A STUDY OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS READINESS OF THE USE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING AND LEARNING Abstract
After almost more than a decade since 1999 of providing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Brunei Government schools, innovations in mobile technologies are starting to be explored in educational settings, since nowadays it is become the current trend in other countries to provide mobile technologies such as laptops to schools. This is because of the rapid growth of mobile users and availability of online resources will push the educational institutions to adopt mobile teaching and learning solutions. Furthermore, nowadays mobile technologies are rapidly evolving to include local area wireless connections using Wi-Fi, Third Generation (3G) mobile communications, and related mobile computing devices such as laptops, smart phones, and various Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) handheld devices. As such, applying mobile technologies in teaching and learning represents an exciting new frontier in education and pedagogy. Countries such as Singapore and the United Kingdom use the Mobile Technologies to enhance teaching and learning and research outcomes reported in Attewell’s (2005) summary of the 2001 MLearn project, suggest that the use of mobile technologies in teaching and learning may have positive contributions in students’ ways of learning. Mobile Technologies can provide flexibility in student learning. Students can have access to educational materials through their mobile devices, which enable them to learn anytime and anywhere. In order to effectively use and adopt mobile technologies in our Brunei Government Education institutions, research need to be conducted in this area. The purpose of the study is to identify teachers’ and students’
