Integration of Mentimeter into the Classroom: A Scoping Review

Abstract

The rapid development in technology and information has inspired educators to explore innovative technological resources and assets to promote the quality of teaching and learning. Student Response Systems (SRS) have been acknowledged as having a significant influence on student engagement, motivation, and overall achievement. This scoping review investigated the integration of Mentimeter in the educational context to determine its effectiveness for both teaching and learning processes. The included studies were screened for only those that investigated the use of Mentimeter in the classroom, while including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, short articles, book chapters, and review articles from 2015 to 2022 that were available in English without limitation on discipline. The 57 publications that met the eligibility criteria were coded for various characteristics, the most significant of which are discipline, geographical region, publication type, research method and outcomes. Our results reveal the numerous merits gained from integrating Mentimeter in educational settings, including: 1) benefits not only to enriching student-centered pedagogy, but also encapsulating a diverse audience of cultural backgrounds and competencies; 2) providing immediate feedback for anonymous student responses; 3) enhancing student motivation; 4) engaging students’ active participation. The results of this study provide initiatives for teachers and educational researchers to conduct further research on various educational technology platforms, and highlight the advantages of integrating technology into the educational setting. While teachers and practitioners persevere to transform the learning experience through technology, we emphasize the necessity for continuous research to investigate different learning platforms that considerably improve learning outcomes.

Enhancing EFL students’ engagement in online synchronous classes: The role of the Mentimeter platform

“…Technology-integrated learning and online cutting-edge tools play an important role in enhancing students' different learning styles and stimulating their interest and motivation toward online learning. In this regard, Madiseh et al (2022) carried out a scoping review to look into how well mental models are incorporated into teaching and learning. According to the study's conclusions, Mentimeter's integration into educational settings improved student motivation by encouraging active participation from students, enhancing student-centered pedagogy, and giving prompt feedback for anonymous student responses.…”

Effects of Using Technology to Engage Students in Learning English at a Secondary school

“…In addition, according to Madiseh, Abri, and Sobhanifar (2022), the rapid development in technology and information has inspired teachers to explore innovative technology resources and promote the quality of teaching and learning. In addition, the application of technology can create a natural language learning environment, enable students to access accurate speech of native speakers, and make the teaching process more attractive.…”

The Implementation of Interactive PowerPoint Media in Thematic Learning at an Elementary School

“…The rapid integration of technology into the fabric of human existence has brought forth sweeping transformations across various facets of life, exerting a profound influence on educational systems (Bartusevičienė & Valionienė, 2021;Benchea, 2021;Dimitriadou & Lanitis, 2023;Farag, 2018;Loukil et al, 2021;Madiseh et al, 2022). Within the domain of information technology, advancements have subtly but significantly impacted traditional teaching methodologies.…”
