This study investigated the effect of using the iPad on children’s achievement of Layla kindergarten
in Saudi Arabia, in Aflaj district, compared to the traditional method. The study sample was formed of (42)
male and female children during the second semester of the scholastic year 2013/2014. The sample population
were randomly selected using the simple sample selection and then distributed into two groups: the control
group (22children) were taught using the traditional method, and the experimental group (20children) were
taught using the iPad. An achievement multiple choice test was given to the population of the two study groups,
and the test credibility and reliability were confirmed (reliability coefficient was 0.85). The study results
showed the existence of differences with statistical indication (α = 0.05) between the achievement of the
experimental group children and those of the control group. The implications of the results are that the iPad
can benefit children in improving their language skills in a motivating learning environment. The results were
in favor of the experimental group children, which were attributed to iPad teaching method. They showed that
there were no statistically differences attributed to the gender variable or to the interaction between the gender
variable and teaching method variable. The study was concluded by giving some recommendations and
suggestions pertaining to this study.

No nation whether developed or developing countries can rise above the level of its education without giving adequate consideration for its Human and Material resources in terms of curriculum to be used. One of the Basic qualities of a curriculum is dynamism. This implies that a good curriculum is never static rather it changes along with changes in societal needs and aspirations, political and economic factors. For example in Nigeria the educational system has witnessed some changes in Content, Context and Structure (9-3-4 educational systems). Like most of the countries in the world, the changes have come as result of the growing awareness of the need to develop technologically, socially, and economically.

Immediate Feedback : A New Mechanism for Real Time Feedback on Classroom Teac...IJITE
The proliferation of technology has re-defined the traditional learning environment. The classical classroom model of teacher to student delivery is changing as technology becomes more pervasive in educational environments. In addition, the availability of technology and the breadth of different device
categories and platforms is a stark contrast to the traditional classroom, and the pervasiveness of low-cost devices provides opportunities to significantly re-define the learning environment. In this paper, we have developed a real-time feedback mechanism supported by technology to allow students and educators to assess comprehension in the teaching environment. Real-time feedback is input that is acquired whilst a teaching practice is ongoing, and the outcomes derived from the feedback mechanism have provided a strong pedagogical value to the learning environment. These benefits have been clearly elicited by the academic staff who trialled the system.

Research Study: The Impact of iPads on Student Learningmatthewlipstein
Over the course of the 2012-2013 school year, research and data collection were conducted at St. Gabriel’s Catholic School in Austin, TX to gauge the impact on student learning with the introduction of iPads in Grades 2 through 5.
This document summarizes research on the optimal use of iPods to meet learner needs. It finds that iPods can positively impact engagement, motivation, collaboration, and personalized learning when integrated effectively into student-centered pedagogy. However, effective integration requires infrastructure support, app evaluation, and teacher training. While iPods show potential, more longitudinal research is still needed to fully understand their impact on various learning outcomes. Overall, the research suggests iPods can enhance education when implemented appropriately, but schools must consider technical, financial, and instructional requirements for successful adoption.

