The Conceptual Framing, Design, and Development of Mobile-Mediated Professional Development for Primary Mathematics Teachers

This paper examines the design and development of a mobile-mediated professional development program for primary school teachers. It explores learning design frameworks and strategies to offer effective, 24/7, anywhere-anytime PD using mobile technology. The study highlights the significance of design requirements and best practices in mobile-mediated TPD, and presents a conceptual framework incorporating various pedagogical/andragogic approaches and instructional design possibilities enabled by mobile technology. The framework is based on the integrative learning design framework (ILDF), CSAM, RASE, Keller's ARCS, and TPACK framework. The resulting framework enacts evidence-informed and theory-led models, and best practices to cater to instructional design requirements for creating meaningful mobile-based learning experiences for teachers.
