Factors Influencing Acceptance of Mobile Learning by Higher Education Students in Pakistan

High school students’ acceptance and use of mobile technology in learning mathematics

“…The research finding regarding the positive effect of HM on BI indicates that as the pleasure/joy students get from using mobile technology in learning mathematics increases, their intention to use these technologies also increases. This finding is consistent with the results of the studies in the literature (Arain et al 2018 , 2019 ; Moorthy et al 2019 ; Nikolopoulou et al 2020 ). On the other hand, in a study on factors influencing student acceptance of mobile learning in higher education, Fagan ( 2019 ) reported that HM has no significant effect on intention.…”

“…It can be said that when students perceive their knowledge, skills and resources as favorable to learn mathematics, their intention to use mobile technology to learn mathematics is also enhanced. Some previous research agrees with this finding, revealing a significant relationship between FC and BI (Arain et al 2018 ; Botero et al 2018 ; Escobar-Rodríguez et al 2014 ; Jairak et al 2009 ). On the other hand, there are studies that do not detect a significant predictive relationship between FC and BI (Alasmari and Zhang, 2019 ; Arain et al 2019 ; Moorthy et al 2019 ; Nikolopoulou et al 2020 ; Sultana 2020 ).…”

“…Similarly, in many studies, the positive effect of social influence on behavioral intention in the context of mobile learning has been reported (Abu-Al-Aish and Love 2013 ; Botero et al 2018 ; Cheng et al 2011 ; Jairak et al 2009 ; Moorthy et al 2019 ; Nikolopoulou et al 2020 ; Wang et al 2009 ). Contrary to these studies, there are studies which found no predictive relationship between SI and BI (Alasmari and Zhang 2019 ; Arain et al 2018 , 2019 ; Fagan 2019 ; Sultana 2020 ).…”

“…This result supports the results of the previous studies which reported that EE has a significant effect on BI (Abu-Al-Aish and Love 2013 ; Jairak et al 2009 ; Sultana 2020 ; Wang et al 2009 ). On the other hand, there are many studies in the literature that indicate that EE has no significant effect on BI (Alasmari and Zhang 2019 ; Arain et al 2018 , 2019 ; Botero et al 2018 ; Cheng et al 2011 ; Nikolopoulou et al 2020 ; Moorthy et al 2019 ). These conflicting results may be due to research participants’ skills and experiences of using mobile technologies in general or particularly in learning contexts.…”

“… Habit (H): It refers to the extent to which students tend to perform behaviors using mobile technology automatically in learning [mathematics] (Limayem et al 2007 ). There are research results showing that habit has a direct effect on behavioral intention within the context of mobile learning (Arain et al 2018 ; Moorthy et al 2019 ; Nikolopoulou et al 2020 ). Moreover, In the UTAUT2 model, it was determined that habit is a direct predictor of use behavior.…”
