Abstract |
This study aims to measure the extent of acceptance by students of the Northern Borders University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to learn using a mobile phone, with the development taking place in information technology, the broad and rapid spread of mobile internet, and the contribution of mobile in distance learning. A sample approved the UTAUT model of 350 male and female students from the University of Northern Borders who answered a questionnaire prepared to test 15 hypotheses based on the UTAUT model. The results of this study indicated that there was a positive and moral effect of both expected performances, expected effort, social dimension, and enjoyment during education on behavioural intention, and negative effect of self-learning on behavioural intention contrary to what expected. Moreover, the effects of the social and fun dimension perceived on the behavioural intention were noticeable, but no gender and age differences were found. The small screen and the difficulty of the mobile keyboard are among the biggest obstacles that prevent the development of mobile phone learning. The use of a mobile phone to learn under certain conditions such as quarantine is a new matter, which would improve the field of mobile phone learning in the future. |
