A Systematic Review of Learning and Teaching with Tablets

Due to the increased popularity of tablets in schools, this systematic review examines the literature on tablet-mediated learning attempting to identify how tablets support the emergence of new teaching and learning practices as well as the transformation of existing ones in primary and secondary schools. 39 studies were selected using predefined selection criteria, most of which concern natural sciences, math and language. The result identified 10 themes of pedagogical teaching and learning practices that are supported by tablets in schools, namely: augmented and virtual learning, collaborative learning, communication, documentation, feedback and assessment, game-based learning, individualized learning, inquiry-based learning, mobile learning, and multimodal learning. The identified themes of practices support and interact with each other to serve learning and teaching purposes. [For the complete proceedings, see ED590271.]
