Abstract
The usage of mobile devices is increasing in frequency and scope. The percentage of students who use smartphones is quite high, in particular among those attending institutions of higher education. Like they would with any other technology, educators are doing research on the efficacy of using smartphones in the classroom. Studies have been conducted on the efficacy of using smartphones in face-to-face education as well as in the process of distant education, which has grown more common as a direct result of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to do a meta-analysis of the data from previous experimental studies that looked at how well smartphones have been used over the past five years. The total effect size that has been calculated is 3.73. Since p = 0.05, this effect's size is statistically important. This finding has a big effect, as can be seen. For each study, an effect size calculation was done based on Hedges' g. The size of the effect is between -8 and 25.70.
