| Popis: | Mobile devices (MD) are increasingly becoming tools that transcend the playful-communicative function to grow into elements for classroom learning. The benefits of the mobile learning to teaching and learning processes are varied and relevant, but not in all stages of education are they having the same depth and the same perception by students. With this study we intend to delve into the data described by Garcia-Riaza and Iglesias-Rodriguez [3] to learn in detail about the level of inclusion of mobile devices in university classrooms, as well as the perception of students in the final year of Degree and Master programs in education on these devices and their future use as professionals. To this end, we selected a sample of students from the University of Salamanca to collect data through a questionnaire. These data have been analyzed following a quantitative methodology, a non-experimental method of descriptive type. The data obtained are proof of the positive perception of students towards the MD, of their interest and willingness in managing them in the academic and professional contexts, but also the intuitive component of its actual use and lack of training in the use thereof. With this information, our prospective work is now focused on promoting a greater presence of these devices in university classrooms, as well as increasing the training in the educational use of them. |
