The effects of using mobile technologies and ICT to students’ attitudes and achievement.

Abstract

This study examines how enhanced media-devices is used in classrooms in Kazakh schools from the perspective of students, teachers, and decision makers. Based on four fundamental research questions, the goal is to analyze the level and impact of mobile technologies on pedagogy and students' perceptions of mobile technologies use in the classroom. Although some schools are afraid to introduce too much enhanced media-devices into their practice, this study aims to prove that introducing mobile technologies into the teaching and learning process is extremely valuable. Despite some innovations in pedagogical strategy, including notable advances in the use of mobile technologies, most secondary schools still have a long way to go as schools around the world still have an old, teacher-oriented paradigm, as opposed to more modern, student-centered approaches. These results indicate that the use of mobile technologies elicit positive responses from students both in terms of how they perceive the mobile activities and how it improved their performance.