QUESTIONING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TECHNOLOGIZING ALGERIAN SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSIT...IJITE
The present paper investigated major reasons behind the failure of an effective technologization of schools
and universities in Algeria. It also tackled the issue of teacher-student rapport in an era where the internet
has become a rival for teachers. This work questioned the factors contributing to the failure of a successful
integration of new technologies in Algerian classrooms. Field observations were required to collect data;
four primary schools (private and public, two middle schools), two secondary schools and four universities
were the fieldwork of this study. Also, as a case study, I lastly presented my personal experience in
technologizing my classes as a university teacher. The results showed that social, cultural, economic and
educational factors were behind the failure of a successful integration of ICTs in Algerian classrooms.
Moreover, I emphasized that the teacher-learner rapport is in jeopardy because of the chaotic and
ineffective penetration of new technological tools in the Algerian classroom.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Effect of Using Ipad on the Achievement of Children in
Layla Kindergarten in Saudi Arabia
Dr.Badr M. M. Alzannan
(English Lecturer, Ministry of Education, Aflaj, Saudi Arabia)
Abstract: This study investigated the effect of using the iPad on children’s achievement of Layla kindergarten
in Saudi Arabia, in Aflaj district, compared to the traditional method. The study sample was formed of (42)
male and female children during the second semester of the scholastic year 2013/2014. The sample population
were randomly selected using the simple sample selection and then distributed into two groups: the control
group (22children) were taught using the traditional method, and the experimental group (20children) were
taught using the iPad. An achievement multiple choice test was given to the population of the two study groups,
and the test credibility and reliability were confirmed (reliability coefficient was 0.85). The study results
showed the existence of differences with statistical indication (α = 0.05) between the achievement of the
experimental group children and those of the control group. The implications of the results are that the iPad
can benefit children in improving their language skills in a motivating learning environment. The results were
in favor of the experimental group children, which were attributed to iPad teaching method. They showed that
there were no statistically differences attributed to the gender variable or to the interaction between the gender
variable and teaching method variable. The study was concluded by giving some recommendations and
suggestions pertaining to this study.
Keywords: Ipad, Education, smart class unit, Aflaj.
I. Introduction
In the era of information technology, iPads have become an effective technology in foreign language
teaching. iPads have been integrated into teaching methodologies, and most of the recent research revealed that
iPads can enhance student learning. iPad based learning aims at raising students’ awareness of learning
strategies and providing learners with systematic practice, reinforcement and self-monitoring of their strategy
use with language learning activities[5].
iPads allow students to interact interactively with the content of the textbooks, which may not exist
in any other educational tools[5]. iPads have been introduced to the market in 2010 and ever since they have
been dramatically changed the perspective towards education, teaching and learning nowadays. Thus, they lead
to creativity and hands-on learning. There are many educational applications for all types of learners that are
available and have free access to them. Students can do their assignments, have self-leaning, and get an
immediate feedback thru this new device, while teachers can give lessons, monitor progress, and guide their
students thru online contact.
Using iPads in technology-enhanced learning environments has caught many educators’ attention. In
regard to iPad use, some investigations have been conducted into in what ways integration of the iPad changes
learning outcomes and attitudes. The graduate school of digital content (2011) conducted a comparative
research: students who enrolled in the same digital content creation subject were divided into two groups, one
with iPads and one without. The results showed that students in the experimental group achieved higher scores,
and their self-study time was double that of the control group. Their understanding of the content was greater;
85% of students in the iPad class said they fully comprehended the content but only 46% said so in the class
without iPads.
Tchasel considers e-learning as a challenge to the educationalists in particular and to the community in
general. However, it should be accepted and dealt with it as a main part in our life. Otherwise, we will find
ourselves back hundred years using the primitive writing tools and the other world is using fiberglass pens and
learns via smart phones[15].
Altowaijry examined the development of the educational system in Saudi Arabia by expanding its
parameters to take advantage of telecommunications technologies and to incorporate the distance learning
method. This research shows the merits of such a method to the concerned authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia and addresses the difficulty and the inherent resistance to applying the new method in all Saudi
educational institutions. The results showed a positive relationship between applying the new method of
distance learning and decreasing the number of students who drop out of the educational process for many
reasons[3].

All the teachers in Saudi Arabia should be involved from the earliest education levels and in-service
training courses for advanced 82 digital competences and e-Learning should be introduced. The training should
consider aspects of using information communication technology (ICT) both as a learning tool within subject
teaching and a tool used by learners for their coursework outside school settings[2].
Literature suggests that while iPads can be effective in some regards there are challenges. One of the
challenges is the technological professional knowledge of teachers and students[1]. However, in spite of the e-
learning advantages in learning and teaching processes, its applications are still developing which encounters
some challenges and obstacles. Consequently, the researcher has dedicated his efforts in studying the possibility
of using iPads in teaching English as a foreign language to the kindergarten children in Aflaj in Saudi
Arabia.This endeavor aims at developing teaching English methods in order to help the students comprehend
the material in a better way and that will be reflected in the students’ achievement. Thisstudy adds to previous
investigations on the impact of using iPads in English language achievements for kindergarten children.
1.2 Statement of the problem
The researcher observes from a survey questioner and a real observation that the English teachers in
Layla kindergarten in Aflaj are still using the traditional methods and resources of teaching such as the real
objects, flash cards and textbooks. These tools lack the latest types of attractions for students, in aspects of not
involving the suitable means to help them for a proper understanding of the information conveyed.The study
problem is determined by knowing the effect of using the iPad on the achievement of the kindergarten children
in Layla kindergarten in Aflaj, compared with their colleagues who study through traditional education.
1.3 Research Questions
This study attempts to answer the following questions:
1. What is the effect of using iPads on the achievement of the kindergarten children in Aflaj? From the
previous question, the following sub-questions arise:
- Does the achievement of the children in Layla kindergarten differ according to the method of teaching?
- Does the achievement of the children in Layla kindergarten differ according to the gender?
- Is there any impact on the children's achievement in Layla kindergarten due to the interaction between
teaching method and gender?
1.4 Objectives of the study

