Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate perceptions of primary education teachers towards mobile learning (m-learning) in the classroom. This is a qualitative research carried out with a sample of 16 participants, 8 in Greece and 8 in Latvia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to teachers who express their opinions on whether they could enhance m-learning environment and whether mobile devices could be an effective tool for students' learning, interaction and communication. From the analysis of the data, the majority of the teachers in both countries had a positive attitude about m-learning and they had the intention to use these devices in the future. According to their view, such technology could increase students' motivation on learning and as more new applications appear, the educational process can become more attractive and productive. Only few were those teachers who doubt about its efficiency for some reasons. These differences in teachers' opinions were related to the age factor.
