Abstract

This research paper is critical analysis of the application of a Mobile Electronic Whiteboard (EWB) system as a new pedagogical tool to structuring collaborative classroom discourse and improves parental envolvement in the framework of early childhood education (ECE). The research design used in the study is a mixed-method research design; it incorporates the findings of the previous ICT meta-analyses with qualitative data gathered during the interviews with the primary stakeholders such as the teachers and parents. Findings show that the EWB advocates multidimensional assessment and the movement is above the traditional summative evaluation into a formative and more evidence-based model of learning assessment. Empirical findings show that the EWB ability to document and categorize real time instructional data results in statistically significant enhancement in the learning of subject knowledge with observed effect size of 0.59 that is in line with the previous research on ICT enhanced learning studies.
