Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the educational usefulness, problems of smartpad-based instruction in elementary school based on qualitative research. To accomplish the purpose of the study, D elementary school in metropolitan area, two classes of digital textbook model school for seven years, were selected as the classes for observation. Six fourth and fifth graders and their teachers were interviewed and their 10 lessons were used for analyzing teaching and learning activities in smartpad-based instruction. The results of the study, 'Facilitating collaboration and interaction', 'effective use of various resource and SNS', 'improving concentrativeness', 'shortening waiting time' were identified as main educational usefulness. 'Lack of learning supporting tools', 'focusing on function rather than learning contents', 'low learning effectiveness', 'interference of flow' were presented as problems in using smartpad in classroom. Finally, some practical tasks for effective application of smartpad-based instruction were recommended.
