Exploring the Effectiveness of Mobile Learning Technologies in Enhancing Student Engagement and Learning Outcomes

This study aimed to investigate the impact of mobile learning technologies on student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education. A pre-test/post-test control group design was employed to compare the engagement and learning outcomes of students who used a mobile learning platform with those who did not. The study was conducted with undergraduate students at a large public university. Results showed that the intervention group reported a more positive experience with the platform, used it more frequently, found it more useful, and were more satisfied with it than the control group. Additionally, the intervention group outperformed the control group in terms of both course grades and standardized test scores. The findings suggest that mobile learning technologies can positively impact student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education. Future research could explore ways to optimize the platform further and investigate the scalability and sustainability of implementing mobile learning technologies in higher education. © 2023 by the authors of this article.
