Mobile school of informatics: Integration in the educational process of secondary general education schools of the republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Despite the fact that mobile learning technologies have been sufficiently studied and there are many studies on their application, they have not yet become widespread. This study is conducted to address the problem of motivating students for learning and enhancing their information competence through mobile technologies in computer science lessons within the school education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. An in-depth analysis of both domestic and international experiences in the use of mobile technologies in education has been carried out. During the study, a model and methodology for integrating mobile learning into the teaching of the disciplines "Informatics" and "Digital Literacy" in Kazakhstan's school system have been developed. The model and educational resources were implemented in experimental schools. The article presents the results, which are supported by evidence of the effectiveness of the methodology through the Mann-Whitney U-test. The findings suggest that the developed approach can be scaled and applied not only in computer science lessons but also across other subjects, contributing to the broader integration of mobile technologies in education.
