Using smartphones to enhance creative cognitive engagement in student learning: a case study
Keywords:
transversal competencies, smartphone, learning tool, learning outcomes, gender differences
Abstract
The study examines the prospects of using smartphones as a learning instrument. The paper reports on the results of a subject-oriented study of the personal and gender-specific characteristics of how general secondary school students (grades 8-9) perceive the possibility of mastering transversal competencies using smartphones as the most common means of independent/distance learning. The research goal is pursued using a survey assessing 23 descriptors of transversal competencies in terms of the possibility of their development using smartphones. The survey results are additionally analyzed by gender. The analysis indicates the transversal competencies that respondents believe to be promoted using smartphones and the competencies that they doubt can be developed using smartphones. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of smartphones for mastery of transversal competencies, the authors propose practice-oriented conclusions that may be used in methodological recommendations on effective methods, instruments, and means of developing and accessing transversal competencies.
