Chih-Hung Lin; Dadan Sumardani – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Virtual Reality (VR) has been widely adopted in educational research; however, its implementation in the classroom is still not as well known as in the research field. In other words, there is a gap between researchers and practitioners regarding the pedagogical issue. This study aimed to explore how VR could be applied in science classrooms using…

Uun Hariyanti; Wu-Yuin Hwang; Rio Nurtantyana; Herman Dwi Surjono; Irma Nuur Rochmah; Anh Hoang; Muhammad Irfan Luthfi; Muhamad Trio Maulana Putra – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Authentic contextual learning (ACL) with mobile apps near home became prevalent and promising due to the COVID-19 pandemic since students were asked to learn near home without going to school. However, learning with mobile apps may cause problematic issues, such as anxiety and acceptance of either students or parents. This study aims to…

Jie Fang; Fong Peng Chew; Mohd Shahril Nizam Shaharom – Knowledge Management & E-Learning, 2024
Although Chinese has become one of the most influential second/foreign languages in the world, teaching Chinese as a foreign/second language (CSL/CFL) abroad faces great challenges. M-learning and mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) display great advantages to facilitate second language learning, including CSL/CFL. However, most research was…

Yeh, Hui-Chin; Heng, Leechin; Tseng, Sheng-Shiang – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021
Video-making projects have often been used to facilitate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' active application of target language acquired in classroom settings to authentic learning environments. However, few empirical studies have focused on how the activity can foster and enhance EFL students' writing skills. Fifty-seven EFL students…

Hsiao-Ping Wu; Carmen Cáceda – ORTESOL Journal, 2024
There is a consensus in language learning and teaching that the concept of authenticity in the classroom is beneficial to the learning process. This phenomenology case study explored 31 EFL high school students' perceptions about the authenticity of using English as the language of instruction during synchronic lessons with U.S. teachers. Data was…

Liu, Yi-Fan; Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Liu, Zi-Yan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Teaching English in a classroom setting where EFL learners were usually sitting at desks and doing English learning tasks using paper and pencil is inefficient. It has considerable potential problems that could lead to students learning in a passive state. More specifically, the teaching materials are inconsistent with students' authentic…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Utami, Ika Qutsiati; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi; Chen, Holly S. L. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
This paper aimed to investigate the effect of a mobile app on mathematics learning in authentic contexts. Authentic contexts contain rich resources wherein students can use authentic objects as aid in advanced educational technology-assisted mathematics learning. We designed Ubiquitous-Fraction (U-Fraction), a mobile application that helps…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Hariyanti, Uun; Abdillah, Yan Amal; Chen, Holly S. L. – Educational Technology & Society, 2021
Geometry is essential for mathematics learning given that it is strongly related to our surroundings; however, few studies concentrated on using geometry in our daily life, especially using mobile devices with their sensors. Thus, this study proposed one app, Ubiquitous Geometry (UG), and explored its effects on learning angles and polygons in…

Nguyen, Thi-Huyen; Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Pham, Xuan-Lam; Pham, Thao – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Our study explored EFL writing skills in relation to self-experience in an authentic learning context with the help of a mobile application. Two authentic writing activities ('Tell your story' and 'Describe your context') were designed and compared to see if they resulted in significant differences in EFL writing performance and writing behavior.…

Hung, Yu-Han – Journal of International Social Studies, 2019
This study utilized the term "teacher as stranger" from Maxine Greene's (1973) "Teacher as Stranger" to explore how teachers teach contemporary controversial public issues in Taiwan (e.g., national identity, sovereignty, and ethnic issues). Using a case study design, this study documents how six social studies teachers make…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi; Liu, Yi-Fan; Zhang, Yun-Yuan; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
Geometry students have few opportunities to apply geometric concepts and solve geometry problems in authentic contexts. We developed a Ubiquitous Geometry (UG) system to teach geometry to elementary students by using it to measure common objects in authentic contexts. The instant study investigates the effects of UG on student geometry estimation…

Kacetl, Jaroslav; Klímová, Blanka – Education Sciences, 2019
At present, hardly any younger person can imagine life without mobile technologies. They use them on a daily basis, including in language learning. Such learning supported with mobile devices is called mobile learning, which seems beneficial especially thanks to the unique features of mobile applications (e.g., interactivity, ubiquity, and…
