Patterns of Smartphone Use for Mobile Learning: Findings from a Student Survey

This study examines the extent of smartphone utilization for mobile learning (m-learning) among university students. The objectives of the research are to identify the level of smartphone use for learning purposes, to explore students’ perceptions of smartphones as m-learning tools, and to determine the frequency and manner in which smartphones support learning activities. A quantitative survey design was employed, with data collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The findings indicate that the majority of respondents actively use smartphones to support various aspects of m-learning, including accessing learning materials, engaging in online tasks, and communicating with instructors and peers. Overall, the results suggest that smartphones play a significant role in facilitating mobile learning and are widely accepted as a flexible, accessible learning aid. This study highlights the potential of smartphones to enhance teaching and learning in higher education and provides insights that may inform future development of mobile-based learning strategies.
