“…Thus, teaching and learning activities that were initially carried out in classrooms have been moved to virtual spaces. Some of the virtual learning activities are done using WhatsApp group, Google Classroom, Zoom Meeting, or other supporting online learning applications (Voshaar et al, 2022;Acaroglu et al, 2022;Mendes de Oliveira et al, 2021;Lau et al, 2021;McCutcheon et al, 2016).…”

This research was motivated by elementary school students’ low critical thinking ability and their familiarity with gadgets. They use gadgets with various Android-based mobile applications that can be easily downloaded. Thus, this research was designed using an experimental method by explaining to the respondents the instructions for using SBL Apps before operating the application. The population was all lower grade elementary school students in Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A random sample of 16 third graders of SDN 1 Citimun was selected. The students were given an explanation first, about how to use SBL Apps, and then they operated the application independently. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, and then processed by qualitative and quantitative analysis. The research results showed that 1) students' responses were positive and significant toward SBL Apps, and 2) the use of SBL Apps could significantly improve students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract—This study designed a questionnaire to investigate the influences of education app-assisted teaching technology on learners’ learning efficiency. The mediating effect of learning motivation in such influences was analyzed. Research results demonstrate that Cronbach α of the designed questionnaire is 0.833, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) is 0.815, and Bartlett sphericity test is p=0.000<0.001, indicating good reliability and validity of the questionnaire. All four aspects (knowledge architecture (p<0.01), group collaboration (p<0.05), information integration, summary, and assessment) of education app-assisted teaching technology positively affect learning efficacy. Learning motivation has a complete mediating effect on the influence of education app-assisted teaching technology on learning efficacy. The contact duration of learners with education APP-assisted teaching technology influences learning efficacy significantly (p=0.006<0.01). Research conclusions can provide important references to facilitate higher education teachers to integrate teaching content and online teaching deeply, realize multiple assistance effects of information technology to education modes, and promote the organic integration of mobile Internet technology and higher education.

“…Mobile learning, defined as using handheld technologies such as phones for educational use has progressed rapidly in the past decade [1]. An integration of mobile technology with classroom has allowed for a broadening of learning opportunities, allowing students to develop customized performance, enhance learning needs, and provide students with authentic learning practices when alternative teaching methods fail [2][3][4][5][6]. By extension, mobile learning by its nature offers a greater personalized experience, as individual profiles can be taken into account and miniature sized phones or laptops allows for more flexible studying [7][8][9].…”

With the advent of smartphones, laptops, and other various portable devices, the ability to incorporate technology into the classroom has increased dramatically in the last few decades. This study evaluates the perceptions and attitudes of both students and teachers in relation to mobile apps that assist in classroom learning. The research used a mixed-methods approach that collected demographic information and conducted qualitative interviews to determine the perceptions of mobile apps to students and teachers. Cross-sectional data was collected from participants and analyzed for associations. 43 students and 6 teachers were recruited and interviewed. The participants were asked about their thoughts on mobile educational apps, and their interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data and 5 themes were identified for students: barriers to educational app adoption, barriers to continued use of education apps, tracking progress, tracking of progress, and goal setting. For teachers, themes identified included factors to mobile app use, and criteria used for mobile app selection. These findings may provide school boards and scientists with insights on how to best develop educational apps to fit the needs of students.
