Mobiiliopetuksen käyttömahdollisuuksia : oppilaiden omien mobiililaitteiden käyttö peruskoulun alakoulun opetuksessa

2015

Muutaman viime vuoden aikana mobiililaitteiden käyttö kouluissa on yleistynyt. Tämä on osittain aiheuttanut ristiriitaista keskustelua laitteiden käytöstä opetuksessa. Osa opettajista on ottanut mobiililaitteet opetuskäyttöön innokkaasti. Mobiiliopetuksen mahdollisuuksia ei kuitenkaan ole vielä kovin paljon tutkittu. Tällä tutkimuksella oli tarkoitus selvittää, mitä mahdollisuuksia oppilaiden omat mobiililaitteet tarjoavat opetukseen. Aineiston analyysissa pyrittiin etsimään tietoa siitä, miten ongelma-perustaisen opetuksen menetelmä ja pelillisyys vaikuttavat opetus- ja oppimisprosessissa, kun opiskelumenetelmänä käytetään mobiilioppimista ja oppilaiden omia mobiililaitteita. Tutkimus teht…

A Phenomenographic Research Study of Students’ Conceptions of Mobile Learning: An Example From Higher Education

2019

This article aims to identify different ways of using mobile devices in students’ learning in higher education. This qualitative research presents the findings from a phenomenographic research of students’ conceptions of mobile learning (m-learning) in higher education. A cohort of 16 students from four universities of Bangladesh took part in semi-structured interviews to explore their in-depth understandings and experiences of m-learning. The findings indicate that university students perceived five qualitatively different ways of using mobile devices in their learning: a medium for communication; a medium for management of learning materials; a tool for effective learning; a means for co…

The Nature Tour Mobile Learning Application. Implementing the Mobile Application in Finnish Early Childhood Education Settings

2014

This paper explores the process and impact of the implementation of the Nature Tour mobile learning application in Finnish early childhood education settings. The interest is to explore whether the concept of Nature Tour mobile application meets the needs of early childhood education in field trips. The idea of the mobile application is to help recording and comparing nature observations as well as to arouse children’s interest in nature. The feasibility of the mobile application was evaluated through a theoretical framework, which includes the core aspects of mobile learning. The evaluation framework consists of two levels titled core level and medium level. Three of the core level aspects…

A mobile game as a support tool for children with severe difficulties in reading and spelling

2020

We used a randomized controlled trial to investigate if a mobile game, GraphoLearn (GL), could effectively support the learning of first graders (N = 70), who have severe difficulties in reading and spelling. We studied the effects of two versions of the game: GL Reading, which focused on training letter-sound correspondence and word reading; and GL Spelling, which included additional training in phonological skills and spelling. During the spring of first grade, the children trained with tablet computers which they could carry with them during the six-week intervention. The average exposure time to training was 5 hr 44 min. The results revealed no differences in the development of reading …

Teachers' attitudes, competencies, and readiness to adopt mobile learning approaches

2014

This study explores how teachers' attitudes and competencies influence their willingness to adopt mobile learning approaches. By mobile learning we mean teaching approaches that use mobile devices to enliven and extend traditional teaching. Of particular interest is exploring how first-order (e.g. lack of adequate access, time, training and support) and secondorder (e.g. teacher's pedagogical and technological beliefs and willingness to change) barriers affect teachers' beliefs and attitudes. In the autumn of 2012, we conducted three mobile learning case studies in Central Finland. We used semistructured interviews to collect data. The study indicated that positive experiences raised teache…

The Nigerian Education and the Opportunities ahead for Mobile Learning

2018

: Information technology is providing opportunities to improve education and therefore, research is needed to identify what gaps exist and how these gaps can become opportunities for technology integration such as mobile learning. This paper suggests that successful integration of technology towards improving quality education should be driven by the existing challenges which are contextually peculiar for every country. The case of the Nigerian education was examined alongside practices and policies. The study used secondary data from Nigeria Education Data Survey (NEDS). This paper highlights three major problems that Nigeria faces in basic education, namely: large number of out of school …

Enhancing Children’s Outdoor Learning Experiences with a Mobile Application

2015

This paper examines how a mobile learning application can enhance children’s outdoor learning experiences. The study draws upon empirical evidence gathered in one case study conducted in a Finnish primary school setting in the fall of 2012. The data were collected with student and teacher surveys. The case study indicated that the mobile application provided children with tangible, motivating, and educative experiences. The mobile application also clearly encouraged social interaction. In addition, the case study highlighted the significance of pedagogy. Thus the appropriate way to utilize mobile applications in an educational context requires a balance in which the technology use is comple…

Opiskelijoiden podcastit ja vlogit kielenoppimisen ja arvioinnin tukena

2020

Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia tarjoaa monia mahdollisuuksia kielen oppimiseen, opettamiseen ja arviointiin. Podcastit ja vlogit ovat monille opiskelijoille vapaa-ajalta tuttuja, mutta yliopisto-opetuksessa niitä on toistaiseksi käytetty vain rajallisesti. Tässä artikkelissa esittelen opetuskokeilujani, joissa olen hyödyntänyt opiskelijoiden tekemiä vlogeja ja podcasteja osana pohjoismaisten kielten kursseja. Onnistuneet kokeilut ja positiivinen opiskelijapalaute innostavat jatkamaan vlogien ja podcastien käyttöä opetuksessa ja arvioinnissa myös jatkossa. nonPeerReviewed

Käyttäjäkokemustutkimus mobiiliopiskelusta sambialaisessa ympäristössä

2016

Maailmanlaajuinen informaatioteknologian kehittyminen ja leviäminen mahdollistaa ajasta ja paikasta riippumattoman opiskelemisen, josta tässä tutkielmassa käytetään nimeä mobiilioppiminen. Mobiilioppiminen on yksi edullisimmista ja vaivattomimmista tavoista kehittää maan koulutustasoa, ja koulutustason parantaminen taas on erityisesti kehitysmaiden intressi. Uudenlaisen teknologian käyttöönottoon liittyy kuitenkin myös teknologian omaksuminen osaksi vakiintuneita työtapoja. Onnistuneeseen omaksumiseen voidaan olennaisesti vaikuttaa positiivisella käyttäjäkokemuksella. Tämä tutkielma perehtyy kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla käyttäjäkokemuksen muodostumiseen käytettävyyden, teknologian omaksumi…
