Research+aims+and+objectives

The aims of the research are to:
 * examine the effectiveness of mLearning in early childhood education;
 * investigate the synergy between the pre-service teachers and practising teachers in the adoption of mLearning; and
 * consider the effectiveness of a schools-university partnership model in instituting sustainable educational change.

The research is primarily concerned with instituting and understanding educational change through a series of interventions in two school contexts. Through these interventions the research will generate in-depth understanding of the relative merits of:
 * mLearning in early childhood education;
 * pre-service and practising teachers working together to build their pedagogical and technological knowledge; and
 * creating a schools-university partnership model.
