Abstract

In developing countries, where most people have cell phones (even when they don't have reliable electricity or internet service), e-learning and m-learning offer great opportunities for educating a vast populace, particularly in rural communities. This article presents an analysis of primary data from over one thousand secondary school students in Indonesia, the fourth most populated nation in the world, to determine how they are using e-learning and m-learning and how device ownership influences that. The findings from the logistic regression models show that mobile devices are more important than traditional PCs in promoting e-learning, while tablets are better than smartphones for promoting m-learning. Having access to free wi-fi is equally important. Students who prefer m-learning on mobile devices over traditional e-learning activities on PCs tend to be more active and collaborative learners. These findings can help inform policy makers in improving the educational attainment in Indonesia and other developing countries.
设备所有权和基础设施在促进印度尼西亚电子学习和移动学习中的作用
在发展中国家,大多数人都有手机(即使他们没有可靠的电力或互联网服务),电子学习和移动学习为广大民众提供了良好的教育机会,特别是在农村社区。本文分析了印度尼西亚(世界上人口第四多的国家)一千多名中学生的主要数据,以确定他们如何使用电子学习和移动学习,以及设备所有权如何影响这一点。逻辑回归模型的结果表明,移动设备在促进电子学习方面比传统pc更重要,而平板电脑在促进移动学习方面比智能手机更好。能够使用免费wi-fi同样重要。比起在pc上进行传统的电子学习活动,更喜欢在移动设备上进行移动学习的学生往往是更积极和合作的学习者。这些发现可以帮助决策者在提高印度尼西亚和其他发展中国家的受教育程度方面提供信息。

期刊介绍: The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
