Introducing Mobile Learning Into the Primary School Curriculum: A Case Study of the Continuous Pedagogical Use of Mobile Devices

Abstract

The present paper is a brief overview of an innovative educational program in Primary Education regarding the pedagogical use of mobile devices in teaching. The program adopted Puentedura's (2010) SAMR model, which is based on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, and proposes four levels of integration of digital applications into teaching practice. The program, which was implemented at the same time as a continuous intra-school training program, aimed at the integration and pedagogical utilization of portable devices (tablets) in the teaching of all the basic subjects of the Primary School for a very long period of time in order to contribute to the transformation of the educational process. The experiences from the first phases of the program demonstrate that the learning process was significantly enriched and strengthened, 21st century skills were cultivated and developed, while the professional development of teachers and the active participation of students were enhanced. These conditions therefore led to the change of previous attitudes of teachers and students towards the specific technological medium.
