“…Some of these applications specifically focus on improving the handwriting skills of students with writing difficulties. For instance, students with writing difficulties can be given tablets to improve their pencil grip skills and handwriting and increase their spelling accuracy through prewriting activities and writing exercises (Berninger et al, 2015;Corkett & Benevides, 2016;Diah et al, 2012). The studies pointed out that students found writing more enjoyable and easier after using these applications.…”

“…Such favorable interventions also include studies that are based on theories. Diah et al (2012) based their tablet application on improving students' handwriting skills with writing difficulties on Hannafin and Peck's instructional model. On the other hand, Berninger et al (2015) created a tablet application as an interactive e-learning environment to support holistic language by providing students with feedback.…”

“…In addition, applications that use gamification, like "Bugs and Buttons 2," and those that aim to improve letter writing, like "Dexteria Jr," "iTrace," and "iWriteWords," as well as cursive handwriting skills, like "Writing Wizard," supported children's handwriting development for those with writing difficulties and other fine motor challenges (Educational Apps for Kids, 2022). As can be seen, there are applications in the literature students with writing difficulties to recognize spelling, letter and writing, copying, to increase their writing speed, and writing appropriately and orthographic coding skills and help them to compose their writing appropriately (Admodisastro et al, 2021;Berninger et al, 2015;Corkett & Benevides, 2016;Diah et al, 2012;Hopcan & Tokel, 2021;Martens et al, 2018;Rahim & Jamaludin, 2019;Skiada et al, 2014;Tariq & Latif, 2016). In this study, for specific to students with special needs the existing applications were examined in this context by considering the factors such as usability, suitability for age, suitability for inclusive pedagogy, visual and animation richness and instructional objectives.…”

Students who struggle with writing may also struggle academically. Mobile applications play a vital and supportive role in addressing this issue. The purpose of this research is to examine mobile writing applications and to gather the opinions of teachers and experts on these applications in order to support the writing skills of 1st and 2nd-grade primary school students. In this way, the strengths and weaknesses of the existing applications will be evaluated, and a projection will be kept on the mobile writing application that should be. The researchers applied qualitative and quantitative methods. In order to reveal the needs in question, a number of applications from the Android and IOS stores were reviewed using a rubric devised by the researchers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather opinions from primary school and special education teachers and subject matter experts in primary and special education. The study revealed the insufficiency of targeted applications to support writing skills, particularly regarding accessibility, audio, and visual elements. This finding emphasizes the need for new mobile applications to eliminate the limitations. This study provided vital insights into building a mobile application for addressing writing difficulties that might satisfy the needs. The results of this study include suggestions that will shed light on future research on mobile writing applications.

“…Jawi has been used by Islamic education teachers in primary and secondary school. Unfortunately, there is lack of interest among the school children to learn Jawi and many of them nowadays are unable to read and write in Jawi [13]. In order to gain interest in learning Jawi, an interactive and interesting application [14] should be develop so that it can attract them to learn Jawi.…”

This paper discussed the development of multi-maker augmented reality for learning Jawi in order to complement the formal study in school. We conducted an experiment with N=10 participants from Pusat Minda Lestari, UMS age 5 and 6 years old, to study the effectiveness of learning Jawi using the developed mobile augmented reality application. We prepared a test environment comprising an electroencephalography (EEG) system and mobile augmented reality (AR) application for analysis and testing. Results found that the learn ability of the students was improved after they used the mobile application to learn basic Jawi. The methodology used was ADDIE model, which included the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluate phases. This project is an innovation in learning Jawi and hopefully can increase the children’s interest in learning Jawi.

Acquiring writing skills of students plays a key role in their academic life. Approximately the half of a normal school day is covered by writing activities. Although writing is such an important skill in the education system, there are students who have difficulties in writing. One of the specific learning disabilities, dysgraphia can be defined as writing impairment. Studies on writing disabilities appeared to extend on a spectrum that ranged between 5% and 34%. Educational technology is a promising solution to meet students with dysgraphia. Particularly, mobile devices offer wide spectrum opportunities for learning of students with dysgraphia with their unique qualities. The main purpose of the study is to reveal the views of special education teachers about mobile writing application after the utilization of mobile writing application. A mobile writing application was developed (Hopcan et al., 2019) and its effectiveness was examined (Hopcan & Tokel, 2021) in previous studies. In this study, qualitative method was used in order to reveal the views of special education teachers about mobile writing application after the utilization of mobile writing application. Semi-structured interviews were conducted about the application with seven special education teachers. Teachers perceived mobile writing application as easy to use. In addition, teachers found the application useful in terms of improving writing skills of students, teaching how to write them accurately, and attracting students’ attention more than traditional writing practices. They perceived mobile writing application as enjoyable for students. Some of teachers had some suggestions for improving the application.
