The Effect of M-learning on Mathematics Learning

Abstract

Mobile technology opens the door for next generation and let the learning occurs in anytime, anywhere and to be influence in a variety of learning contexts. The study was conducted in 329 teachers from 2352 secondary school teachers of Mathematics from 19 districts of Tehran using descriptive-field method during 2012-2013 academic years. A researcher-made Likhert-type questionnaire was developed to identify the teachers' viewpoint of the effect of Mlearning in different aspects of Mathematics learning. Twenty six questions measured the effect of different functional capabilities of mobile technology on increased motivation of learning Mathematics. Thirty seven questions measured the effect of different aspects of mobile learning on diversity of training methods of learning Mathematics. Thirty one questions measured the effect of different functional capabilities of mobile learning on students' participation in learning Mathematics. The reliability of the questionnaire using Chronbach's Alpha was 92%. One sample T test was used to examine significance of difference among the variables supporting the effect of M-leaning on different aspects of Mathematics learning. ANOVA was used to examine the effect of teachers' educational level and teaching experience on the effect of M-leaning on Mathematics learning. The results revealed that in teachers' viewpoint, mobile learning has a positive effect on motivating the students towards Mathematics. Also there is a positive and significant relation between using mobile learning and students' participation in Mathematics. Moreover, the relation between mobile learning and diversity of training methods of teachers is positive and significant. The findings of this survey show that teachers of Mathematics are interested in using the mobile technology in Mathematics learning. In their view this technology could increase students' motivation and participation in Mathematics learning and provide the opportunity of diversity of training methods of Mathematics.

Developing Instructional Media Mobile Learning Based Android to Improve Learning Outcomes

“…Thus, the students in the experiment can use their learning hours everywhere and every time as they only have twice of face-to-face classes in the basic skill of Choosing Office Utilize in this Administration Activities. From the educators perspective, mobile learning brings positive impact upon the learning where technology increases motivation and participation of students (Taleb et al, 2015). According to that comparison, to conclude that the learning activities using instructional media mobile learning based android can increase the result learning of students.…”

Trends of Mobile Learning in Mathematics

“…With the existence of mobile technology, we can attract information and provide learning processes at any time and place anywhere. Mobile devices are cheaper than personal computers and are used by many people because almost everyone has a cell phone [13]. The use of advanced technology in the learning and assessment process through mobile learning tests enables students to develop when used according to their needs or experience.…”
