The use of technological devices, especially mobile devices, in language learning has increased the number of studies in this field. In this regard, it is essential to identify students' attitudes towards mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). Therefore, the present study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate Gönülal's (2019) attitudes…

The current study uses the technology acceptance model to understand the drivers affecting Indonesian pre-service teachers' intention to use m-learning. Eleven hypotheses were proposed within seven variables; self-efficacy, subjective norms, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes, and intention to use…

With near ubiquitous smartphone ownership among 18-29-year-olds, many students carry mobile technology everywhere they go, yet little is known about how students use mobile devices for learning. For historically marginalized students, in particular, their phone may be an important tool for learning--especially if it is the primary device used to…

This study explores the potential of QR code technology in enhancing preservice science teachers' understanding of astronomy topics and their views on the Nature of Science (NOS). Using QR codes, the study focused on teaching complex concepts like the Kuiper Belt, dwarf planets, and Pluto's reclassification, while fostering an explicit and…

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a concise and efficient predictive model used to explain the acceptance of m-learning technology. However, several studies have shown that TAM cannot fully explain the acceptance of m-learning among Generation Z. This study aims to formulate TAM as a model of m-learning acceptance for Generation Z. TAM…

The surge in technology adoption has transformed students into 'digital natives' who require innovative teaching methods to enhance their engagement and learning. This paper investigates the impact of integrating QuickBooks®, an accounting mobile app, on students' learning, engagement, and interest in the course. It utilizes a survey questionnaire…

Mobile learning (M-learning) has become a crucial tool for both students and educators. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the technology acceptance model (TAM), and outside factors were all included in this study's integrative review approach to examine the variables affecting university students' intention to use…

This study explores the factors influencing student engagement and behavioral intention towards mobile learning platforms, with a focus on widely used platforms in Indonesia, such as Ruangguru, Zenius, and Quipper. A total of 375 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 363 were deemed valid and used for analysis. The research employed…

This research builds on the recently published paper (Garden, 2022c), which explored through interviews the use of iPads as cameras to enhance Forest School practice. Children's perspectives of the Forest School space captured what was important to them on camera (Garden, 2022c). Working with the same group of 32 Key Stage 2 children selected from…

This study set out to determine what variables led students to choose mobile learning during COVID-19 and to study the direct impact of the perceived fear of COVID-19 (PCF) on undergraduate learners' intentions to adopt m-learning in developing countries such as Sudan. It utilizes the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a foundation and uses PCF…
