and evaluated the program's post-engagement initiatives. Phone interviews were conducted with 15 former participants.…

Maushagen, Jan; De Troyer, Olga – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
We propose a novel model for learning environments to target the characteristics of digital natives and to improve informal learning practices, i.e. the exploration, discovery and self-monitoring of learning content and the reflection on learning activities. The Mobile Playful Learning Environment (MPLE) model is defined as consisting of seven…

Freeman, Felicity S. H. B.; Chechik, Lova; Todd, Iain – Physics Education, 2020
3D printing (additive manufacturing) is an emerging technology with the ability to make complex, free-form shapes from materials including plastics, metals and ceramics. While additive manufacturing has many advantages over more traditional processes, it can be difficult to control, which can then lead to defects in the finished part. Closed-loop…

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna; Carotenuto, Gemma; Sinclair, Nathalie – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Research has highlighted the potential of digital technology to support the development of children's number sense abilities. However, the main focus of such research has been on apps affording directed interactions, where only one solution strategy is available, and it has targeted mostly cardinality. Little is known, in these terms, about task…

Reichert, Frank; Zhang, Deju; Law, Nancy W. Y.; Wong, Gary K. W.; de la Torre, Jimmy – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Digital literacy competence (DL) is an important capacity for students' learning in a rapidly changing world. However, little is known about the empirical structure of DL. In this paper, we review major DL assessment frameworks and explore the dimensionality of DL from an empirical perspective using assessment data collected using authentic…

Bossé, Michael J.; Cook, William J.; Castonguay, Joseph M. – PRIMUS, 2020
Following a line of inquiry regarding the exact number of real roots of a real polynomial, this investigation considers: Descartes' Rule of Signs, the Budan-Fourier Theorem, and versions of Sturm's Method in contrast with the approximate root count gleaned from graphing utilities. Online applets are provided to allow the reader to freely…

Firchow, Pamina; Mac Ginty, Roger – Sociological Methods & Research, 2020
One of the main obstacles for survey researchers--especially those conducting surveys in difficult contexts such as postconflict areas--is accessing respondents. In order to address this problem, this article draws on an ongoing research project to reflect on the utility of mobile phones to connect with hard-to-access populations in conflict…

Pierratos, Theodoros; Polatoglou, Hariton M. – Physics Education, 2020
In this work, we propose an interesting combination of the Atwood machine and Galileo's inclined plane to study quantitatively kinematics with a smartphone and the phyphox app. For this purpose, we use the optical stopwatch function, based on the photosensor of the smartphone. The choice of phyphox app has some advantages for presenting the…

Zhukova, Marina A.; Kilani, Hechmi; Garcia, Jessica L.; Tan, Mei; Parell, Paul D.; Hein, Sascha; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Digital media is becoming increasingly prevalent in households and classroom settings lowering the age of first exposure to technology; however, little is known about how children experience digital media and how their experiences relate to learning and social engagement. In this case study, we followed a 28-month-old boy in a naturalistic setting…

Xodabande, Ismail; Atai, Mahmood Reza – Open Learning, 2022
The current study investigated the contribution of a mobile application for self-directed and autonomous learning of academic vocabulary among English as a Foreign language (EFL) university students. Furthermore, we examined the long-term impacts of mobile-assisted vocabulary learning, by using a pre-, post-, and delayed post-test design. The…

Bruhn, Allison; Wehby, Joseph; Hoffman, Lesa; Estrapala, Sara; Rila, Ashley; Hancock, Eleanor; Van Camp, Alyssa; Sheaffer, Amanda; Copeland, Bailey – Behavioral Disorders, 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of MoBeGo, a mobile self-monitoring app, on the initial and sustained academic engagement and disruptive behavior of third- to eighth-grade students with challenging behavior. Student-teacher pairs (N = 57) were randomly assigned to the treatment (MoBeGo) or control (business-as-usual)…
