| Popis: | 104 Modern people are surrounded by rapid and abundant developments of communication technologies. There are miscellaneous networks and wireless electronic products full of our daily life. Using the mobile devices become a must and inevitable trend and fashion in the digital era. Reacting to the situations of the communication technologies changing our life, different ages produce differential value systems to the mobile devices. The research by depth interviews analyzes the usage patterns, motivations, and meanings of the mobile devices in current primary school students of the so-called "Touch-Screen Generation". The research finds most of the students have their own mobile devices and are middle and low frequent users. They have three major motivations: (1) for solving problems, (2) for making recreations, (3) for communicating and sharing information. And there are four important meanings for the students: (1) diversions like snacks, (2) devices like toys, (3) daily utensils, (4) partnerships. Therefore, teachers of the Generation's students can apply their conversational methods with the mobile devices, through gamification and customization of learning, repositioning of the new technologies, and trans-disciplinary and multi-cohorts learning, to let the students obtain more learning alternatives. |
