dc.description.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. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ:Bu çalışma Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesinde (DAÜ) Bilgisayar Teknolojileri Yüksek Okulu (BTYO) lisans öğrencilerinin yaş, cinsiyet ve sınıf seviyelerine göre mobil öğrenime hazır olma durumlarını, özyeterlilik, iyimserlik ve bağımsız öğrenim alt boyutunda incelemektedir. Bu çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak “mobil öğrenime hazırbulunuşluk ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Çalışma nicel bir çalışma olarak planlanmış ve tarama metodundan yararlanılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubu, 2018-2019 Güz döneminde DAÜ Bilgisayar Teknolojileri Yüksek Okulunda kayıtlı 201 lisans öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz teknikleri ve SPSS istatistik 22.0 yazılımı kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bilgileri incelerken frekans (f), Yüzde (%), aritmetik ortama (X), T-test ve ANOVA ile SPSS22 yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda yer alan Bilgisayar Teknolojileri Yüksek Okulu (BTYO) lisans öğrencilerinin çoğunluğunun belirgin bir şekilde mobil eğitime hazır oldukları ve yaş ve cinsiyet bakımından anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
