Students’ Adoption of m-Learning in Higher Education: An Empirical Study
Öz
Universities have an important role in integrating technology into education; therefore, it is crucial
to increase technology use in higher education. Technological improvement, especially in mobile
technology, has a great impact on education, leading to the shift in educational activities from
the web environment to mobile platforms. Since mobile technology is important for education, it
is necessary to evaluate how students benefit from the adoption of the mobile learning concept
and its systems. Considering the importance of mobile technology in education, this study aimed
to reveal the factors affecting students’ intentions toward m-learning. An adoption model was
examined by taking the technology acceptance model as a base. A questionnaire was employed
on 417 undergraduate or postgraduate students to collect data. Model validation was performed
by structural equation modeling. The model revealed the factors that affect students’ acceptance
of m-learning as perceived usefulness, technical efficacy, social norm, system features, perceived
trust, and innovativeness. Examination of these factors will be useful for the design of m-learning
applications, understanding the main reasons behind the users’ attitude toward m-learning and
promoting the use of m-learning in education.
