“…IoT in education is a new conceptual paradigm that is still in its starting phase with a potential benefit and impact in the learning process that has not yet been realized [24][25][26]. Although there were several contributions on the inclusion of IoT into the education domain [27,28], there is still a lack of consolidated and coherent view on this topic [21], and there are several socio-technological challenges associated with it [29]. There is also a minimal number of educational applications that take advantage of IoT's potential in the learning process and are appropriate for lower grades of formal education, as the majority of applications targets higher education [27,30,31] or secondary education [32].…”

“…For example, only 11% (10 papers) of studies that employed IoT in education and were included in the literature review of [21] targeted elementary school students. Sensors and IoT data collection technologies allow students to be engaged in actual research in the way scientists are, and this helps students build an understanding of science concepts [29]. However, no studies were identified that used the IoT to influence young children's UV protection knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.…”

“…Since each sensor has a unique Device ID number, more than one can be connected to a computer or tablet at the same time [34]. The proposed sensors can be integrated into the primary school curriculum circumventing some of the technical challenges described in the literature [29].…”

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is linked to skin cancer. Children are more vulnerable to UV harmful effects compared to adults. Children’s active involvement in using Internet of Things (IoT) devices to collect and analyze real-time UV radiation data is suggested to increase their awareness of UV protection. This quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group study implemented light sensors in a STEM inquiry-based learning environment focusing on UV radiation and protection in primary education. This exploratory, small-scale study investigated the effect of a STEM environment implementing IoT devices on 6th graders’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about UV radiation and protection. Participants were 31 primary school students. Experimental group participants (n = 15) attended four eighty-minute inquiry-based lessons on UV radiation and protection and used sensors to measure and analyze UV radiation in their school. Data sources included questionnaires on UV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors administered pre- and post-intervention. Statistically significant learning gains were found only for the experimental group (t14 = −3.64, p = 0.003). A statistically significant positive behavioral change was reported for experimental group participants six weeks post-intervention. The study adds empirical evidence suggesting the value of real-time data-driven approaches implementing IoT devices to positively influence students’ knowledge and behaviors related to socio-scientific problems affecting their health.

“…With the development of ICT, more social, interactive, flexible, and studentcentered learning environments are realized [3]. The smart classroom is a kind of typical intelligent learning environment [4][5][6], with the aims to increase teachers' interaction opportunities and overcome teachers' attitudinal barriers to technology [7][8][9].…”

“…A smart classroom is defined as a physical classroom that is enriched with digital, context-aware, and adaptive devices [4,10,11]. Integrating the advanced forms of educational technology, a smart classroom increases the instructors' ability to facilitate students' learning [3,12] and provide the necessary conditions for the training of students' 21st century skills [13,14].…”

Interaction in the classroom plays the key role for cultivating students’ 21st century skills. Insufficient breadth of interaction, uneven interaction opportunities, and chaotic interaction existed in many classrooms. With the integration of technology into education, many smart classrooms were built, with one of the aims being to promote interaction. However, the differences of interaction behaviors and engagement in a smart class versus a traditional class could rarely be found in literature, especially with the same teacher lecturing in both classes. In this study, a quasi-experiment was conducted by one experienced English teacher lecturing in a smart classroom with students and a traditional classroom with students for one semester. Research data were obtained by coding the 8 class videos with the proposed “Classroom Interaction Analysis Framework” and the adapted engagement questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 24. Results showed that there were no significant differences in either interpersonal interaction or human–technology interaction; however students experienced significantly more engagement in the smart classroom. The reasons were analyzed and interaction patterns in smart classroom were discussed. Finally, a smart classroom interaction model was proposed to promote classroom interaction by considering the interplay of pedagogy, space, and technology.
