MOBILE LEARNING: A CASE STUDY IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY
Abstract
The use of mobile devices is increasing every day and they are quickly becoming an indispensable tool for everyone. In today's environment, mobile devices have the potential to give valuable contribution in different areas, and one of them is learning and teaching. The purpose of this article is to study the support that mobile devices can give especially during laboratory works. In order to study and prove the usefulness of these devices in such environment, we have implemented an application that integrates a mobile android app and a web application, to support students and also teachers during and after the experiments. We tested the application during a Physical Chemistry laboratory work and asked students and teachers through a questionnaire about their opinion in regard of the usefulness of the tested application and the potential to use it with all laboratory works and even in other learning and teaching fields. At the end, we present and study the results of this questionnaire.
