Imminent Prospects of Mobile Mediated Learning Interaction in Traditional Classroom: A Survey 2013-19

Abstract

Phenomenal growth in mobile technology with affordability has created a pervasive device extension associated with students. This is blended with both desired and distracting components. These significant ramifications of rise in mobile device usage motivates to focus the study to evaluate the ongoing research activity pertinent to the pedagogical inclusion of mobile devices in classroom interaction. This study represents the review of refereed articles about mobile device utility in classroom interaction during the year 2013-19. The research articles selected for assessment confined in the areas of interaction design, the usefulness of mobile devices in the traditional education system, adaptive web-based educational systems and potential distraction of the devices. Most of the works tried to emphasis the positive response about the context-dependent use of mobile devices' integration in the classroom. On the contrary significant claims on the interference of portable devices and causal effects have also been highlighted by many researchers. The quantitative and qualitative findings of the survey help in identifying the outright spaces and regulated use of mobile devices in face to face classroom interaction. This will also help in designing active research informative interaction with an imminent effect to enhance device mediated classroom learning.
