dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the process and impact of the implementation of the Nature Tour mobile learning
application in Finnish early childhood education settings. The interest is to explore whether the concept of
Nature Tour mobile application meets the needs of early childhood education in field trips. The idea of the
mobile application is to help recording and comparing nature observations as well as to arouse children’s
interest in nature. The feasibility of the mobile application was evaluated through a theoretical framework,
which includes the core aspects of mobile learning. The evaluation framework consists of two levels titled
core level and medium level. Three of the core level aspects were realized well. These aspects were the
aspect of context, time and space. The medium level aspects that were realized well were social aspect and
learner aspect. While the device aspect was a slightly more challenging as the Nature Tour mobile
application required literacy skills and therefore it required adult guidance. Another key aspect that should
be added to the framework is the pedagogical aspect. The technology use in the early childhood settings
evidently requires balance between the curriculum, children’s needs and human interactions, in other words,
pedagogy. | |
