A Proposed Framework for the use of Mobile Learning in Enhancing Working Skills.

Abstract

There is surprisingly little systematic knowledge available about how mobile devices can be used effectively for learning especially in the field of work-based education and workplace learning. This rather broad scope refers to the dynamic nature of work-based education that includes education in informal learning contexts. Similarly, it bridges workplace learning perspectives and those that frame work-based learning as a series of formal and informal educational programs.

The use of mlearning to support student education has become necessary in light of the circumstances associated with the covid-19 pandemic, which takes place in all the universities and the worldwide. This method of education has become one of the necessary ways to avoid the risks of direct mixing between students while ensuring the application of a successful m-learning strategy. It was found that the application of using mlearning faces many problems, the most important of which are the students’ lack of interaction with their teacher directly and the difficulty of training students on many cognitive skills that need direct communication with the lecturer. Through the study, the factors affecting the educational process were analyzed by using mlearning to support computer science education.

The study includes a research on how to professionally practice mobile learning systems, especially those that aim at the user's access to ideas and information that are useful in developing his ways of working. It has been noted that through the various levels of education, there is the fact that creativity, innovation and changing concepts are now acquired according to the extent to which the services available through mobile learning are utilized; However, the wide range of available information enables the user to reasonably access the information he needs to support his ideas.

By employing the independent two samples t-test to test the research hypotheses, the research results were obtained and some recommendations were obtained based on the research results.

Where the study investigated the efficiency of the mobile education provided to students for computer subjects for students of the final (fourth) grade, and to test the effect of these factors, the students were divided into two groups, each group consisting of 50 students, each of whom was randomly selected, whether it was a control sample or an experimental sample.
