Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study addresses the imperative for contemporary computer science educators to integrate mobile technology into their pedagogy, with a particular focus on mobile gaming applications for educational content. Through a meticulous literature review and surveys, the research identifies crucial competencies required by computer science teachers, evaluates current assessment methods, and proposes integrative strategies for curricula. Key competencies such as coding, pedagogical integration of technology, and game design principles are spotlighted. The development of assessment tools aims to balance theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring educators' readiness for a digitally oriented classroom. Proposals for curriculum integration emphasize the harmonization of technical skills with effective teaching methods, aligning education with rapid technological advancements. The findings suggest the need for enhanced teacher training, practical application opportunities, and industry-academia collaboration. This research contributes a framework for updating computer science education, preparing educators to meet modern technological challenges and enrich student learning outcomes.
