Student’s Opinions for Using Tablet PCs in Education: A Case Study
Abstract
Tablet PCs may produce solutions to some problems experienced in the traditional classes. The
purpose of this qualitative case study is to evaluate students' suggestions about a tablet-enhanced learning
environment which aims to increase the efficiency of the instructional process in the classroom. The participants of
the study were 20 (62.5%) male and 12 (37.5%) female pre-service teachers. Two open-ended questions were
directed to the participants: (I) What are your suggestions about the tablet-enhanced learning environment? and (II)
How could tablet PCs be used more effectively during the lessons? Also, information regarding the pre-service
teachers’ genders and their experiences with touch screen devices was collected. It was found that students’ opinions
about the tablet-enhanced instruction were negative with respect to the five themes found (instructional approach,
student experience, time management, technical problems and ownership) and they faced some problems during the
instructions in the classroom.
