The Crux of Mobile Learning: Key Aspects in Teaching With Mobile Devices

Abstract

This work aims to analyze and validate the didactic elements to implement mobile learning in education and to provide teachers with specific actions to consider in the process of designing, implementing and evaluating mobile devices in their classroom. The research was designed according to Design-Based Research in which has allowed us to sequence the process from phases: this article presents the first phase of the validation process of the didactic elements of mobile learning selected from the literature review, systematic review and based on expert judgement evaluation. The findings derive a seven-category cluster: academic knowledge of the content; methodological strategies; activities; evaluation; mobile resources; technological learning spaces and teachers. The main results could be useful so they can later be applied by the teachers on didactic mobile learning design in their classrooms.
