Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions of teachers and headteachers about the successful factors of mobile learning implementation in schools to enrich the use of mobile. The study involved 16 teachers and two headteachers in questionnaires from two mixed private schools. The interviews were conducted with 7 teachers and two headteachers. The results revealed that mobile learning enhances students’ learning, improves communication between teachers and students and offers authentic and situated learning. The results also revealed that supporting mobile learning projects financially, setting social contract between teachers and students and creating collaborative teachers’ groups to share their experiences with mobile learning employment can contribute for the successful implementation of mobile learning. The study recommends providing financial and technical support for mobile learning and training teachers technically and pedagogically in employing mobile technologies in their classrooms.
