Paper Details

The aim of this study is to reveal the attitudes of secondary students towards mobile learning. The study group of the research consisted of 120 students studying at various school in West Bengal and voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study. The study was created in a qualitative design. In this study, a semi-structured data collection tool developed by the researchers was used in order not to determine the mobile learning attitudes of the students. Students' attitudes towards mobile learning were evaluated based on the item analysis method. The result reveals that secondary students, both male and female, generally have a positive attitude toward mobile learning, appreciating its ability to make studying more interesting and potentially better than traditional face-to-face methods. Female students, in particular, show higher agreement on its effectiveness and regular usage of educational apps. However, cost is perceived as a greater barrier by females, and accessibility is viewed more positively by male students. These findings suggest that while mobile learning is welcomed by students, challenges related to cost, consistent use, and perceived accessibility remain.
