Cell Phones in the Classroom: Teachers’ Perspectives of Inclusion,Benefits, and Barriers

Historically viewed as a disruption by teachers, cell phones have been banned from 69% of classrooms (Common Sense Media, 2009). The increased ubiquity and instructional features of cell phones have prompted some teachers to re-evaluate the ban and consider the benefits associated with allowing cell phones in the classroom. This study surveyed 79 teachers to determine their perceptions of using cell phones for classroom instruction. Findings indicated that the majority (69%) of teachers support the use of cell phones in the classroom and were presently using them for school-related work. Teachers identified student engagement and motivation as the primary benefits; barriers included lack of access and class disruption.     

Developing teachers’ pedagogical practice in teaching science lessons with mobile phones

This paper presents the findings of an investigation carried out in Sri Lanka to explore how mobile phones can support science teachers’ pedagogical practices throughout the teaching cycle of planning, teaching and evaluation. Data were collected using observation supported by audio and video recordings from both continuing professional development workshops where a group of teachers planned four science lessons that integrated mobile phones and the subsequent implementation of those lessons. Thematic network analysis, carried out on the data with the help of NVivo8 qualitative analysis software, showed how mobile phones were used and the issues involved. It concluded that mobile phones can support science teaching in a variety of ways, in particular with communication during planning lessons, with relating subject knowledge to authentic locations and activities during teaching and with image and data capture to support assessment and post-lesson reflection. The additional pedagogical practices and knowledge base required when integrating mobile phones into science lessons are discussed in the light of Shulman’s original model.

中学生英语词汇学习策略研究(英文)

Vocabulary is the basic unit in the language. It’s one of the core parts in the language, and it plays an important role in improving students’ language ability. Thus, vocabulary learning strategies play an obviously important part in the whole process of language learning. By studying the theories of the second language acquisition learning found by linguists at home and abroad, especially the vocabulary learning strategies, this research tries showing some explicate vocabulary learning strategies systematically, in order to help Middle School students use English vocabulary learning strategies more efficiently, which can improve their learning efficiency and enhance their ability of learning by themselves. At the same time, it’s another hope that this research can help more English teachers design teaching activities, which may improve the education quality.