1.7 Definition of the Terms
- The iPad: is a tablet PC designed by Apple Inc. The iPad features a 9.7-inch touch screen that users can
interact with directly through finger strokes. This portable device can be used for browsing the Web,
listening to music, watching movies, reading e-books and playing games, among other things.
- The traditional method of teaching: refers to long-established customs found in schools that society has
traditionally deemed appropriate. Some forms of education reform promote the adoption of progressive
education practices, a more holistic approach which focuses on individual students' needs and self-
expression. In the eyes of reformers, traditional teacher-centered methods focused on rote learning and
memorization must be abandoned in favor of student-centered and task-based approaches to learning.
- Achievement: the quality and quantity of a student's work . In this study achievement is defined as the
quality and quantity of children's achievement of unit one of smart class textbook.
- Unit of Smart Class : It is one of the units in the book of smart class text book and includes different topics
like colors, letters, numbers as well as all the four basic skills.
EFL: English as a foreign Language.
Aflaj: Is a city in central region of Saudi Arabia.
Apps: Mobile applications on the apple store.
Mall: Mobile assisted language learning.
1.8 Limitations of the study

- It is limited to the kindergarten third-grade children and they are in a range of 5-6 years old in Layla
Educational kindergarten , the Directorate of Aflaj Education in Layla, for the academic year 2013 /2014.
- It is limited to the impact of the use of iPad on students’ achievement.
- It is limited to unit one of smart class in Layla kindergarten.
II. Literature Review
Teaching and learning thru smart devices are very important in the educational field. iPads can greatly
improve the outcomes of any Educational system. The scope for mobile applications written specifically for
teaching and learning is huge. Educationalists can work with developers to create new and innovative software
which reflect the learner’s needs and expectations in technology. It can be noticed that some of new articles and
studies discussed the importance of applying varieties of iPads applications in teaching and learning .
Sekiguchi investigated in what ways integration of tablet technology changes learning outcomes and
attitudes toward Japanese students’ English language learning. The students were provided with one iPad each
for their self-regulated study within and outside the school. In this preliminary qualitative case study, the
students’ learning is examined using data including proficiency test scores, reflective journals, online surveys,
observation, and interviews with participants. The results revealed critical reflections on the improvement of
pedagogical practice for EFL using tablet technology[14].
Aronin and Floyd conducted a study of using iPads in language teaching and learning environment,
the findings of their study showed significant effects especially for learners in the early childhood[4].
Pilgrim has conducted research on promising applications of the iPad in kindergarten grade focusing
on its impact on the children learning process, and consequently on their performance. He recommended that
next coming researches can be extended to cover other applications of the iPad to develop new instruction and
learning techniques[12].
Kiger carried out a study on third grade students at a Midwestern elementary school. The students were
divided into two groups. The first group used the conventional method in learning multiplication for nine
weeks. The other group used the iPad to practice multiplication skills for the same period. The result showed
that the performance of the iPad group was higher than that of the conventional group[9].
Moreover, Miller found that e-books is not costly and saves money comparing that to printing
textbooks' cost. He also found that e-books displayed on iPad tablets are more accessible and interactive than
printed textbooks in first primary classes[10].
Milman examined the use of the first year implementation of an iPad initiative in a PK-4 school in the
United States. In this study, the teachers usually initiated the learning activities, and then the students were
given the opportunity to carry out the assignments with full freedom to show their creativity[11].
However ,Rossing found in the first primary stage, that a teacher can use some specific applications of
iPad to design some activities which will enhance active learning and student participation. Students are
allowed to view other’s work and share their findings. And when completing each activity, students send their
work to their teacher's e-mail for review and feedback. The results showed that students were highly motivated
and improved their way of learning in a collaborative environment thru the use of iPads[13].

