Investigating Students' Conceptual Understanding of Socio-Environmental Problems
The aim of this study was to investigate how mobile outdoor learning supports the development of students' conceptual understanding about local socio-environmental problems and students' attitudes towards the learning activity. To explore these aspects, a study following a design-based research model was designed and conducted with 68 eighth-ninth grade students. The learning design of the activity incorporated a number of mobile learning tools: environmental data collecting devices, tablets and students' smartphones with outdoor learning apps to facilitate the learning activity, which was mainly conducted outdoors. Research data was collected with semi structured pre- and post-questionnaires. The results showed that the students' conceptual understanding about the study topic developed significantly, and they were positively minded about their experience in working on a socio-environmental issue. Based on the results, it can be concluded that mobile outdoor learning activities focusing on timely socio-environmental problems have the potential to increase students' conceptual understanding.
期刊介绍:
The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
