| dc.description.abstract | The ubiquity of mobile phones provides an opportunity to use them as a resource for construction of
programs beyond the classroom. However, limitations of mobile phones impede their use as typical
programming environments. This research proposed that programming environments on mobile phones
could include scaffolding techniques specifically designed for mobile phones, and designed based on
learners’ needs. Experiments were conducted with 142 learners from three universities in Kenya and
South Africa in order to investigate the effect on learners of using the theoretically-derived scaffolding
techniques to construct Java programs on a mobile phone. The results provided empirical evidence that
scaffolding techniques specifically designed for mobile phones and designed based on learners’ needs
could effectively support the construction of programs on a mobile phone. | en_US |
