Demographics, Learner Characteristics, and Use of Wearable Devices
Pan, Cheng-Chang; Sivo, Stephen A.; Graham, Jeffrey A.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v20 n4 p422-437 Oct 2021
This case study was intended to explore whether wearable device use is associated with their demographic factors (e.g., device ownership and gender), using undergraduate students in a Hispanic Serving Institution. Preliminary findings of this two-way contingency table analysis suggested that students who own the device(s) are more likely to use it for school. Males are more likely to use the wearables for learning in spite of a marginal effect size. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
