Mobile Learning Readiness Among Malaysian Students at Higher Education in Learning Mathematics

Abstract

Mobile learning offers many advantages for students. It provides easy access to learning materials, increases student engagement, encourages collaboration, and allows for more personalized learning. The accessibility of mobile devices does not ensure that students will use m-learning in education, especially in mathematics. One way mathematics has been studied is through traditional classroom sessions where a teacher teaches students one-to-one. This approach is time-consuming and can be difficult for some students to follow. Therefore, this study’s objective is to determine the readiness of students in higher education to use mobile learning in learning mathematics. In total, 128 students voluntarily participated in this study. The survey was divided into three sections: section A is for personal information, section B is for mobile devices, and part C is for readiness to use mobile learning. The result showed students were ready, willing, and welcome to use mobile devices and technology to support their learning, but it is important to note that most of the scores were average. To further enhance students' engagement and motivation towards m-learning, addressing any potential barriers or challenges hindering their readiness may be helpful. At the end of this study will contribute to the body of knowledge on mobile learning readiness and promote the use of mobile technology in education.
