Mobile Education in Post-secondary Schools – Research Report

Abstract

Modern school, if it wants to be attractive to its pupils, cannot be indifferent to digital mobile media which are used on a daily basis by adolescents. Mobile technologies are devices that can be used independently of constant change of location using distant data communication by means of a wireless medium (radio waves frequency). Mobile education therefore is a wide range of possibilities provided by combination of mobile technologies and wireless networks that can also be used at school. Thanks to mobile devices it is easy to motivate pupils to sensible activity. Therefore a teacher should be aware that for each technology he should have an idea and also skill that may allow him to use particular technology in his didactic work. The main purpose of my research was to obtain and discuss answers on mobile education used at school. My own research tool was to verify teachers‟ opinions about their own level of preparation to applying mobile education (m-learning, mobile learning) in their schools. Results and conclusions are presented in the article.
