Examinining of pre-service physical education teachers' mobile learning tools acceptance and mobile learning attitude levels

Purpose: Thanks to the technology that makes fundamental changes in the education and training system, more efficient and effective environments are created in schools (Özen et al. 2016). In recent research, the role of technology in education is gaining momentum (Bozcan, 2010). With the opportunities offered by technology, students can offer differentiated learning activities according to their learning needs, preferences and forms, and students can participate in this process in accordance with their learning preferences by personalizing their technological tools with the application and content they want. The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of physical education teacher candidates towards mobile learning and the levels of acceptance (acceptance) of mobile learning in their lives. Material and Method: Screening research offers the opportunity to measure people's perceptions and attitudes in a short time and with low budget (Büyüköztürk et al., 2008). physical education throughout Turkey in mind it is highly regarded teacher candidates mobile learning, mobile learning tools and attitudes to examine the request, random stratified sampling method was used. Results: The attitudes of physical education teacher candidates towards mobile learning are found to be relatively higher than the acceptance levels of mobile devices. Motivation and satisfaction variables, which are one of the sub-factors of Attitude towards Mobile Learning, have a high correlation with each other. On the other hand, it can be said that the willingness to use mobile devices is mostly affected by the acceptance levels of mobile learning tools. Conclusions and Recommendations: In general, students perceive mobile learning positively in educational environments. In this context, it is possible that mobile devices can be included in the learning-teaching processes with the support of educational institutions to provide motivating, interesting and easy to use physical education teacher candidates, as well as to support learning and to have advantages such as time and space independence. It is suggested that these features should be taken into consideration in new studies about mobile learning. Keywords: Physical education, Pre-service teachers, Mobile learning, Technology.
