“…Regarding student interests, no technology is currently as ubiquitous as the mobile phone (Williams & Pence, 2011), and, in certain contexts, more specifically the smartphone. Due to this, many authors recommend their incorporation into the classroom to assist in promoting student engagement (for example Jones, Issroff, &Scanlon, 2007 andProject Tomorrow, 2010), even though empirical data concerning the effect of mobile technology upon task engagement is negligible.…”

Teachers all over the world strive to keep their students engaged, and research has shown that task engagement can be elevated by utilising technology to complete classroom activities. Reasons suggested for this is that technology's alignment with students' interests, as well as the stimulatingly transformative effect that technology can have on activities. Due to current students' preferences, authors now encourage incorporating mobile phones into the classroom, claiming that it will improve task engagement. However, this has not been empirically proven. Therefore, this mixed method quasi experimental study examined whether two groups completing identical activities, where one group using their smartphones, would have any difference in their engagement with the given activities. The results indicated that a statistically significant difference in the initiation times and distraction between experimental and control settings. Although no significant emotional difference was observed between the groups, the students themselves indicated a significant difference in their emotional attitude towards smartphone activities as compared to paper-based ones. The smartphone group managed to engage with activities, thereby overcoming many factors which affected the control groups' engagement levels.

“…Propelled by the growing market of smart phones, M-learning is becoming more acceptable in teaching and learning process as these mobile devices are smart as they claimed to be -customizing their contents according to users' specific needs [6]. Teaching and learning has become more manageable and diverse as students can perform many learning activities freely and easily, for instance, they can download lectures notes almost instantaneously for lectures that they had missed.…”

Abstract-Of late, mobile technology has introduced new, novel environment that can be capitalized to further enrich the teaching and learning process in classrooms. Taking cognizance of this promising setting, a study was undertaken to investigate the impact of such an environment enabled by android platform on the learning process among undergraduates of Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia; in particular, this paper discusses critical aspects of the design and implementation of the android learning system. Data were collected through a survey involving 56 respondents, and these data were analyzed by using SPSS 12.0. Findings showed that the respondents were very receptive to the interactivity, accessibility, and convenience of the system, but they were quite frustrated with the occasional interruptions due to internet connectivity problems. Overall, the mobile learning system can be utilized as an inexpensive but potent learning tool that complements undergraduates' learning process.

“…Az unalom sokszor úgy mutatkozik meg a diákoknál, hogy ahelyett, hogy odafigyelnének az órán, a telefonjukat nyomkodják. Ha a mindennapi oktatásba be tudnánk vinni, hogy érdekes és az órá-hoz kapcsolódó tartalmakat elérjenek okostelefonjaik segítségével, ahogyan azt néhány egyetem már megtette (Yu és Conway, 2012;Williams és Pence, 2011), csökkenthetnénk a diákok unalmát.…”

A Rövid Egyetemi Unalom Kérdőív faktorstruktúrája Kutatásunk célja az volt, hogy -Pekrun, Goetz, Titz és Perry (2002) (Pekrun, 2011), melyek közvetlenül hatnak az iskolai eredményességre. A gyakrabban vizsgált (vizsga-) szorongás mellett az unalom is idesorolható. A jelen tanulmányban célunk bemutatni egy olyan mérőeszközt, mely az egyetemisták tanulás közbeni, illetve tanórák alatti unalmát hivatott mérni.Artur Schopenhauer szerint az ember boldogságának két ellensége a fájdalom és az unalom. A Magyar Értelmező Kéziszótár (1992Kéziszótár ( , 1429. o.) a következőképpen határoz-za meg az unalom fogalmát: "Az a kellemetlen lelkiállapot, amelyben semmi sem köti le az ember figyelmét, érdeklődését." O'Hanlon (1981) meghatározása szerint az unalom egy pszichofiziológiai állapot, ami akkor következik be, ha valaki hosszan ki van téve egy monoton ingernek. Ez a definíció azt sugallja, hogy a környezet a felelős az unalomért. Fisher (1993) meghatározása szerint azonban ez egy múló érzelmi állapot, amiben az egyén elveszti érdeklődését az adott tevékenység iránt. Ez viszont a szituáció jelentésének a szerepét mutatja az egyén számára (Mann és Robinson, 2009
