These factors have gendered differences due to systemic patriarchy and social stereotypes. There is limited scholarship on identifying such factors and gender…

The use of tablets by young children is increasing and more research is needed to understand how to evaluate and map the emergence of digital writing. To explore this, children (aged 2-5 years; N = 48) were asked to write on an iPad using a drawing app (1×10-minute session/week over 9 weeks). Traditional frameworks for early writing development…

The purpose of the study is to reveal the relationship between teachers' lifelong learning tendencies and digital literacy levels. Both single and correlational survey designs from the quantitative research models were employed.
