N2  - The rapid development in technology has led to an increase in new mobiledevices and technologies. The services provided in the electronic environmentare no longer available in mobile environments. Mobile device use and wirelessinternet usage are increasing day by day. In this period, called as mobile age,mobile technology affected almost all fields and also affected the educationfield. This has made mobile learning a new model for today. Especiallynowadays, internet and mobile applications are becoming more and more common,and it is important to work on the adaptation of technological developments andmobile learning.In this study, it is aimed to examine the studies on mobile learning ineducation in our country and to reveal the tendency in the studies. Thus, it isexpected that this study will contribute to the researcher who will studymobile learning in our country. In this study, which is expected to guide theresearchers working on the field of mobile learning in their own researches, wehave systematically investigated all the studies that can be reached from thestudies on this subject in our country. The sub-objectives of the survey are toseek answers to the following questions within the scope of the studiesexamined.1) How is the distribution oftypes of publications according to the years of work and in total?2) How is the distribution ofresearch methods?3) How is the number ofauthors in the research according to years and in total?4) How is the sample sizedistribution based on the research types and the total?5) What is the preferredsample level according to the type of research and in total?6) What are the areas oflearning that are concentrated according to the types of research and in total?7) Which data collection tool(s) are the most used?8) What are the most commonlyused dependent variables?9) Which statistical method(s) is the most used?10) Which mobile learningtechnologies are used the most?11) What lessons do mobilelearning studies have been made on?Descriptive analysis has been carried out to determine the trends of theresearches on the mobile learning field. In the qualitative research model,principles of document analysis were applied in the process of obtaining andinterpreting the data. A search was made from Google scholar and all databasesthat the Uludağ University Library have a membership and from the Higher EducationCouncil (YÖK) thesis center, by using the mobile learning, m-learning, mobilelearning and m-learning keywords, and studies puplished between 2007 and 2017.It was benefited from the studies in the field to create the themes andcodes appropriate for the scope of the research. The data and findings wereobtained from the investigations investigated within the scope of the study.The studies examined within the scope of the study were shared among theresearchers and analyzed according to the principles of document analysis(analysis). The data obtained by a researcher was shared with the otherresearchers, the data were verified, the data were verified and a 93.9%compliance rate was obtained.In this study; “1) Most studies on mobilelearning (18.4%) were conducted in 2015. Surveys were conducted mostly in thetype of article (43.4%). In addition, studies in the area of mobile learning indoctoral theses have been scarce.2) In the last 10 years, ithas been seen that the studies on the mobile learning field are about 21,1% ofthe studies for application and development. Researchers have found that themixed (qualitative quantitative) method is the most preferred method.3) It was determined that52.6% of the researches had 1 author study. 1 author studies were conducted in2008 at most.4) Among the studies on mobilelearning in education, the most preferred sample is between 0-30 people with18.4% preference. It is also seen that there are non-sampling studies and theproportion of these studies (22.4%) is not very low.5) When we look at the samplelevels of the researches, 39.5% of the samples were preferred at the licenselevel.6) It is seen that 65.8% ofmobile learning is the most concentrated learning area, and secondly it is thestudy of language education.7) Survey was preferred with amaximum rate of 18.4% for data collection in the research.8) As a dependent variable,students 'views / student-teacher views / student-academicians' opinions werepreferred by 19.7%. Mobile learning(46.1%) was found to be in the most commonlyused independent variable.9) The most qualitative dataanalysis methods were used in the study with 32,9%.10) Mobile learning is the mostpreferred smartphone with 30.3%. It is also seen that there are a lot of studiesin which mobile learning technologies are not used.11) Surveys were conducted onlearning foreign languages at the rate of 15.8%.” findings were obtained.As a result of this research, the multiplicity of efforts to implementand develop the method is remarkable (21,1%). This supports the idea thatmobile learning is a new field in education.It is seen that licenses are preferred as sample level from studiesdone. The reason for this is that most of the researchers are academicians. Inaddition, the fact that they worked with small samples (0-30) in their studiesis thought to be due to the fact that the academicians prefer easily accessiblesamples and it is difficult to control them in large groups.When we look at the distribution of statistical methods used in thestudy, it is seen that the method of qualitative analysis is the majority. Forthis reason, it is thought that mobile education is a new field in education.In the vast majority of studies, smartphone is the foreground as the technologyused in mobile learning. This is thought to be due to the fact that thestudents have smartphones.With this study, it is thought that researchers will provide guidanceabout research method, sample size, sampling level, learning area, datacollection tool, statistical method that can be used and mobile learningtechnology used.
