| Description |
The purpose of this paper is to determine the current status of mobile deviceusage and mobile learning adoption in vocational education and training (VET)secondary schools in three European Union countries (Austria, the Czech Republic,and Germany). The research focused on exploring students’ mobile device usagehabits, their attitudes toward education in the context of mobile applicationsupport, and preferences regarding mobile learning features. The researchconfirmed a high level of mobile device usage among secondary school studentson a daily basis; smartphones and laptops were the most commonly used devices.The vast majority of participants perceived themselves to be advanced mobiledevice users, but reported a deficit of ICT-assisted mobile learning experience.However, the majority of respondents with prior ICT-assisted educationexperience described it as a positive or very positive experience. In addition,study participants tended to agree that mobile learning will play a significantrole in education in the future. The paper also explored the reported differencesamong the students in the three countries and suggested several implications forunderstanding students’ views of mobile learning. The findings provide insightsinto possibilities of m-learning implementation while creating a framework form-learning application development in the VET secondary school environment.
