Mobile learning en la Educacion Superioruna alternativa educativa en entornos interactivos de aprendizaje

Abstract

The research presented aims to know those factors of human behaviour that directly influence students to use mobile learning strategies. There are starting point: on the one hand, we have seen the widespread use of mobile devices, and on the other hand, the appropriateness of technological acceptance theories, capable of identifying the elements that could guarantee success of mobile learning strategies in current society. Using as a theoretical basis the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, we analyzed the intention to use this type of teaching methodologies among the students of the University of Huelva, trying to find out which are the variables that directly influence their behavior to participate of training actions of mobile learning and empirically validating a model that had never before been used in this context. Therefore, this study will allow us to have a generalized image of the attitude of young people to use new technologies as a learning tool, as well as to establish a research model valid for this purpose within the Higher Education in Spain.
