Background: Wearable technologies offer new opportunities to address in-school physical inactivity. However, children are often excluded from discussing issues which directly impact them, including the use of wearable technologies in a school setting. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand primary school pupils' experiences and perceptions…

There is research evidence that creative agency has attracted worldwide attention in mainstream education as it could foster learners' active roles in taking control of their creative processes. However, without appropriate supporting tools, students may struggle to convey their ideas in complex creative practices. Digital storytelling and mobile…

A quasi-experimental research design was incorporated by selecting one section of 30…

This paper presents a case study of two sixth-grade students' use of an iPad as an instructional tool for mathematics. Based on their written and oral responses, we investigated and analyzed their meaning making process with mathematical content in a classroom where the iPad was a central tool for teaching practices. The analyses were based on…

Writing is considered the most arduous academic task in school. Many students struggle with motivating themselves to engage in text production due to the enormous cognitive load it requires. In this pilot study, we used a simple electronic device that emits silent vibration signals at programmed intervals to help five sixth graders to stay focused…

In science classrooms, technology affordance varies depending on device-student ratios (DSR) and the ways virtual manipulatives on mobile devices are used. Additionally, external scripts (ES) are widely used to promote effective group interaction in collaborative learning. Therefore, this research explored the influence of DSR and ES on…

Background: Gamification is the use of game design elements, such as rules of play, point scoring and competition, in a non-game context, in learning activities. We designed a game, based on the famous augmented reality game "Pokémon GO," called Insects GO in which players should capture images of real insects with their mobile phones.…

Digital game addiction was classified as a disease by the World Health Organization. It is characterized by impaired control over gaming and increasing priority given to gaming over other activities.

Some augmented reality applications are being prepared using 4D-technology and transforming the virtual environment into real life. The…

The number of one-to-one mobile programs in elementary schools as a resource to substitute the textbook has become popular worldwide. However, findings of studies that seek to enable understanding of how the daily use of these mobile devices affects student's engagement in the classroom are heterogeneous. The authors utilized and adapted a…

The study aimed to develop a Likert-type measurement tool (Digital Literacy Scale, DLS) to determine the digital literacy levels of secondary school students. The validity and reliability of the developed measurement tool were verified using the Rasch model. The Rasch Model can estimate missing data and allow for small study groups (Rasch, Rasch,…

Mobile augmented reality (MAR) draws attention in terms of providing a flexible learning process and environment. It is thought that learning environments can be more effective using MAR technology. The research aimed to determine the secondary school students' views on the use of MAR technology in science teaching. The research was conducted with…

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the integration of tablets and a mobile application for fitness development into a PE lesson in primary education, in schools that did not apply a 'one tablet per child' policy, on students' intrinsic motivation for the PE lesson. Four 5th grade and four 6th grade classes (145 students aged…
