Digital Pedagogy Implementation in Engineering Using Smart Mobiles

Abstract

The mobile learning paradigm has significantly started influencing the global education sector, the outcome of which has reflected in the increased usage of mobile for learning by the students for online classrooms. Further, there is a need to better understand as well as individual and contextual level factors which are related to students' mobile usage in learning activities. Hence, it is imperative to consider the usage of mobile with digital pedagogy. This study explores individual and contextual predictors of mobile usage among undergraduate students in the stream of engineering. Learning intent is defined as the personal importance that the students ascribe to use mobile for online classes. The participants included are 1004 engineering undergraduates.The regression models has been developed to examine the relationship between mobile usage with respect to new proposed model of Mobile Infographic Pedagogy (MIP).It is observed that the study analysis depicts that the Learner centric is a more significant parameter when mobile infographic pedagogy is utilized. The model reported in this paper can easily be applied by all the faculty members in any institution to help the students improve their attention in the process of teaching-learning.
