The impact of interactive mobile learning on academic achievement and attitudes towards it: An experimental study on female students at the College of Basic Education

Abstract

This study aimed at measuring the academic achievement of students in the Mobile Learning Environment (m-learning) and their attitudes towards it, and the impact of interaction on the students’ academic achievement and attitudes. An experimental design approach was employed to examine the academic achievement and attitudes of (97) female students from the department of mathematics at the College of Basic Education at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training in Kuwait. One-sample design method was used to compare the students’ attitude and achievement in two different learning environments: (1) interactive m-learning and (2) non-interactive m-learning. The results of the paired Sample T-test showed significant differences between the two environments in both the academic achievements and attitudes in favor of the interactive m-learning.
