This article presents a review of research on smartphone usage in educational science settings published between January 2015 and August 2022, and aims to provide an overview of the constructs evaluated and to identify potential gaps in current research for researchers working on this topic. Specifically, the search for publications in the relevant years was narrowed down to such studies that provided empirical evidence for the impact of smartphone usage on teaching and learning in natural science education. The databases used for the search were ERIC, Scopus, and Web of Science. In total, 100 articles were surveyed. The study findings were categorized regarding the type of smartphone usage, as well as the type of educational institution and constructs investigated. Overall, the results from this review show that smartphone usage in educational science environments has the potential for rather positive effects, such as an increase in learning achievements or an increase in motivation, and smartphone usage rarely leads to detrimental effects. Despite the substantial amount of studies to date, more research in these areas would allow for more generalized statistical results and analyses and is therefore desirable.
Der Einsatz digitaler Lernmedien bildet einen zentralen Bestandteil des zeitgemäßen Chemieunterrichts. Der Zugriff auf diese Medien kann beispielsweise über Smartphones erfolgen. Fraglich ist jedoch, ob Lernende dabei ihr eigenes Gerät oder eines der Schule nutzen sollten. Das Forschungsprojekt „smart for science“ untersucht beide Besitzbedingungen mit Hinblick auf ihre Lernwirksamkeit. Zu diesem Zweck wird unter anderem das Distraktionsverhalten analysiert. Der Hintergrund und das Design des Projekts werden in diesem Beitrag beschrieben.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
