Comparison of experimental studies on the effect of mobile learning on academic achievement

It attracts notice that there have been constant developments on mobile learning from past to present. This study aims to compare the data of experimental studies in the field of Mobile Learning from different perspectives and to create a background for the study based on the effect of mobile learning on academic achievement. In the 12-year period between the years 2005-2016, experimental studies in the field of mobile learning were examined in this thesis and the results were compared. In this study, 381 studies in the field of mobile learning were evaluated in terms of whether they were experimental and the date of 73 studies which are only experimental were used. Data are grouped in 3 separate tables according to common features and many different analyzes were made with SPSS 22.0 Program. When the studies were examined according to the years, it was concluded that there was an meaningful increase in academic achievement as result of Mobile learning. As a result of the analysis publications in local and foreign literature, while there was no meaningful differences in domestic literature, important differences were found in studies in foreign literature. While there were no great differences for the master theses according to the experimental study types, it was concluded that the academic success of mobile learning was great for the doctoral dissertations, articles and papers. As a result of the experimental studies conducted on pre-test and post-test studies, there was a significant difference for doctoral dissertations, articles and papers. A substantial difference was found in the experimental study in the single group. Finally, the results of the experimental studies conducted in the local and foreign literature, pre-test and post-test results can not be calculated because the p value could not be calculated for the local literature while there are no comments about whether the difference is meaningful or not significant differences were found in studies of foreign literature.
