Action research approach on mobile learning design for the underserved

Action research approach on mobile learning design

for the underserved

Abstract:

This paper discusses an action research study focused on developing a mobile learning model of literacy development for underserved migrant indigenous children in Latin America. The research study incorporated a cyclical action model with four distinctive stages (Strategize, Apply, Evaluate, and Reflect) designed to guide constituencies involved in the study to design, test, and enhance a mobile learning model. The findings, to date, reveal some of the contextual phenomena that create both challenges and opportunities for a mobile learning model. From this, design strategies are evolving focused on sustained literacy exposure for extremely marginalized (economically, educationally,geographically, and technologically) migrant indigenous children who have no consistent access to a formal education system.

I strongly recommend reading this article to anyone who is taking the learning design course to gain a better understanding of the action research model that Dr. Kim is talking about. 

It's time to change the old method of Instructional design and get more practical!
