Abstract

Access to quality education in remote and rural areas remains a global challenge due to geographical isolation, lack of infrastructure, and limited resources. Mobile learning (m-learning) has emerged as a potential solution to bridge this gap, offering flexible and accessible education through mobile devices. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile learning in remote and rural areas, focusing on its impact on student engagement, learning outcomes, and the challenges associated with its implementation. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with students and teachers from rural schools that have adopted mobile learning platforms. The study involved 250 students and 50 teachers across three regions. Quantitative data was analyzed to assess learning outcomes, while qualitative data provided insights into the user experience and challenges faced in implementing m-learning. The findings reveal that mobile learning significantly improves student engagement, with 70% of students reporting increased motivation to learn due to the flexibility and accessibility of m-learning. However, technical challenges such as poor internet connectivity and limited access to devices were noted as barriers to full adoption. Despite these challenges, 65% of teachers reported positive changes in student performance and participation. In conclusion, mobile learning offers a promising solution for enhancing education in remote and rural areas. While it significantly improves engagement and learning outcomes, addressing the technical and infrastructural barriers is crucial for maximizing its potential. The study suggests that with proper investment in infrastructure, m-learning can be an effective tool for bridging educational disparities in underserved regions.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to develop a pop-up book as an educational medium to introduce sexual education concepts appropriately to children aged 5–6 years, in order to support their understanding of body awareness, personal boundaries, and safe behavior from an early age. Design/methods/approach – This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach utilizing the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) proposed by Thiagarajan, et al., though the study was limited to the development phase. Primary data were collected through expert validation and practitioner feedback using structured validity and practicality instruments. The validity instrument assessed three domains: graphic design feasibility, content relevance, and media suitability. The practicality instrument evaluated media usability from the perspectives of content clarity and instructional effectiveness. Findings – The developed pop-up book media obtained a validity score of 76.33%, indicating a valid category, and a practicality score of 81.33%, indicating a highly practical category. These results confirm that the media is both pedagogically sound and feasible for implementation in early childhood learning contexts, particularly for delivering sensitive topics such as sexual education in a developmentally appropriate and engaging manner. Research implications/Limitations – This study is limited to the development phase; thus, future research is recommended to explore the effectiveness of the pop-up book in improving children's knowledge, attitudes, and protective behaviors related to sexual education through experimental or longitudinal studies. Originality/value – This study presents an innovative, developmentally appropriate approach to introducing sexual education through pop-up book media, offering a practical solution for early childhood educators to address sensitive topics in an engaging and culturally respectful manner.
