Aims and Scope
Advances in Mobile Learning Educational Research (AMLER) (ISSN: 2737-5676) is an open access, continuously published, international, refereed journal that aims to increase knowledge and understanding of how mobile technology can enhance education by the publication of high-quality research, which extends theory and practice. We welcome research papers on mobile technology's pedagogical uses, where the focus is broad enough to be of interest to a broader education community.
We also welcome:
(1) systematic review papers and meta-analyses that include straightforward research questions, a framework of analysis, and conclusions that reflect the paper's aims;
(2) studies that focus on teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and educational robotics;
(3) studies that address specific challenges in improving students’ achievement, approaches used to motivate and engage students, and lessons learned from changes in curriculum and instruction based on educational technology in general.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
• M-learning Educational Technology
• M-learning Educational Philosophy and Theory
• M-learning Education Innovation Management
• M-learning Educational Psychology
• M-learning Educational Policy
• M-learning Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis

Creating a watermill through STEAM activities for preschool children in the schoolyard
Evaggelia Skaraki
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) initiatives engage in classroom and schoolyard activities in early childhood education. In early childhood, learning through play provides children with the resources they need for an enjoyable learning environment, especially when the activities take place in the schoolyard, as this is where children can better concentrate and, at the same time, increase their creativity. This work investigates whether preschool children can create watermills through STEAM activities in the schoolyard. Thirty-four children aged 4-6 years participated in the research, and the results were encouraging as the children liked that the activities were outside. At the same time, the teachers were worried if they would be able to support such activities. Preschoolers have a spontaneous disposition toward science with a sense of curiosity and creativity. More research needs to be done on out-of-class activities with the STEAM app, and this training should be incorporated in all kindergartens.
