Public opinions are divided on the relative benefits versus harms of allowing mobile phones in schools. When debating the consequences of mobile phones in schools, politicians often argue that students' use of mobile phones distract from their learning, increase cyberbullying and lead to poor mental health outcomes. We conducted a scoping review…

Mobile language learning (MLL) is an emerging field of research, and many MLL applications have been developed over the years. In this paper, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to establish a body of knowledge on the development of MLL applications. The SLR analyzed forty seven papers from seven different digital libraries…

The aim of this review is to provide a synthesis of empirical evidence regarding the utilization and influence of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) within higher education establishments. The results show the considerable potential of MALL in enhancing various facets of…

This systematic review evaluates the application of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model in higher education, analyzing 162 SSCI/SCI-E articles from 2008 to 2022. It reveals a predominant focus on student participants from Asia and North America. Mobile learning tools are the most studied technologies. Surveys…

The use of mobile technology in physics education has become more prevalent, but more data about its effect on student academic performance needs to be collected. This meta-analysis examines the effects of mobile learning on student achievement in physics and any moderating factors. The study collected 36 primary studies from various scientific…

This research study aims to utilize a second-order meta-analysis procedure to synthesize the effects of inquiry-based learning model (IBLM) on learning outcomes. An extensive systematic review process resulted in the inclusion of 10 meta-analyses conducted between 2015 and 2022 with minimal overlap between primary studies. The results revealed…

Innovations and advancements in modern technologies have induced changes in every sphere of human activity, including education. Smartphones represent modern, state-of-the-art gadgets which aim at fostering the teaching and learning process of EFL (English as a foreign language) learners. Students may experience and enjoy considerable benefits of…

Despite the rapid development of the field of Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL), research synthesis and systematic meta-analyses on MALL are still lacking. It remains unclear how effective mobile devices are for language learning under different conditions. Review studies on the overall effectiveness of the latest smart mobile devices are…

This article presents a review of the literature on smart learning in order to provide a comprehensive overview of its latest developments in research and practice. The review covered 90 studies published from 2010 to 2019, which were collected from three publication databases, namely Web of Science, Scopus and ProQuest. They were analysed for the…

Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning (m/u-learning) are finding an increasing adoption in education. They are often distinguished by hybrid learning environments that encompass elements of formal and informal learning, in activities that happen in distributed settings (indoors and outdoors), across physical and virtual spaces. Despite their purported…

Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is an innovative approach to language learning that utilizes mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to support language learning. MALL has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the widespread availability of mobile devices and the flexibility they offer for language learning. The aim…

This meta-analysis reviewed research between 2012 and 2018 focused on technology-assisted second language (L2) vocabulary learning for English as a foreign language (EFL) learner. A total of 45 studies of 2,374 preschool-to-college EFL students contributed effect sizes to this meta-analysis. Compared with traditional instructional methods, the…

It is evident that technology plays an important role in the foreign language teaching and learning processes, whereas foreign language anxiety (FLA) is one of the considerable affective variables that influence adversely the aforementioned processes. However, how the use of technology affects FLA levels has not been drawn attention among…
