A Design-Based Intervention to Develop Elementary Students’ Digital Literacy Skills
UNESCO identified the formation of digital literacy skills as one of the most desired outcomes of education. Using an exploratory sequential mixed methods design, we explored elementary students’ perceptions of the truthfulness and trustworthiness of information on the internet and developed an intervention to improve students’ digital literacy skills. The intervention targeted elementary students from grades four through six. Six teachers served…

Learning Landscape in Gamification: The Need for a Methodological Protocol in Research Applications
In education, the term “gamification” refers to of the use of game-design elements and gaming experiences in the learning processes to enhance learners’ motivation and engagement. Despite researchers’ efforts to evaluate the impact of gamification in educational settings, several methodological drawbacks are still present. Indeed, the number of studies with high methodological rigor is reduced and, consequently, so are the reliability of results.…
An investigation of the mathematics applications in the Apple App Store: Do they contain benchmarks of educational quality
Given the numerous mathematics applications marketed in the Apple App Store and the lack of quality control, it is critical to determine whether these digital learning tools are well-designed and if they are accurately marketed by developers. The present study evaluated the top math apps (n = 33) priced under $15, categorized into three age groups (i.e. <5, 6-8, and 9-11) in the App Store. It examined how well they incorporate five educational fe…
Why this app: How user ratings and app store rankings impact parents’ choice of educational apps
Measuring teacher scaffolding in game-based learning: Emotional and responsibility scaffolds lead while resources and previous game experience shape practices
Why this app? How user ratings and app store rankings impact educators' selection of educational apps
Research indicates that educators value certain benchmarks of educational quality when choosing educational apps from app stores (i.e., curriculum, feedback, scaffolding, learning theory, and development team). However, it is unclear how other users’ ratings of the app, or the app’s ranking on the app store’s list of “top” educational apps, might impact educators’ evaluations. The present study examines how educational benchmarks, ratings, and ra…
Guiding teachers' game-based learning: How user experience of a digital curriculum guide impacts teachers’ self-efficacy and acceptance of educational games
Many curriculum guides are created to support teachers' adoption of digital games for learning. However, their impact on teachers' acceptance of games has not been studied. We investigate how the experience of theory-based curriculum guides for the educational game Discovery Tour Ancient Egypt affects teachers' confidence and acceptance of game-based learning. Teachers ( n = 100) reported positive experiences with the guide. Analysis revealed tha…
How does the modern home environment impact children's mathematics knowledge? Evidence from Canadian elementary children's digital home numeracy practice (DHNP)
Why this app: Can a video‐based intervention help parents identify quality educational apps
Researchers recommend that parents look for five benchmarks as indicators of quality educational apps (ie, scaffolding, curriculum, development team, feedback, learning theory), yet results show that parents undervalue some of these benchmarks. The current study examined if a short video‐based intervention would enhance parents' value‐judgements of apps featuring the five educational benchmarks. In original and modified app experiments ( n = 100;…
Theoretically driven educational app design: The creation of a mathematics app
Why this app? How educators choose a good educational app
Why this app? How parents choose good educational apps from app stores
Educational apps can be considered a dominant medium for providing educational content to children. Parents are major stakeholders and mediators in the selection of apps (Dias & Brito, 2021). It is critical to know how they choose apps for their children and understand what indicates a quality educational app, as well‐designed apps can support and enhance children's learning process. An online study with parents was conducted to identify parents'…