Crichtoncarried a study in K-12 schools in order to measure the impact of the iPad on students’
interaction and motivation towards learning. Also, to measure the impact of using this new technology on the
teachers’ performance. Specifically, the iPad was well received and used by the majority of participants in the
elementary and junior high schools. The results showed that both students and teachers were more enthusiastic
to find educational applications of the iPad tablets[6].
2.1 Similarities and differences between the current study and the previous ones
iPads let students interact with course content in an interactive ways, may not exist in any other
educational tool. Thus, it inspires creativity and hands-on learning. Students can search for the meaning of new
vocabulary with a single click that leads them to the dictionary or thesaurus[1]It’s enabling collaborative and
networked interaction between teachers and students and focusing on its impact on the students’ learning
process, and consequently on their performance[1&9&12]. It also agrees with the previous studies in a way of
manifesting the effect of using the iPad on the students’ achievement . However, this study differs from the
previous literature in its procedures, in significant ways in terms of context, participants, materials, and data
analysis procedures. It highlights the importance of using iPad technology in enhancing learning and teaching
English processes, particularly in Layla kindergarten. According to the survey questionnaire, the iPad
technology has not ever been applied in teaching in Layla kindergarten. Hopefully, this will be the milestone
for other studies in teaching English in Saudi Arabia that can be extended to other countries.
III. Methodology And Procedures
3.1 Design of Study
The present study adopts the quasi-experimental of equivalent control group design with its pre and
post measure. It is a semi-empirical study. One group, taught by a traditional method, was used as a control
group, and the other group was taught by using the iPad. This study is compares the effect of using the iPad
with the traditional method on the learning achievement of the students of Layla kindergarten in Aflaj in Saudi
Arabia.
The independent variable in this study is the teaching method which has two levels:
- Teaching Method using the iPad.
- Traditional Method using dialogue and discussion.
Whereas, the dependent variable is the students’ achievement in unit one from smart class textbook.

significant.
3.3Study Tools
3.3.1 The achievement Test(see Appendix 1)
The test was designed to measure the achievement of the kindergarten students in smart class unit of
mm-publication at Layla kindergarten. The test aimed to find the effect of using the iPad and comparing it
with the traditional method. The researcher followed these steps to prepare the test:
Analyzed the content of smart class textbook for the second semester at Layla kindergarten for the year
2013/2014.
Identified the behavioral objectives and shaping them to match the criteria of Bloom's taxonomy of the
educational objectives.
Prepared a table of specifications to cover the distribution of test topics of the unit including the objective
levels and the percentage of each one.
•prepared the test units in an objective way in the form of multiple choice and matching .
3.3.2Test Validity
The validity of test was confirmed by referring it to a group of reviewers from the faculty members in
Aflaj community college as well as supervisors and teachers of Aflaj directorate of education. Reviewers gave
their opinions regarding the suitability of the test to the present study purposes. After their feedback, the
revision was made thru deletion, addition, and modification. The final form of the test contained (6) topics in
unit one of multiple- choice and matching type.
3.3.3 Test Reliability
The reliability was measured by applying it on a trial sample which is selected randomly from the
students of Layla kindergarten (all research samples were excluded). This sample was selected in a simple form
of sample selection. It included18 students distributed in two sections: one for males and the other one for
females of 5 hours a week. After four weeks, the same test was repeated, and the reliability coefficient of (0.85)
was calculated using Person formula. The duration of the study was 12 weeks. This value is considered suitable
for the purposes of this study. Also, the difficulty coefficient was calculated for each of the test units. The
coefficient values were in the range of (0.20 and 0.89). In addition, the discrimination coefficient was calculated
for each test unit, and the values were in the range of (0.28 and 0.35). These values are reasonable and can serve
the purpose of this study.
3.3.4 Test Correction
The way of correcting the test was given one point for each right answer, and zero point for each
wrong answer. So, the highest achievable score is 20, and the lowest is zero.
3.3.5Test Duration
The duration of the test was timed based on results of the trail test. The fastest student was able to
finish the test in 20 minutes, while the lowest student finished the test in 40 minutes. Therefore, the average
duration of the test is 28 minutes, which is equivalent approximately to a study period.
3.3.6 Teaching by iPad
The material of the study which was taught by iPad, prepared based on the following steps:

• Subject material identification: This study dealt with the material of smart class unit at Layla kindergarten.
The material included colors, letters, numbers and.
• Analyzing the content of the smart class unit for Layla first kindergarten grade approved for the second
semester.
• Shaping the behavioral objectives of unit one to make them suitable for the learning situation.
• Choosing the study material content: The researcher chose very well the content to ensure that the content
of smart class unit . In choosing the content, the researcher took into account the learners’ characteristics,
plenty of activities assigned to them,clearance of the language, which has no linguistic mistakes. Also, the
researcher focused on the effects of sound,motion, drawings, illustration shapes in all unit lessons, and this
is known as Interactive Learning. The researcher referred to a group of expertise to make sure of the study
materials and objectives if they are compatible with that content.
The teacher of Layla kindergarten applied the following steps in her teaching method under the researcher’s
supervision:
• Loaded the content of electronic lessons on iPad, and checked well that all iPads are in excellent
conditions.
• The teacher demonstrated to the students how to use the iPad and
- explained the electronic content supported by manual guide.
• At the end of each lesson, students were asked to answer the electronic evaluation questions that are given
in each topic.
3.4 Statistical Treatment
In order to answer the study questions, the data were computerized using the Statistical Packages of
Social Sciences (SPSS) by using the following statistical analytical and descriptive procedures:
Arithmetic Means, Standard Deviations, T-test, and Two Way interaction ANOVA
IV. Results And Discussions Of The Study Questions
4.1First Question: Is the achievement of Layla kindergarten children affected by the teaching method?
In order to answer this question, the researcher conducted a posttest after the completion of teaching
the experimental and control groups. The posttest was prepared identically to the pretest to find the effect of the
teaching method on the learning of children.

