Integrating Mobile Learning: Readiness of Male and Female Secondary School Teachers in Baltistan Region

Abstract

Mobile learning has become a useful tool in the teaching-learning process due to its unique features. M-learning is considered to be the latest form of education and is one of the most emerging fields. This study aims to investigate the readiness for mobile learning integration among Baltistan Regions teachers by their gender. In order to investigate teachers’ readiness toward mobile learning, the Mobile Learning Readiness Survey (MLRS) developed by Christensen and Knezek (2017) was utilized. The results of this study showed Secondary School teachers’ mobile learning readiness was high in general. The result found no difference between male and female teachers on their readiness for Mobile Learning. The study also recommends the policy makers that the teachers be given sufficient training on how to use mobile learning into teaching and learning processes to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills in integrating the technology in classrooms
