The use of mobile technologies in education has appealed considerable interest and attention from educators and researchers in the last decade. Nonetheless, the effects of mobile learning on students’ learning outcome in science education are still ambiguous. The time and place flexibility, ubiquity and easy accessibility of mobile devices are among the features that make them valuable in m-learning, especially in science education, at present times. Despite the large number of researches conducted, no bibliometrics study has been carried out in this topic so far. The aim of this review is to assess the progress of international publications in the area of science education and mobile learning. This content analysis review shows the trends in publications regarding mobile learning and science education researches indexed in Web of Science database between years 2004-2019. Out of 57 documents related to the topic of interest found in the database of Web of Science, the results demonstrate that the publication frequency has increased after 2012 where the most productive year was 2016. Most of the published documents were proceedings papers and original articles. Taiwan and United States are the countries with most work published where Pakistan, Taiwan and China are the countries that funded the most scientific research. The top journal involving the publications associated with this topic is Computers & Education journal. A more comprehensive criteria has been used in this content analysis which has interpreted in detail. This study can provide a much clear picture of the field to researchers, educational leaders and funders to incorporate new understandings into their research.
The information society reveals the social impact of the dissemination of information technologies. The purpose of this article is to study the negative social, psychological, and pedagogical implications of the Internet on young people. The authors analyzed the internet addiction problem among students (14-19 years) from the standpoint of the social health of the individuals and society as a whole. In a pilot study, which involved more than 600 adolescent participants aged 14-19 years (secondary school, college and university students), the authors have defined internet addiction as a complex phenomenon. The prerequisites of its development identify and highlights its formation in stages among students (mild fascination, passion, addiction, attachment). At the ascertaining stage of the experiment, a screening study was carried out to examine the state of internet addiction in young students in social networks. The results showed the necessity to design and implement internet addiction prevention programs for young students, which include three main blocks (motivational and cognitive, practice-oriented, reflexive), and a systematic plan for its implementation in the educational space framework. The stages of the experiment provided evidence of the authors' proposed effectiveness of methodologies for young people aged 14-19 years. This article may be useful to pedagogues, psychologists, and parents of students, social workers, and researchers working in the field of addiction prevention among young people.
As one of the developing technologies and increased use in the field of ed-ucation, Augmented Reality (AR) technology adds a digital (audio, video, graphic and GPS location) layer to authentic world images. The aim of this study is to determine students’ attitudes regarding AR contents developed for science education. The study group consists of 77 7th grade students studying in a private college during 2018-2019 academic year spring se-mester. The study adopted quantitative data collection method and imple-mented Attitude Scale for Augmented Reality Applications. The collected data were analyzed through paired samples statistics, mean and standard deviation. The data analysis showed that students were satisfied with AR applications, found it interesting and easy to use and would like to use it in the future.
The paper discussed challenges of the rapidly developing, advancing and updating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) from the point of view of social philosophy. Information and communication technology implies unique knowledge, methodologies, models, and problems that are not easily addressed by the existing Russian sociologists and philosophers, and hence there is a need to study one of the challenges as a subject. Advances in Information and Communication Technology and its accompanying impacts on the society development have led researchers to consider the social and philosophical interpretation of the problem concerning the development of new social reality in the context of information and communication technologies. The study has been based on the methodological principles of social philosophy, transdisciplinary research strategy, the concept of neuromarketing, the concept of neurosociology, and the concept of social reality simulation. The authors considered the problem as a current critical turning point of the history on the basis of interdisciplinary, global approach used to understand the processes penetrating into almost all spheres of life and life support systems and into the development of new institutions related to human development innovations. The survey resulted in the developing a theoretical model to study the role of dynamically developing information and communication technologies in new social reality. Materials of the article confirm the main knowledge increment obtained while studying the challenges is concerned with the role of information and communication technologies in creating and constructing new social reality.
The general purpose of this research is to determine the readiness of university students studying in the computer engineering programme on the Zoom application. The quantitative research method was used in the study. The research was carried out in the fall semester of 2020-2021. The working group consists of university students studying in the computer engineering programme of various universities in Kosovo and Russian Federation. 420 university students participated in the research. For the research, university students were given 5 weeks of online training. A measurement tool called ‘distance education applications’ developed by the researchers was applied to the university students. The data were shared with university students on the Internet with an online questionnaire and their participation was ensured and collected. The collected data were analysed using the SPSS programme. It was concluded that the readiness status of the university students showed positive results, and the live lesson status of the female university students was higher than the male students. In addition, it was concluded that they got used to the system they used in the common lessons before, and that the training on this system affected them positively.
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.
