The objective of this study is to explore the effects of mobile phone use on vocational high school students' classroom behavior and teachers’ classroom management. The study utilized a mixed method, intergrated questionnaire survey with qualitative semi-structured interviews. The samples were collected from 300 students in a vocational high school in the south of Taiwan. The valid returns were 263 and the valid return rate was 88%. First, the questionnaires were analyzed by using reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis to eliminate the data unsuited for this study. Next, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, perarson’s product-moment correlation, and simultaneous multiple regression analysis were applied for data analysis. To investigate how mobile phone use behavior affects vocational high school students' classroom behavior, three teachers were also invited to participate in qualitative semi-structured interviews. The result showed that “mobile phone learning behavior” and “normal behavior” of mobile phone use behavior have significant influences on students’ “learning attitude” and “learning behavior”. In addition, the result of qualitative analysis showed that when students are having positive mobile phone use behaviors during classes, their “learning attitude” and “learning behavior” became more positive as well. Finally, according to the results, the study provides suggestions for educators, parants, government educational units, and future research.
