In this research, students’ sentiments and emotions embedded in their learning journals are analyzed to understand their attitudes to mobile-based lessons as they progress during an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) course. Sentiment Analysis (SA) was utilized to extract emotions and sentiment throughout students’ learning experience, as expressed in their weekly online learner journals. The sentiment scores were generated from four sentiment dictionaries with different scales. The findings suggest that overall, the students had a positive sentiment and emotions toward mobile learning, consisting of anticipation, trust, joy, and surprise. The strongest negative emotion was fear, which may be explained by anxiety surrounding communication in a foreign language.

Arabic Calligraphy

History has proven the development of Jawi calligraphy is in line with the development of Islam in the archipelago. It is the root of the nation’s identity that must be defended and maintained. As with other subjects, the challenge to learning Jawi calligraphy at this time is that the whole world including Malaysia is affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. Therefore, all learning activities are now geared towards teaching and learning from home (PdPR) as methods to ensure the continuity of education. Therefore, it is very important that Jawi calligraphy is given a new breath in teaching and learning. This research article will discuss the mobile learning approach (M-Learning) for Jawi calligraphy. Important elements discussed include the application development process according to the needs of teaching and learning activities. The features of the application that contribute to the improvement of students’ learning experience as well as the results of tests performed on students are also stated. The success of this M-Learning application for learning Jawi calligraphy will certainly be able to be further expanded to the learning of other subjects in various fields.

Per Se

This introductory chapter focuses not so much on mobile learning technologies per se, but rather on a theoretical foundation and its pragmatic application to designing learning activities with mobile technologies. It sets out three learning spaces that are explicitly considered in the book: individual, collaborative, and situated learning. On these differing learning spaces, we begin by proposing the essential factors in effective mobile learning experience design that should be addressed by different features or functions of the relevant learning activities. In turn, derived is a conceptual framework to provide systematic support for mobile learning expererience design. This chapter concludes by surveying the mobile learning systems included in this book, reviewing their differing learning activities within context of the framework. We hope that this analysis will help to expose the key qualities and features that can support the future development of increasingly effective mobile learning applications.

Teaching Learning

Mobile learning has recently emerged as a powerful and frequently used tool in the teaching-learning curriculum. Besides, it also attracted the attention of EFL teachers and learners across the globe. Its acceptance in EFL learning is mainly because of the two fundamental functions, i.e., anytime and anywhere. As a result, the pioneers and scholars who work in second or foreign language learning have largely recognized its impact and importance. Furthermore, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the regular traditional classes have been severely affected, and teaching has been carried out by online method. As a result, mobiles and tablets have primarily been used along with other electronic gadgets. Therefore, this paper aims to examine EFL learners' perceptions about m-learning for their learning activities during COVID-19 at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire has been prepared by keeping the use of the mobile device in view that can benefit Saudi EFL learners, and distributed among 50 EFL male and female students. Later, a quantitative analysis of the responses has been done by using SPSS 26. The study identified healthy and positive perceptions of m-learning. The significant findings will be valuable for the teachers and administrators concerning m-learning in language teaching.

Recent research has identified excessive device focus as a serious problem in collaborative mobile learning as it undermines key ideas of learners engaging with their co-learners in context-rich authentic settings. Various recommendations have been formulated to address device focus in the design of mobile learning technology and pedagogy and foster students’ engagement with both their peers and their environment. This paper describes how some of these recommendations have been implemented and extended in the design of Invisible Buildings, a mobile collaborative game-based activity for schoolchildren. It reports the results of an empirical evaluation of the learning experience with primary school children, focusing on students’ engagement with their social and physical context during learning activities, and providing insights into their behaviour and strategies with respect to device sharing. Findings broadly confirm the effectiveness of the implemented measures and show good student acceptance of the tools employed and the overall learning experience.

In 2018, Indonesia implemented a Governor's Election which included 17 provinces. For several months before the Election, news and opinions regarding the Governor's Election were often trending topics on Twitter. This study aims to describe the results of sentiment mining and determine the best method for predicting sentiment classes. Sentiment mining is based on Lexicon. While the methods used for sentiment analysis are Naive Bayes and C5.0. The results showed that the percentage of positive sentiment in 17 provinces was greater than the negative and neutral sentiments. In addition, method C5.0 produces a better prediction than Naive Bayes.

Students Attitudes

Our study aims to identify students’ attitudes towards the use of mobile technologies (MT) during learning activities in higher education. Data were collected using the Mobile Technologies Questionnaire/MTQ, a ten-item brief questionnaire that was designed to determine attitudes towards the use of mobile technologies in the learning process among university students and academic staff. The MTQ was completed by 575 students from a state university in the northeastern region of Romania. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed two latent factors: MT facilities for study resources and communication and MT facilities for learning. Along with general analysis of the statistical indicators regarding the attitude towards the use of MT, the relationships between the use of MT and five socio-demographic variables (gender, age, place of residence, year of study, academic status and study program) were analyzed. Comparative data showed some statistically significant differences but with small or modest effect sizes, depending on age, year of study, place of residence, academic status and the study program in which the students were enrolled. This study provides additional support for the construct validity of a brief tool that was designed to measure students’ attitudes towards the use of MT during learning activities carried out in higher education.

Attitudes Toward Chemistry

The objective of this research was to investigate the level of students' attitudes toward Chemistry and Learning Experience (ATCLE). The research sample included 191 students (61 male and 130 female) from three universities; Universitas Negeri Mataram, Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram, and IK1P Mataram, Indonesia. The sample has been selected through cluster random sampling and snowballs random sampling. Mixed method research with a descriptive correlational survey model and a semi-structured interview was employed for the study. The data were collected by Chemistry Attitudes and Experiences Questionnaire (CAEQ) and an interview guide. Results showed no significant correlation in the level of attitude toward chemistry based on gender and grades. The finding also revealed that the attitude of pre-service chemistry teachers based on gender and grade were more positive towards research in chemistry than jobs related to chemistry. However, grades influenced the students learning experience, but there was no influence of gender on students learning experience. It is suggested that teachers need to develop a positive attitude toward chemistry and learning experiences of the students through inquiry-based learning practices.
