 In the article on the basis of the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and network sources the content of the concepts of "mobile learning", "mobile technologies", "mobile learning technologies" is investigated. So by the concept of mobile learning (m-learning) in the WFD we mean a form of e-learning using the personal mobile devices of students, learning in different contexts - through social and meaningful interaction, using the learning technologies of mobile devices at a convenient time for students. The experience of introducing mobile technologies (m-learning) into the school's educational process is generalized. The article highlights the pedagogical conditions, didactic functions and principles of mobile learning in the HLS. The main aspects of the introduction of mobile learning in the HLS are the use of mobile technology, that is, when a technology tool mediates schoolchildren and knowledge as an extension of e-learning and is one of the possible areas of blended learning, this is learner-centered learning. The peculiarities of the introduction of mobile education in general secondary education institutions are identified, the advantages of the use of mobile learning in the educational space of the WSS are outlined. With the introduction of mobile learning, the educational process adapts to the environment, becoming compact, focused and interactive. In mobile learning, it is important that the information is delivered in small portions, as clearly as possible to the situation and, at the same time, that the process of interaction with the product is satisfying. Accordingly, users' habits are changing: students increasingly want the learning process to be simple, effective and fun. They use mobile devices to communicate with participants in the educational process, providing a new level of communication and learning management. For teachers, the advantage of using mobile learning is the ability to ask students in response to the task, and parents to monitor the progress of children through obtaining relevant information from school.Keywords: mobile learning, e-learning, learning principles, information and communication technologies.

Statement of the problem. In the context of digitalization of education, the main prerequisite is creation of a digital educational environment that opens up new opportunities: learning at any convenient time, continuous education, the ability to design individual educational routes, transfer from digital resource consumers to digital resource creators. Various digital educational resources, distance learning platforms, cloud technologies, and the use of mobile devices help realize these opportunities. The pedagogical community is developing modern formats to introduce mobile devices into the educational process. Mobile technologies arouse students’ increased motivation and interest in learning, help expand the horizons of knowledge acquisition and build an individual learning roadmap – all this leads to the improved quality of education. Today we see the need to introduce mobile technologies into the educational process and at the same time we see insufficient knowledge about the didactic potential of using mobile devices and services in the learning process, as well as issues of training personnel for organizing mobile learning for schoolchildren. The purpose of the article is to determine the content and structure of future mathematics teachers’ preparedness to organize mobile learning for schoolchildren. Methodology (materials and methods) includes analysis and synthesis of the works of Russian and foreign researchers on the problem under study, as well as the experience of training teachers in the field of information and communication technologies. Research results. An essential prerequisite for the performance effectiveness is the person’s preparedness for its implementation. In this study, we examined the preparedness of future mathematics teachers to organize schoolchildren’s mobile learning as a personality education that has a systemic, complex structure and acts as a set of motivational, personal, theoretical, activity-related and reflective components. In the structure of the activity component, we identified three levels of preparedness of future mathematics teachers to organize schoolchildren’s mobile learning (basic, creative, and professional). Conclusion. The maturity of these components helps future teachers of mathematics to organize schoolchildren’ mobile learning in line with the requirements of modern education, thereby preparing the younger generation for study, life, and work in a dynamically changing world.

The article is devoted to innovative postmodern requests for the liberalization of education. Postmodernism influenced education not only methodologically, but also by changing the very pedagogical culture of teaching. Now the relevance of the research topic is due to the problems of forming information content and methodological support for the introduction of distance learning technology in mobile form. The introduction of IT in education, the improvement of smart devices, the formation of an electronic information and educational environment have created the basis for such forms of education as mobile learning and blended learning. In both cases, the student situationally himself forms the educational process, turns from an object of training into its subject. The humanistic potential of mobile learning in the sense of ensuring equal access to education for people with different abilities is noted. The opinion is expressed about the importance of student motivation and IT competence of teachers to provide information content, intensify the introduction of e-learning and mobile-oriented learning technologies. It is argued that learning based only on mobile learning technology, using smart devices without classroom or office work, real communication with the teacher is not didactically self-sufficient, which would provide adequate language skills. Effectiveness in learning foreign languages is achieved by synergy of technologies distance mobile and traditional classroom or classroom training, real communication with the teacher.

<p class="0abstract">The higher education system around the world is being rapidly developed towards digitalization – from computers to laptops, from laptops to tablets and smartphones. Accordingly, traditional delivery of instruction is being shifted towards blended learning that is being gradually replaced with distance learning, i.e. higher education is moving forward with mobile learning (m-learning) technologies. The introduction of mobile learning became the most topical event in 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to which many countries had to completely move to distance learning in higher education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the prospects for the widespread use of mobile applications in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Russia to Russian and Arab learners. In the course of the study, an online survey based on a questionnaire consisting of four open and closed questions was conducted. An empirical method was applied to collect the research data.  The survey was conducted at the Department of Foreign Languages of the Engineering Academy of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (EA PFUR). The total research sample included 200 participants and consisted of: 50 potential employers, 50 Russian and Arab students of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia studying Linguistics (training program code 035700), 50 faculty members, namely teachers of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Moscow State Pedagogical University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, as well as 50 administrative staff of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. The purpose of the survey was to collect information about the use of mobile applications (Smartphone Apps) and the introduction of mobile learning technology (m-learning) in the process of teaching EFL to students. According to the results of the survey, instructors are actively using mobile technologies in their professional activities and all participants in the learning process are receptive to their introduction in education. At the same time, respondents believe that technical challenges are the major obstacle to the adoption of mobile applications; these problems must be overcome in order to enable more productive use of mobile applications. In this regard, the study of mobile applications that are suitable for specific aspects of learning a foreign language, such as spoken language, reading comprehension, listening or writing, can be considered a promising research area.</p>

Mobile Learning Technology

Despite the fact that portability was perceived as one of the major benefits of podcasting as a teaching and learning tool, little evidence has been found of users taking advantage of this feature for academic use. This paper reports on a major study (1886 responses) of iTunes U users. The analysis compares the responses of those participants who use static devices to play the materials they download with those of users who utilise mobile devices. The results show that more users play iTunes U materials from mobile devices than static devices. Users share some similarities in their use of podcasts but some marked differences as well, in contrast with previous research. The author argues that different perceptions and practices are based on whether the users are formal or informal learners and discuss the implications for the use of podcasting as a mobile learning technology.
