Enabling Quality Education in Namibia Through Mobile Learning Technologies.
Mobile devices have undergone transformation from being used as a channel of communication to tools for teaching and learning. This study ascertained how mobile learning technology can enable quality education in Namibia. It assessed teachers’ perception and the usage pattern of mobile technology in three regions of Namibia (Erongo, Khomas and Otjozondjupa regions). 72 teachers were carefully selected from nine (9) high schools in the 3 regions. Data collected through a questionnaire was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that teachers are already using mobile devices for academic purposes. It also revealed that majority of the teachers use mobile devices for educational purposes and teachers are of the belief that mobile devices can enhance quality education.
