Over the last decade, there has been much interest in mobile technologies in teaching and learning as emerging and innovative tools. Despite this focus, mobile learning (m-Learning) implementation is facing many challenges. This study presents a tentative conceptual framework that consolidates existing research related to mobile learning implementation barriers. The study adopted a systematic review of the literature on challenges to mobile learning. A total of 125 papers published between 2007 and 2017 were extracted from established peer reviewed journals. A qualitative content analysis was used to define 24 barriers that have been grouped into four conceptual categories: Technological, Learner, Pedagogical and Facilitating Conditions. The proposed framework acts as guide for educators, systems developers, policy makers, researchers and stakeholders interested in implementing mobile learning programs.
Les systèmes éducatifs à l'échelle mondiale explorent le potentiel des Ressources Educatives Libres (REL). Cependant, l’adoption des REL reste limitée chez les enseignants. Cette étude exploratoire s’appuie sur le modèle pyramidal d’adoption des REL et a pour objectif de recueillir des renseignements de base sur le niveau de connaissance et d’utilisation des REL. Un questionnaire en ligne a été mis à la disposition de 1297 enseignants marocains. Les résultats révèlent une méconnaissance du concept de REL, des sources où l’on peut les trouver et des cadres d’octroi de licences et de droits d’auteurs chez la majorité des répondants. L’inclusion de l’adoption des REL dans les modules de formation des enseignants est fortement recommandée.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
