Description
This qualitative case study explored the affordances and uses of the iPad in Prep classrooms when integrated into hands-on science activities about movement. Using a hybrid inductive and deductive thematic analysis approach, this study identified and described the ways that virtual and augmented reality apps on the iPad can both enhance and distract from hands-on science activities about movement in Prep. The findings suggest ways that educators may achieve greater integration of hands-on science and technology learning experiences in Prep classrooms.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
