This is blended with both desired and distracting components. These significant ramifications of rise in mobile device usage motivates to focus the study to evaluate the ongoing research activity pertinent to the pedagogical inclusion of mobile devices in classroom interaction. This study represents the review of refereed articles about mobile device utility in classroom interaction during the year 2013-19. The research articles selected for assessment confined in the areas of interaction design, the usefulness of mobile devices in the traditional education system, adaptive web-based educational systems and potential distraction of the devices. Most of the works tried to emphasis the positive response about the context-dependent use of mobile devices' integration in the classroom. On the contrary significant claims on the interference of portable devices and causal effects have also been highlighted by many researchers. The quantitative and qualitative findings of the survey help in identifying the outright spaces and regulated use of mobile devices in face to face classroom interaction. This will also help in designing active research informative interaction with an imminent effect to enhance device mediated classroom learning.","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127611888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we explore the importance of failure in the learning process and how the frequency of failure impacts learning and academic outcome. We conducted an experiment with sixty management students who played a business simulation game. We measured their academic response to failure, their perception about their performance, and the perceived importance & relevance of the task. We found that in a situated learning environment, students tend to persist in the event of encountering failure and not relent.","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122712514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They conducted oral and written assessments in about 90 primary government schools in Tamil Nadu in the subjects of Math, English, and Tamil. The data collected from these schools comprised of student's age, height, weight, parent's educational qualification and details about their preschool. Apart from these, details about the school were gathered from a website hosted and maintained by the National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA). This included school details such as the number of students, teachers and their qualifications, the facilities, etc. The results show that the medium of the class, the type of preschool attended and the gender of a student have a correlation with the performance while factors such as body mass index, student-teacher ratio and school infrastructure quality have a small or negligible correlation with the performance","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133713536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present an Augmented Reality Tracing (ART) application that creates an interactive learning environment for kids. Although the basic idea of tracing remains the same, ART allows children to recognize the mistracing or deviation and encourages them to trace better in the next trial. Therefore, the application would enhance children's language writing experience and motivate them for self-learning.","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117023740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current scenario, students often find it exhausting to learn the voluminous matter presented to them. In these cases, it is essential to find an approach beyond conventional means to prove as an aid while studying. One such tool is a Mind Map. Although the tool is proven to be effective, the process of creating a Mind Map is found to be laborious. Our inventive software is designed to obtain useful information from a video lecture. This is done by utilizing the content obtained by crowd sourcing, splitting the video into multiple subtopics and then transcribing the same. The tool then processes this data and extracts keywords relevant to the area of discussion. Following this, the tool organizes these key phrases so that it can be represented as a hierarchical Mind Map. Each node contains necessary phrases and all nodes and these nodes are carefully ordered. Additionally, the Map is made interactive and dynamic in order to enhance the students' experience.","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131050991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inclusion of AI literacy and AI thinking in the school curriculum are in their early adoption phases in various countries. This paper explores the efforts put forth in AI curriculum implementation in schools through teacher education programs in India. The early and post-training perspectives of the teachers have been observed, and the challenges reported by teachers in influential factors such as lapses in policy communication, infrastructure, pedagogy, content delivery and the influence of culture in the context of Indian schools have been discussed. The results indicate a poor belief state in the potential of AI among teachers and the interest to explore peer teaching and game-based approaches in the classroom to introduce AI, among other findings.","PeriodicalId":347086,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Tenth International Conference on Technology for Education (T4E)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126861611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
