Abstract: This study investigates the Information Technology (IT) undergraduate students’ readiness levels about mobile learning in terms of age, gender and class levels based on the self-efficacy, optimism, and self-directed learning sub-dimensions in Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU). This study was designed using Quantitative research and Survey method which had a Mobile Learning Readiness (MLR) Scale that was used for data collection tool. The study (research) group of this research comprised of 201 registered bachelor students enlisted in the IT department at EMU in Fall 2018-2019 semester. All data collected was analysed using descriptive analysis techniques. Frequency (f), percentage (%), arithmetic mean (X), T-test and One-Way ANOVA was used for analysing the data. The findings showed strong indications that majority of the IT students demonstrated significantly high levels of readiness for mobile learning and there were no critical contrasts amidst mobile learning readiness as indicated by age and gender orientation. However, a significant difference exists between mobile learning readiness according to class levels of the students, which indicates that a relationship exists between IT students class levels and mobile learning readiness with the 4 th year IT students showing high levels of readiness for mobile learning while the 2nd year IT students showed the least level of readiness for mobile learning. Keywords: readiness, mobile learning readiness, self-efficacy, optimism, self-directed learning.
