Educational Perspective

Nowadays the development of the Mobile Learning (ML) in children’s progress is thought significant. However, its role in special preschool education is recognized crucial, as it is a tool that can foster the knowledge and the experiences for this sensitive age. The support of specific areas in preschool education according to the educational perspective is thought significant with the maintenance of the mobile applications. In this paper we present a brief overview of the most representative studies of the last decade (2005-2015), which concentrates on skills that are examined in special kindergarten (early literacy, early mathematics, cognitive, social-emotional) and are supported by the mobile learning. The effectiveness of mobile applications in children who are autistic and face attention deficit problems is examined. The role of mobile learning in preschool children who face mental problems is also investigated.

The Subject

Research on the role of mobile learning in computational thinking is limited, and even more so in its use in initial teacher education. Aligned to this there is a need to consider how to introduce and expose pre-service teachers to computational thinking constructs within the context of the subject area they will teach in their future classrooms. This paper outlines a quasi-experimental study to examine the role of mobile learning in facilitating computational thinking development amongst pre-service teachers in initial teacher education. The study enquires if there are significant differences in grades achieved in computational thinking and programming learning when mobile learning is introduced. Findings showed and reaffirmed the positive influence of the mobile applications on the development of computational thinking amongst the pre-service teachers who participated.

Educational Perspective

Recent development in the role of education in pre-school children includes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). ICT nowadays is recognized as a tool that can foster the knowledge and the experiences for this crucial age and the support of specific areas in kindergarten according to the educational perspective and the areas of needs they serve, is thought significant. In this paper we present a brief overview of the most representative studies of the last decade (2004-2014), which concentrates on the working memory and attention difficulties that children face in kindergarten, and are supported by ICTs. A brief theoretical scientific approach of the role of working memory is presented while its correlation with the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is examined.

This article deals with the topical issue for modern education about the role of mobile technologies in the formation of students’ information competence. The aim of the article is to consider the main trends in the formation of students’ information competence using mobile technologies in the learning process. The authors of the article give the concept of mobile learning, analyze its advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, mobile applications are considered as a tool for shaping information competence of students. Developed in the study mobile application «TopTaskerGeo» confirms the relevance of introducing mobile technologies in the learning process in order to informatize the educational environment and determines the effectiveness of mobile learning methods in the formation of informational competence of students. According to the survey conducted by the authors, there is an increase in students’ interest in mobile learning and information competence. Despite the fact that there is a small proportion of surveyed students who do not accept innovations and prefer traditional teaching methods, lessons using the mobile application «TopTaskerGeo» are interactive and contribute to the rapid development of information and communication skills. The value of this study is the development and implementation of the mobile application «TopTaskerGeo» in the education system in the study of academic disciplines.
