- Abstract
To understand how children learn to activate digital features through social interactions, we explored how 10 kindergarten peer buddies and digital features shaped the Zone of Free Movement (what is available in the learning environment) and Zone Promoted Action (what attempts to draw learners' attention in the learning environment) across 15 buddy reading sessions to support a shift from a buddy's Zone of Proximal Development (what they are ready to do with support) to their new Zone of Actual Development (what they can newly do independently--i.e., learning) for activating digital features in the app book. Emergent coding and constant comparative methods were used to develop codes and identify patterns. Buddies employed four actions to mediate their buddy toward effective use of the app book features: (1) verbal mediation and pointing; (2) modeling feature use; (3) both 1 and 2 and (4) physical support for activating a digital feature.
