Online Learning and Educational Technology

Abstract This research explores the impact of digital books on student’s performance in mathematics. The theoretical arguments of this research are based on the self-regulated learning theory. To employ the complete research strategy, 65 papers were retrieved in the first round of research, including 30 from Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), 20 from Science Direct, and 15 from Elton B. Stephens CO (EBSCO). Following that, only 40 papers produced findings from the major section screening. The article’s systematic literature review and thematic analysis of the published material resulted in a sample size of 23 articles for this study. A qualitative thematic analysis software, “NVivo 12”, was used to evaluate qualitative data. The findings indicated that motivation, technological advancement, information technology, learning objectives, sources for digital application, challenges of technology, traditional learning style, and visual information have a significant collision with students’ mathematical learning.

Abstract The present study addresses the perceptions of adolescent girls in Guerrero, Mexico, regarding the supervision of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by parents and teachers. It recognizes the importance of understanding these perceptions in the context of the increasing influence of ICT in the lives of adolescents and their impact on their development and online safety. A study was conducted involving 1900 participants, with 1260 girls from secondary school and 640 from high school, through a structured survey. Frequency analyses, measures of central tendency, and correlations were employed to examine the responses of the adolescent girls and understand their opinions on ICT supervision. The results revealed significant differences between the perceptions of secondary school and high school girls regarding ICT supervision. Secondary school girls showed a more favorable opinion towards supervision, while high school girls expressed greater concerns about privacy invasion. This study highlights the importance of considering adolescent girls’ perceptions regarding ICT supervision to develop more effective policies and educational practices. Furthermore, it underscores the need to promote safe and responsible use of ICT among adolescents by tailoring interventions to the specific needs of each group. Ultimately, this study is expected to contribute to creating a safer and more positive digital environment for future generations.
