Poster: evaluation of the skills for m-learning environments in higher education: Case study students of information technology of the autonomous university of Baja California Sur (UABCS)

Abstract

This research paper presents the results of a study that applied with a sample probability and random sample to students of technologies of the information of the Academic Department of Computational Systems (DASC, by its initials in Spanish) of the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur (UABCS, by its initials in Spanish) in order to analyze what is the level of skills for the use of m-learning environments, i.e., the set of knowledge that has managed to acquire the student without any difficulty for the use of m-learning environments. The study considered a methodological approach of descriptive quantitative, where were collected data on different aspects of the use of mobile devices. The development of research was a group of students at university level of Educational Programs (PE) of the DASC: Engineering in Development of Software (IDS, by its initials in Spanish), Engineering in Computational Technology (ITC, by its initials in Spanish), and Bachelor of computing (LC, by its initials in Spanish). Of the total number of students enrolled in the DASC (496) randomly selected a representative sample of 115 students. Factors related to the evaluation of mobile learning in higher education were classified into three main categories: basic operations, management of information and communication and collaboration.
