Pre-service Elementary Teachers’ Attitudes Toward the Use of Mobile Learning in Elementary Science Education

The present study aimed to examine the pre-service elementary teachers’ attitudes in Morocco toward integrating mobile learning in science education. Convenience sampling was the method used to select the research sample. Data collected through a 15-item questionnaire was distributed to 340 pre-service teachers of the Bachelor of Education Elementary Specialty (BEES). The data were analyzed with statistical techniques including mean scores and Mann-Whitney tests. The results indicated that the pre-service teachers had positive attitudes toward the use of mobile learning in science education and that these attitudes were not dependent on the teachers’ gender, educational level, or pre-university academic background. The results also show that Moroccan pre-service elementary teachers would feel uncertain about the ability of their future children to use mobile devices in science learning.
