ABSTRACT
The increasing growth of mobile technology in our Society has become a reality. This paper was designed to research about the different factors and drivers that could influence students’ behaviour into the usage of mobile technologies for learning. The methodology was based on a quantitative survey grounded on the Technology Acceptance Model and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Data were collected from medical students in University of Coimbra. This model pointed to a behaviour pattern based on the experience and application by medical students, correlating with a strong attitude towards using mobile technology for learning (57%) and willingness to recommend it (40.5%). In line with previous studies, Social Influence raised to be an important factor towards the Attitude and Behavioural Intention of using Mobile Learning. In addition, according to the results, the student’s ease of perception seems to be the main factor affecting the Social Influence (31.9%) and the reliability for recommending this technology for learning was the main factor that affected the Behavioural Intention. Findings provide support for Technology Acceptance Model and the implications of these findings are discussed within the context of Innovation in Education.
INTRODUCTION
During the last decade, the number of mobile lines in the world has been increased significantly. In fact, according to the last reportof International Telecommunications Unit (ITU, 2015) there were more than 7.000 million users in the world with a mobile line by end 2015. In Europe, ITU estimates the mobile users penetration around 125% and the Internet rate will reach 75% by end 2014. These figures show the importance that these new technologies have in the Society. This trend has affected different sectors as Education, Medicine, and Communication. The way people interact among them and the way they have to communicate each other have evolved completely, incorporating the mobile gadgets and the mobile technologies as part of them. Due to this reasons, there have been some researches about the inquiries and the use of mobile technologies in education and learning (Briz-Ponce, Juanes-Mendez, & García-Penalvo, 2014a; ~ Huang, Lin, & Chuang, 2007; Tsinakos & Ally, 2013).
