| dc.description.abstract | Although geometry and English are two important subjects in school and strongly related to the real life contexts, students still had few chances to learn these two subjects in authentic contexts. Moreover, with facilitation of advanced technologies, ‘smart in education’ become a promising research issue, especially smart for authentic contextual learning (ACL) discipline. However, there was still lack of studies addressing smart learning in authentic context for geometry and English. Therefore, this study proposed a Smart ACL frame work and implemented the study in two stages, stage one focus on ACL, stage two focus on Smart ACL for Geometry and English. The Smart ACL framework in this study was considered in three dimensions: Personalization, Contextualization, and Socialization. The proposed framework aimed to support students’ learning in terms of cognition at Local and Global level and the implementation of the framework was at the stage two of the study. In stage one, ubiquitous geometric (UG) app and ubiquitous English (UEnglish) were developed and allowed students to apply and practice geometry and English in authentic contexts. This study focused on the influence of learning behaviors in authentic contexts on learning achievement with UG and UEnglish support. Furthermore, the relationship among learning behaviors and learning achievements were investigated. The measurements in real situation could stimulate students’ motivation and improve their geometry and English learning. In the second stage, based on the proposed Smart ACL framework, SmartUG app and SmartUEnglish app were developed to support students smartly to consolidate their learning through enriching experience in ACL. There were four smart mechanisms proposed for SmartUG app including direction guidance, learning progress, object recognition and answer feedback. The smart mechanisms aimed to guide students in measuring and applying geometry smartly and meaningfully in authentic contexts. The smart mechanisms in SmartUEnglish app were designed with considering flexible, sustainable and adaptive conversations to improve English speaking and lexical resources. The results showed that students benefited from the proposed learning systems and they expressed high satisfaction toward them as well as the learning activities in authentic contexts. Based on the proposed smart ACL framework, future studies could consider to implement more smart mechanisms to support learning in authentic contexts. | en_US |
