M-learning: M-learning Applications, Students Input for M-learning in Science Instruction

Abstract

This study is an attempt to explore availability and functionality of mobile devices among students of using mobile devices in science instructional settings based on student input. By reviewing the relevant literature about m-learning implementations and discussions, several ambiguous or incompletely studied factors are identified. A related survey is developed to gather data about the student needs and views considering the recommendations and findings from the literature. Survey was then administered to preservice science teachers. Findings are analyzed and descriptive statistics and m-learning applications are evaluated on practicality. Some recommendations are put forward based on the conclusions drawn by the results.
