| dc.description.abstract | The study attempted to examine the impact of a number of antecedent variables on the adoption of m-learning in the Saudi higher educational context represented by the Saudi public universities. The study also attempted to examine the mediating role of lecturers’ attitudes on the relationship between the antecedent variables and m-learning adoption. Specifically, the study included three main sets of variables, namely the independent variables of lecturers’ capacity, training, readiness, and university commitment, the dependent variable of M-learning adoption, and finally the mediating variable of attitudes towards M-learning. The study adopted a mixed design methodology where a quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect and analyse the data of the questionnaires and interviews. 381 respondents constituted the sample of this study for the quantitative part 38 lecturers constituted the qualitative sample. SPSS was used as the data analysis tool where descriptive statistics were utilised to describe the data while correlational analysis was utilised to determine the relationships between the variables and test the hypotheses. The quantitative findings revealed that the independent variables of lecturers’ capacity, training, readiness, and university commitment were reported to be positively related to m-learning adoption and that the construct of attitudes mediates the relationships between these independent variables and m-learning adoption. In addition to that, the qualitative findings generated from the analysis of the interviews reported similar results with minor differences that did not affect the overall purpose of using the qualitative component of the study which is the attempt to support and further elaborate on the study’s quantitative findings which in turned added valuable elaboration on the findings generated from the questionnaires. Discussions on the findings of the study and the links between the variables have been provided in the last chapter. The study concluded with the number of theoretical and practical recommendations including others for future research. | en_US |
