Teaching and learning activities through the use of mobile phone technology

In the twenty-first century, mobile phone technology applications have been developed, tested and implemented in various mediums. The aim of the research was to investigate teaching and learning activities through the use of mobile phone technology. To achieve this aim, four objectives were identified and discussed along with the methodology used. A total of 23% of the students involved in the research demonstrated two types of learning by reflection (i.e. reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action). Furthermore, the research also suggests that teaching and learning activity through the use of mobile technology facilitated deeper approach to learning. Evaluation through questionnaire showed that mobile phone technology has helped students augment their learning objectives. The research concluded that three of the six board theory based activity: Learning and teaching support activities, Constructivist activities and Behaviourist activities have been embedded through the use of mobile technology. The other three theory based activity i.e. Situated activities, Collaborative activities and Informal and lifelong activities could be considered for future work.
