Use of Smartphones in Class: Examining the Relationship between M-Learning Readiness, Cyberloafing, Nomophobia and Addiction Variables
International Journal of Progressive Education, v16 n6 p94-120 2020
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pre-service preschool teachers' mobile-learning (m-learning) readiness, cyberloafing, nomophobia and smartphone addiction variables. The study was carried out using 306 pre-service preschool teachers undergoing education at state-run universities in two different cities in Turkey. The most critical conclusion of the study is that the smartphones used by pre-service preschool teachers both for m-learning and for cyberloafing in class have an impact on nomophobia and smartphone addiction. In the study, the effects of smartphone usage on both the learning environment and the individual were discussed in accordance with the proposed model. Suggestions for the use of smartphones were made in line with the study's conclusions.
