BERWANGER, Perla Maria  and  BOTTENTUIT JUNIOR, João Batista. MOBILE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: cartography based on professors 'perceptions. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.spe, pp.59-73.  Epub Jan 20, 2021. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2020.44533.

This research addresses whether or not there is the use of mobile digital technologies in teaching-learning processes in the context of a bachelor’s business administration course at the Federal University of Maranhão, Brazil. It aims at examining the use of smartphones, as well as at exploring professors' and students’ motivations for the use of digital applications. This exploratory-descriptive research adopted a mixed-method approach, using both qualitative and quantitative data, namely through research diaries, observation notes, and open and closed questions questionnaires applied with 61 students. Findings point out to the fact that the individuals analyzed do not recur to smartphones or digital applications as a crucial didactic-pedagogical source in the classroom.

Keywords : mobile learning; smartphone; applications; learning assessment; higher education.
