Investigating Determinants Of Faculty Members’ Intentions To Use Mobile Learning For Educational Purposes, Ibrahim Abdullah Albahli
Investigating Determinants Of Faculty Members’ Intentions To Use Mobile Learning For Educational Purposes, Ibrahim Abdullah Albahli
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Mobile learning is a rapidly growing field in education that has gained increasing worldwide attention in recent years due to the widespread availability of mobile devices and their potential to enhance learning experiences. In Saudi Arabia, higher education institutions have explored the use of mobile learning to support teaching and learning, though limited research examines factors related to the use of mobile learning by faculty members. To ensure the success of mobile learning integration in higher education environments, it is vital to examine faculty members’ behavioral intentions to use mobile learning for educational purposes. This quantitative study investigated how the …
High School Teachers’ Concerns With The Use Of Multiple Mobile Devices For Instruction, Orin Carpenter
High School Teachers’ Concerns With The Use Of Multiple Mobile Devices For Instruction, Orin Carpenter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Smartphones, laptops, and tablets are mobile devices that are now considered essential tools for high school educators. The problem many teachers face is figuring out how to manage multiple mobile devices in the classroom at the same time. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the barriers, problems, and challenges teachers experience while using these devices in the classroom. The concerns-based adoption model provided the framework to analyze the informational, personal, management, and consequence stages of concern through in-depth interviews with 10 Catholic high school teachers in California. The results of thematic analysis showed that although teachers …

Toward A Ubiquitous Learning Media: Encouraging Understanding By Virtual Reality-Based Learning, Idris Idris, Agus Purnomo, Bayu Kurniawan
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
The use of mainstream media is no longer attractive to students. They enjoy more and are more enthusiastic about virtual learning which provides the greatest possible opportunity for direct contact or as if to experience directly the object of the material being studied. This study aimed to develop an Android-based application with virtual reality (VR) in the material kingdom and Hindu-Buddhist heritage (SijarVi-information system of virtual reality-based learning). This product was intended to provide anti-mainstream learning media, which provides opportunities for students to be directly involved and see directly the object being studied. This development used research and development method …
One To One Device Initiative Implementation In A Rural High School In Mississippi, Roxanne Hall
One To One Device Initiative Implementation In A Rural High School In Mississippi, Roxanne Hall
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractOne-to-one device initiatives provide access to digital learning for students; however, little is known about how this process occurs in rural schools. Implementing a one-to-one device initiative may have positive effects on student access to digital technologies as well as student and teacher efficacy when sufficient training happens beforehand. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine the implementation of a one-to-one laptop initiative in a rural high school in Mississippi, focusing on policy development and stakeholder views. The conceptual framework of implementation science and theoretical frameworks of normalization process theory and adaptive implementation guided the research. The …

Parental Perceptions Of Mobile Device Learning For Students In Special Education, Persjha T. Conry
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore parentsâ perceptions of the use of mobile devices as tools for learning for their children in special education settings. Research literature on mobile-device use in special education indicates that little is known regarding parentsâ perception of mlearning. While studies provided information on teachersâ perspectives of mlearning in their special education classrooms, parentsâ perspectives on mlearning to support their childrenâs needs remained unexplored. The conceptual frameworks used included Rogersâs diffusion of innovation theory and Hoover-Dempsey and Sandlerâs theory of parental involvement. Individual semistructured interviews of eight parents of elementary students in …

Virtual Enhancement To Physical Spaces: A Qr Code Based Orientation Game, Vanessa P. Dennen, Shuang Hao, Sungwoong Lee, Taehyeong Lim
The Emerging Learning Design Journal
University orientations are typically passive events for students, with activities that include sitting and listening to speakers and perhaps talking to others seated nearby. In this project, the authors sought to provide a more active and collaborative component to a university orientation via a team-based game that incorporated content included in a typical orientation and modeled appropriate instructional technology use. This mobile orientation game used QR codes and videos to augment the physical environment of an academic building. This paper describes the design and development process for this game, and presents the results of an evaluation conducted at the end. …

The Effect Of Device When Using Smartphones And Computers To Answer Multiple-Choice And Open-Response Questions In Distance Education, Thomas Royce Wilson
The Effect Of Device When Using Smartphones And Computers To Answer Multiple-Choice And Open-Response Questions In Distance Education, Thomas Royce Wilson
Teaching & Learning Theses & Dissertations
Traditionally in higher education, online courses have been designed for computer users. However, the advent of mobile learning (m-learning) and the proliferation of smartphones have created two challenges for online students and instructional designers. First, instruction designed for a larger computer screen often loses its effectiveness when displayed on a smaller smartphone screen. Second, requiring students to write remains a hallmark of higher education, but miniature keyboards might restrict how thoroughly smartphone users respond to open- response test questions. The present study addressed both challenges by featuring m-learning’s greatest strength (multimedia) and by investigating its greatest weakness (text input).

New Or Novice Teacher Integration Of Mobile Learning Instruction, Carolyn Anne Beisel
New Or Novice Teacher Integration Of Mobile Learning Instruction, Carolyn Anne Beisel
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition (SAMR) model is designed to help teachers integrate technology in the classroom. In a district with 1:1 mobile technology, teachers expressed frustration and inconsistency about the use the SAMR model for effective teaching and learning. In this project study, the SAMR model conceptually framed the exploration of teachers' integration of mobile learning and their perceptions about using technology in the classroom. Guiding research questions addressed teacher's integration of the SAMR model and elements that contributed to their instruction with mobile technology. A qualitative case study of a school district included purposeful sampling of 12 …
Evaluating Language-Learning Mobile Apps For Second-Language Learners, Xiaojun Chen
Evaluating Language-Learning Mobile Apps For Second-Language Learners, Xiaojun Chen
Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)
As mobile technologies become more affordable and more advanced in function, researchers suggest that using mobile apps to assist English language learning are appropriate. This three-step evaluation study (designing a theory-driven rubric, selecting apps, and evaluating the apps) aims to investigate and evaluate the affordances of English language learning mobile apps for adult learners. The results of this evaluation study contribute to the literature of mobile learning targeting adult learners, and also broaden the knowledge body of integrating mobile learning into English Language Learning (ELL) classes.