The above table shows differences that have statistical indication at the level of (α = 0.05) attributed to
the teaching method. The calculated f value was (5.274) at the indicator level of (0.026) which means that the
difference in teaching methods was statistically indicative. This indication was in favor of the experimental
group whose arithmetic mean (22.068) was higher than the value (20.367) of the control group, and this
confirms that the students’ performance is affected by the teaching method. Also, the difference in the
arithmetic means of the two groups indicates that the achievement of male and female students who used the
iPad in their learning was better than the achievement of those who used the traditional method. The researcher
believes that the above result is mainly due to the effectiveness of the iPad in teaching the smart class. This
method takes into account the learner’s capability and his self-learning speed. Also, the iPad is a modern
teaching method that increases the children interaction with the content of Layla kindergarten smart class unit.
For example, a video was photographed showing the students acting their roles in connection with the two
lessons of other topics. The video was presented to the students through the iPad which has significantly
contributed to the children achievement. This result is attributed to the fact that the learners in the experimental
group were exposed to a continuous learning experience that upgraded their performance. In addition, the high
performance might be due to the fact that the iPad method enabled the students to present the learning content
using various learning tools and media such as sound, movable and stable pictures, written text, and colors.
Also, the students were given feedback on what they have learned and the degree of their learning proficiency,
and accordingly they were supported at the appropriate time, and placed in an active learning environment. This
gives the students a learning incentive on one hand, and retention of what they have learned on the other hand.
In view of the above, the students of the experimental group were provided with a better quality and more
effective learning than what was given to the students of the control group.
Moreover, the results of this study are consistent with previous findings of [6&7&8&9&12&13]and
provide further evidence of the effectiveness of the iPad with its direct and explicit instruction in enhancing
students achievement.
4.2Second Question: Is the achievement of Layla kindergarten children affected by gender?
Table (4) shows that the average performance of the male children in the control group (19.958) is
close to the average performance of the female children (20.694) in the same group. Also, the average
performance of the male children in the experimental group (21.820 ) is close to the average performance of the
female children (22.293) in the same group. These results indicate the absence of remarkable differences in the
performance of the two groups attributed to the gender of the children.
The results of the 2-way interaction analysis shown in Table (5) indicates the absence of any difference
with a statistical indication between the achievement of the male and female children of the Layla kindergarten
in smart class unit. This means that the children of the two genders are equivalent in their learning aptitude
using the iPad which has the same learning importance for both genders. This is due to the similarity of their
learning circumstances pertaining to the education opportunities, time, and curriculum that are available for
both male and female students.
4.3Third Question: Is there any impact on the achievement of the kindergarten grade?
In regards to the interaction between the gender and teaching method, the study results showed no
differences, which have statistical indication at level (α = 0.05) in the achievement of children. This result
might be attributed to applying the iPad in teaching the smart class unit using a new method that has a positive
impact on all student groups regardless of their gender. This impact was clearly reflected in the achievement
level of both male and female children, and resulted in eliminating the interaction between the genders and
teaching method.
V. Conclusion
According to the results of this study, the following conclusions can be drawn:
• Using the iPad in learning has a significant effect on the academic achievement of kindergarten children
compared to those who learned by the traditional method. The analysis of the study results has shown a
difference, that has a statistical indication at the level (α=0.05), in the achievement of the experimental
group and control group. When comparing the arithmetic means of both groups, it was clear that the
difference was in favor of the experimental group. This indicates that the achievement of children (males
and females) who learned by the iPad was better than those who learned by the traditional method.
• The 2-way interaction ANOVA analysis indicates that there is no difference, with statistical indication at
the level (α=0.05), between the achievement of the male and female children.
• Regarding the interaction between the gender and teaching method, the achievement test results of male
and female children in the control group indicated no differences with statistical indication at the level (α =
0.05).This means that the iPad has no effect on the achievement of children attributed to their gender.
