Abstract

Increased teacher competence is the focus of the current Indonesian government. Thus, there should be efforts made to support the government program. Since, in the 21st century, the achievement of competence in teachers is no longer classical but must experience a tremendous jump. The jump can be achieved by organizing learning that utilizes Information and Communication Technology (ICT). One form of ICT products is mobile learning, where learning resources can be accessed anywhere and anytime. The success of mobile learning is dependent on the selection of appropriate learning approaches. One appropriate approach for mobile learning is projectbased learning. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of learning with the approach of project-based learning and the use of mobile-learning to students' competencies, interest, and motivation. Results show that theachers' competences, interest, and motivation who receive project-based learning with mobile learning are good. This is indicated by; first, the better acceptance of ICT learning compared with learning without it, secondly, the portfolio developed by students in ICT implemented classes is better than the learning without it, thirdly, students have a high interest in ICT learning, students have good enthusiasm and activeness, and more importantly, students benefit by implementing ICT-based learning.
