Family Wellbeing

Instant messaging (IM) is increasingly used for family communication amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. However, evidence remains scarce on how family e-chat groups were used and their associations with family and individual wellbeing amidst the pandemic. The numbers of family e-chat groups, functions used, and messages sent and received daily in groups were reported by 4890 adults in May 2020, and their associations with family wellbeing and personal happiness and the mediation effect of family communication quality were examined. Results showed that sending/receiving text messages was most commonly used, followed by receiving/sending photos/pictures, making voice calls, receiving/sending short videos and voice messages, and making video calls. Women and older people used more non-text functions. Higher levels of family wellbeing and personal happiness were associated with having more groups, receiving/sending photos/pictures, video calls, more IM functions used, and more IM messages received/sent daily. Forty-six point two to seventy-five point five percent of their associations with more groups and more functions used were mediated by family communication quality. People having more family e-chat groups and using more IM functions may be more resilient amidst the pandemic, while those without or with low use of family e-chat groups amidst the pandemic would need more attention and assistance in the presence of social distancing.

Advanced mobile devices and global internet services have enhanced the usage of smartphones in the education sector and their potential for fulfilling teaching and learning objectives. The current study is an attempt to assess the factors affecting mobile learning acceptance by Saudi university students. A theoretical model of mobile learning acceptance was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. Theoretically, five independent constructs were identified as most contributory towards the use of mobile learning and tested empirically. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results of the study indicate that four constructs were significantly associated with mobile learning acceptance: perceived usefulness (β = 0.085, t = 2.201, and p = 0.028), perceived ease of use (β = 0.031, t = 1.688, and p = 0.013), attitude (β = 0.100, t = 3.771, and p = 0.037), and facilitating conditions (β = 0.765, t = 4.319, and p = 0.001). On the other hand, social influence was insignificant (β = −0.061, t = 0.136, and p = 0.256) for mobile learning acceptance. The contribution of social influence towards the use of mobile learning was negative and insignificant; hence, it was neglected. Thus, finally, four constructs (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and facilitating conditions) were considered as important determinants of mobile learning acceptance by university students.

This study is motivated by the initiative to implement mobile learning to promote world heritage site awareness among young adults living in the world heritage town of Luang Prabang in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR). Mobile learning is still in its infant stage in Laos. The objective of this study is to investigate the drivers of mobile learning acceptance among young adults in Luang Prabang. Structural equation modeling analysis based on 349 students of higher education indicates that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived enjoyment directly affected their behavioral intention to use mobile learning. Social influence and self-efficacy indirectly affected mobile learning acceptance through perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use respectively. Findings from this study yield insights for policy recommendations for mobile learning implementation in Luang Prabang, and also contribute to the understanding of mobile learning acceptance from the perspectives of a least developed country.

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world like a tornado, caught unprepared of the Chinese higher education system to adapt to widespread unexpected disruption. It forced university students transfer to mobile learning during epidemic disease period, but students' learning efficiency had become a concern for teachers who were used to face-to-face pedagogy. This study applied mixed methods. Qualitative phase interviewed 12 freshmen with e-mail, then constructed a model by thematic analysis that ultimately affects mobile learning efficiency. Quantitative phase survived 367 freshmen by questionnaire and test previous model. The result of path analysis in quantitative phase indicated that individual factors and technological factors positively affect mobile learning acceptance, mobile learning acceptance positively affect mobile learning efficiency. The contributions of this study have strong implications for universities whom conducting mobile learning in other regions, that were still in the midst of the epidemic.

Quasi Experiment

The education system is faced with a situation that requires teachers to be able to master distance learning media, such as during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The distance education system is one of the solutions to overcome difficulties in face-to-face learning with the existence of social distancing rules which are a major obstacle today. Mobile Learning ( M-Learning) is a distyance paradigm utilizing mobile technology and devices which are predicted to experience rapid and potential development along with the development of mobile technologiitself. M-Learning is a distance leaning medium that is easy and often used. This study aims to see the effectiveness of derivative learning using M-Learning media in terms of student learning outcomes. The research model used in this study was a quasi experiment using a one group pretest postest design. The research sample was students in semester 2 who took calculus courses. The sample data were processed by descriptive analysis and test the difference in the average learning outcomes. The results showed that calculus courses with derivative materials using M-Learning media were quite effective when viewed from the student learning outcomes. Student learning outcomes after lecturing using M-Learning are higher than student learning outcomes before lecturing using M-Learning.

Controversial Topic

<p>Mobile technology for learning empowers the shift from traditionally pure instructor-centered classroom teaching to fully learner-centered educational settings. Although mobile learning (m-learning) accessing Internet resources anytime and anywhere, the issue of the relationship between gender perspectives and m-learning environments has been a controversial topic. Therefore, the main research objective of the research is to explore gender differences toward APP-based m-learning environments. Subjects of the study were selected university students who had already used an APP-based m-learning system for one month. A total of one hundred fifty nine valid questionnaires were collected, spilt evenly between female and male students. The statistical analyses lead to significant conclusions. Both female and male learners have highly positive perceptions toward m-learning. Additionally, the proposed research model is an acceptable conceptual model for investigating female and male learners’ attitudes. Furthermore, factors of personal attitudes and learning environments affect gender difference toward m-learning acceptance. </p>
