Role of Mobile Learning in Enhancing Academic Achievement of Students at University Level

Abstract

    The main objective of the study was to investigate the role of mobile learning in enhancing the academic achievement of students at the university level. The current study was descriptive in nature, and a survey method was applied for the conduction of the study. The targeted population was all the students of the University of Kotli, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir. The researcher selected 353 university students as a sample of the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as a research tool. Collected data were analyzed by using simple percentages, frequency, and mean scores. It is concluded that mobile technology enables students to engage in academic tasks, provides students with a unique learning experience; students collect information and research engines, engages students in computer and online learning. It is recommended that mobile learning can be improved by providing teacher training on behalf of university administrators for use in the process of teaching and learning.
