How Can Tablets Be Used for Meaning-Making and Learning
Lofthus, Liv
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Mobile Learning (13th, Budapest, Hungary, Apr 10-12, 2017)
The background for my research project is to look closer at how social sciences such as history, geography and civic life can be taught outside the classroom by using tablets as a tool. This paper looks closer into how tablets can be used as a learning recourse in an interdisciplinary project outside the classroom. I will follow a group of pupils that are used to using iPad in all subjects to see how they, in small groups, use their tablets outside the classroom. I will see how they use their tablets for orientation, collecting information and documentation. The methods used is observation, interview, and video documentation. The project spans from work inside the classroom to prepare for the task outside, and after the project has come to an end I will document how they work with it inside the classroom. The aim of the analyses will be to describe how the pupils use the tablets, from a socio cultural perspective, as a tool for learning. [For the complete proceedings, see ED579190.]
