The study involved the participation of 131 students and eight teachers . Data were collected from participant observation, students’questionnaires and interviews to students and teachers . According to students, they learned new things, related with the topics explored, in an easy and funny way. Students also emphasized as positive aspects the fact that they had to face different challenges and the need to mobilize their knowledge to solve them . Teachers referred that students showed great interest and enthusiasm during the activities . As main gains, teachers stressed that the application fosters the relationship of students with the city, facilitates collaboration, and promotes students’ autonomy. In resume, it seems that the playful and interactive dimension of the App promoted the development of important skills such as the ability to interact with the environment, collaborative work, autonomy, and reading and interpretation skills . As a conclusion, there is a great receptivity to integrate mobile technologies in the teaching and learning process, but the role of the teacher can’t be dismissed, as a mediator and educator .  \nKeywords  \nDigital educational resources; Mobile learning ; Mobile applications; Primary education .  \nC.

Introduction  \nThe voyages of discovery, as revolutionary leaps in the technology of communication, reduced the distance between the world’s societies ...  \n(Hess, 1970, p. 1892) .  \nIn nowadays society, in which technological and scientific knowledge assumes a leading role, it is important to form enlightened citizens, who are able to reflect critically about the world and to make both responsible and informed decisions concerning issues related to their lives (Holbrook & Rannikmae, 2007; Osborne & Dillon, 2008) . The skills needed for a citizen of the 21st century are based on critical thinking and problem solving, on effective communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation (AMA, 2010; EP&C, 2006) .  \nHow can school education contribute to achieve this goal? There has been a recent trend towards competence-based teaching and learning with very significant changes in school curricula . These changes involve more engaging cross-curriculum approaches emphasizing the development of different kinds of literacy, as well as an increased use of “real-life” applications, providing appealing learning contexts, meaningful and related with students’ social reality (Bybee, 2000, 2001) . In order to achieve high levels of literacy, international recommendations (Osborne and Dillon 2008) point out the need for teachers to develop a critical teaching strategy, organize challenging learning environments, both in formal as well as non-formal s","cbCaivkPeT1CESHF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivkPeT1CESHF","pdf",1129158,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n## 21st-century skills and competence-based education\n## Literacy development in elementary grades\n## Mobile technologies and digital natives","[{\"question\":\"What app is evaluated in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates the mobile app “Roteiro dos Descobrimentos” as an educational digital resource for primary school students.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the app’s impact assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Impact was assessed with participant observation, students’ questionnaires, and interviews with both students and teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"What main benefits did teachers and students report?\",\"answer\":\"Students reported learning new content in an easy and fun way and valued facing challenges that required using their knowledge.
