Over 80% of top selling educational apps are targeted at children. Thus, it is critical to know how educators and parents are choosing apps for students. It is also paramount to understand what indicates a quality educational app that enhances learning. Through the use of two theoretical frameworks (i.e., TPACK and U&G), educators and parents app selection behavior were investigated. Educator and parent app selection will provide insights into their TPACK and app specific needs, respectively. The present studies investigated which features educators and parents value when selecting apps from the App Store. This question was addressed by two studies, an eye tracking study with educators (n = 57) and an online study with parents (n = 180). In both studies, participants viewed 10 mock math apps that replicated the App Store presentation format. Five apps included key educational benchmarks and five contained educational buzzwords. Immediately following each app, participants provided value judgements of the app (e.g., would you download it?). Results indicated that both educators and parents value educational benchmarks over buzzwords; both value apps that feature development team, scaffolding, and guiding curriculums more than those with central learning theories and feedback. Thus, educators' educational app knowledge and parents' app needs seem to align with some, but not all, of the research on what makes a good educational app.

520 $a Plus de 80% des applications educatives les plus vendues sont destinees aux enfants. Il est donc essentiel de savoir comment les educateurs ainsi que les parents choisissent les applications pour les eleves. Il est egalement primordial de comprendre ce qui indique une application educative de qualite qui ameliore l'apprentissage. Grace a l'utilisation de deux cadres theoriques (e.x. TPACK et U&G), la facon dont les parents et les enseignants selectionnent l'application a ete etudiee. Le choix des applications pour les enseignants et les parents fournira des informations sur leurs besoins specifiques en matiere de TPACK et d'application, respectivement. Ces etudes concernees ont examine les caracteristiques des educateurs et des parents lors de la selection des applications dans l'App Store. Cette question a ete abordee par deux etudes, une etude de suivi oculaire avec les educateurs (n = 57) et une etude en ligne avec les parents (n = 180). Dans les deux cas etudies, les participants ont observe dix applications mathematiques simulees qui repliquaient le format de presentation de l'App Store. Cinq applications comprenaient des reperes educatifs cles et cinq contenaient des mots a la mode educative. Toute suite apres suivi de chaque application, les participants ont fourni des jugements de valeur concernant l'application concernee (e.x., la telechargeriez-vous?). Les resultats ont indique que les educateurs et les parents accordent plus d'importance aux reperes pedagogiques qu'aux mots a la mode; les deux categories apprecient plus les applications qui comprennent une equipe de developpement, un echafaudage et des programmes d'orientation par rapport aux celles avec des theories d'apprentissage centrales et des commentaires. En consequence, la connaissance des enseignants des applications educatives et aussi les applications exigees par des parents semblent correspondre a certaines mais pas a toutes les recherches sur ce qui fait une bonne application educative.
