An Empirical Research on The Use of Mobile Phones to Support Students’ Mathematics Learning

Abstract

This paper presents some empirical findings on the use of mobile phones to support students’ mathematics learning in some Vietnamese schools, specifically for facilitating students to self-study. An empirical research was carried out aimed at investigating the mobile phone as a learning tool in the mathematics classrooms. It also probes how the attributes, abilities and functionality of the mobile phones can be successfully applied to and used in educational settings. The research shows that mobile web-based content provides students with opportunity to learn at their own pace and preferences as well as to guide them self-study at home.
