Abstract
AbstractThis article provides a systematic review of mobile learning frameworks that address issues of pedagogy published between 2011 and 2022. The objective of the review was to gain a clear picture of recent developments in mobile learning frameworks to provide an understanding of current directions in mobile learning pedagogy. Eighteen peer‐reviewed journal articles that presented new mobile learning pedagogical frameworks were examined and evaluated based on the characteristics of each framework. The two main areas of analysis were the pedagogical approaches integrated into the frameworks and their definitions of mobile learning. We conclude that mobile learning frameworks have become more diverse over time, in many cases tending to focus on specific aspects of mobile learning rather than attempting to address overarching concepts. With respect to pedagogies and their underlying theories of learning, social constructivism, heutagogy, collaborative learning, experiential learning, inquiry‐based learning, and student‐centred learning were mentioned most frequently. However, although many frameworks make reference to pedagogy, there is limited analysis of how mobile learning pedagogy might be defined as distinct from other contexts of learning. The key characteristics of mobile learning, consistent through most of the reviewed frameworks, comprise the portability of mobile devices across multiple contexts, connectivity, and accessibility, as well as learner‐centredness (including personalisation and self‐regulation). One key aspect of identifying the uniqueness and future potential of mobile learning is the special affordances addressed by mobile learning theory. We conclude that this is an area where further research is required.
