Educators have indicated the need to foster students' ability to solve problems by acquiring up‐to‐date knowledge as well as promoting their competences for making decisions from diverse perspectives based on the acquired knowledge. Traditional courses mainly use lecture‐based instruction without providing sufficient opportunities for students to practice and interact with the teacher; therefore, it is difficult to deliver such up‐to‐date knowledge via traditional instruction, not to mention fostering students' critical thinking. In this study, the Mobile technology–supported Decision, Reflection and Exercise (MDRE) model is proposed to address this problem. Moreover, a learning system is developed based on the proposed approach. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a quasi‐experiment was conducted in a university with a two‐group pretest posttest design to assess participants' learning achievement, critical thinking and learning satisfaction. The participants were two classes of undergraduate students. One class with 37 students was the experimental group learning with the MDRE learning approach, whereas the other class with 37 students was the control group learning with the conventional technology‐based learning approach. Analysis of covariance was performed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the target outcomes. It was found that the experimental group showed better learning achievement, critical thinking and learning satisfaction than the control group. This implies that the MDRE approach has good potential in helping learners think from diverse perspectives and promoting their learning performance and engagement, which is important in higher education aimed at fostering students' competence of acquiring up‐to‐date knowledge for solving problems. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic Fostering students' problem‐solving competence is an important educational objective. The advancement of mobile and wireless communication technologies provides opportunities for students to acquire up‐to‐date information for solving problems. In the conventional technology‐enhanced professional learning mode, instructors generally use computers to present learning content and exemplary cases. In such a learning mode, learners have few opportunities to think in depth. What this paper adds A Mobile technology–supported Decision, Reflection and Exercise (MDRE) approach is proposed to guide students to make decisions and think from diverse perspectives via acquiring up‐to‐date information using a mobile application. An experiment was conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The experimental results showed that the MDRE approach is able to boost students' creative thinking tendency and learning satisfaction as well as promoting their lear...

“…Mobile learning can adapt local wisdom so that learning is more interactive and able to improve students' physics argumentation skills (Liliarti & Kuswanto, 2018). Some physics learning topics that are difficult for students to imagine can be made an interactive application or platform, from research by Mardiana & Kuswanto, (2017);Criollo-C et al, (2021); Tan & Heh., (2019);Ruiz-Rube et al, (2019) with the development of interactive applications for mobile learning, can improve critical thinking and problem solving skills, and students show positive responses, more active, high level of satisfaction. Interactive media can trigger positive mental health and increase students' selfconfidence (Gharaibeh & Gharaibeh, 2020;Gasah et al, 2020).…”

The existence of a research topic can be seen from the research trend. Analysis that can map data to determine the trend of a study is using bibliometrics. The purpose of this study is to compare trends of mobile, web, and e-learning research and their contribution to physics learning in the last twenty years. The data was obtained from Scopus which was processed using Ms. Excel and VOSviewer. The three topics show a steady increasing trend in the last three years. The highest average citation per paper per year is in 2020. The most widely used keywords are mobile learning, web-based learning and e-learning. The contribution of the three topics to physics learning includes increasing motivation, learning outcomes, etc. Future research can be carried out to compare the contribution of the three topics to other learning systems such as STEM, STEAM, etc. using databases other than Scopus. Keywords: Bibliometrics; E-Learning; Mobile Learning; Physics Learning; Web Learning.

Traditional in-app virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR) applications pose a challenge of reaching users due to their dependency on operating systems (Android, iOS). Besides, it is difficult for general users to create their own VR/AR applications and foster their creative ideas without advanced programming skills. This paper addresses these issues by proposing an interactive extended reality toolkit, named BlocklyXR. The objective of this research is to provide general users with a visual programming environment to build an extended reality application for digital storytelling. The contextual design was generated from real-world map data retrieved from Mapbox GL. ThreeJS was used for setting up, rendering 3D environments, and controlling animations. A block-based programming approach was adapted to let users design their own story. The capability of BlocklyXR was illustrated with a use case where users were able to replicate the existing PalmitoAR utilizing the block-based authoring toolkit with fewer efforts in programming. The technology acceptance model was used to evaluate the adoption and use of the interactive extended reality toolkit. The findings showed that visual design and task technology fit had significantly positive effects on user motivation factors (perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness). In turn, perceived usefulness had statistically significant and positive effects on intention to use, while there was no significant impact of perceived ease of use on intention to use. Study implications and future research directions are discussed.
