Mobile development: learn du’a for early childhood learners

This project stands by acknowledging the use of mobile technology is progressively popular among early childhood learners in recent years. But, an extensive systematic literature search on educational mobile technology and touchscreen indicated that most of the applications are not suitable for early childhood learners as it lacks several multimedia features. Therefore, this project designates the development procedure of an educational mobile application for early childhood learners, who are very receptive to new knowledge and information. As a proof of concept, the development of this application utilizes the learning of the Islamic du’a recitation. This application was designed using the android studio and the flutter software combined with the java programming language. Upon the development of this application, several testings were done and analyzed. The result shows that users were satisfied with the applications as most of the testing scores were highly rated. Based on these results, the usage of this newly mobile application can be suggested to be adopted by early childhood learners.

Mobile Outdoor Learning Effect on Students’ Conceptual Change and Transformative Experience

Using mobile technologies in education has a lot of potential to take learners outside of their regular classrooms and mediate learning scenarios that are related to real-life situations. Mobile outdoor learning could help students to establish connections between learned concepts and their everyday life. To find out if mobile outdoor learning could be used to shift students’ scientific understandings and to facilitate their knowledge transfer, i.e. students use their acquired knowledge in everyday life, an action research was conducted with 158 students (age 14–16). The results indicated that students gain knowledge during mobile outdoor learning and develop a conceptual change. Furthermore, the results showed that a learning scenario focusing on a socio-environmental problem had a bigger impact on students' transformative experience towards science learning than a more biologically specific topic.
