TLDR
It was found that such variables as program/department, grade, gender and possessing a laptop are neutral in causing a practically significant difference in preservice teachers' views, which imply an urgent need to grow awareness among participating student teachers towards the concept of m-learning.Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate preservice teachers' perceptions about using m-phones and laptops in education as mobile learning tools. A total of 1087 preservice teachers participated in the study. The results indicated that preservice teachers perceived laptops potentially stronger than m-phones as m-learning tools. In terms of limitations the situation was balanced for laptops and m-phones. Generally, the attitudes towards using laptops in education were not exceedingly positive but significantly more positive than m-phones. It was also found that such variables as program/department, grade, gender and possessing a laptop are neutral in causing a practically significant difference in preservice teachers' views. The results imply an urgent need to grow awareness among participating student teachers towards the concept of m-learning, especially m-learning through m-phones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]read more
