There is the pressure to produce graduates as well as professionals who are able to digitally compete on the global landscape due to the global adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (Haque & Islam, 2015). This has led to calls for in-depth research into the deployment of m-learning in the discipline to ensure the proper integration of the ever-evolving state of digital technology in its learning processes (Eloff, 2017; Roux, 2016; Staples, Collum, & McFry, 2016). It is based on the foregoing, that this study investigates the readiness of students in Nigeria to use m-learning for their accounting education
SDG4 which centres on quality education depends on the adoption of ICT driven learning methods such as m-learning and there is ample evidence to support the fact that students’ are ready to accept m-learning for accounting education in Nigeria
Summary
Quality education is listed as the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) by the United Nations (Amoo, 2018) and in view of the influence of Information Communication Technology (ICT) on education globally; Mobile Learning (M-learning) made possible by the convenience of mobile technology has a vital role to play in ensuring the sustainability of quality education in Nigeria. The developments of mobile technology with its merits made educators realize that it can be integrated with existing learning methods to proffer solutions to the challenge of combining the ever-evolving state of information technology with education. The portability, affordability and ease of access to information at anytime and anywhere made possible by mobile technology led to the development of mobile learning (m-learning) (Amiaya & Ranor, 2015; Stockley, 2011). This study, investigates the state of readiness of students for m-learning adoption in Nigeria which is critical to the achievement of quality and sustainable education, an SDG that is critical to the achievement of several other SDGs (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO], 2017)
