Abstract

Mobile learning (m-learning) is becoming increasingly important in the 21st-century digital education landscape due to its potential to enhance interactivity and flexibility in teaching. This study aims to identify the level of mobile learning acceptance among educators and the influence of age and gender factors on mobile learning acceptance. The study employs quantitative survey research design and involves 133 educators in Perak Tengah. The findings show that mobile learning acceptance among educators is high, with a notable inclination among younger and female educators. Additionally, the study employs the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, which comprises constructs such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence (colleagues), personal innovativeness and quality of service were found to significantly influence educators’ behavioral intention to use mobile learning. The findings also indicated that age and gender are significantly related to mobile learning acceptance among educators. The study suggested that learning styles of educators related to age and gender must be incorporated in the development of mobile learning professional training particularly for educators. Such efforts would support a more rapid, effective and inclusive digital education strategies throughout the country.
