The use of smartphones in higher education : A quantitative study of attitude differences between students and teachers (English)
Abstract [sv]

Experter hävdar att smartphones blir allt vanligare i högre utbildning (högskole- och universitetsnivå) vilket gör undervisningen mer flexibel och tillgänglig för studenter. En smartphone fungerar som en handdator och du kan använda den för att läsa e-post, surfa på Internet, logga in på sociala nätverk som Facebook och Twitter, läsa nyheter, spela spel, lösa korsord, foto- grafera och spela in videor och mycket mer.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i attityder mellan studenter och lä- rare samt män och kvinnor om användningen av smartphones i högre utbildning. Detta gjor- des med ett kvantitativt angreppsätt där datainsamlingen gjordes med hjälp av en webbaserad enkätundersökning. När det gäller studenter och lärare, har vi utgått från Prensky’s (2001) teori om digitala infödingar och digitala immigranter. I denna mening, ville vi ta reda på om det fanns signifikanta skillnader mellan dem som är födda 1980 eller senare och de som är födda före 1980.

Resultaten visar att studenterna har en mer positiv attityd till användningen av smartphones i högre utbildning jämfört med lärare. Den visar också att kvinnor har en mer positiv inställning till användningen av smartphones i högre utbildning jämfört med män.

Abstract [en]

Experts argue that smartphones will become increasingly common in higher education (University Level), thereby making teaching more flexible and accessible to students. A smartphone works like a PDA and you can use it to read email, surf the Internet, log on to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, read news, play games, solve crossword puzzles, shoot and record videos, and more.

The aim of this thesis was to examine the differences in attitudes between students and teachers as well as men and women on the use of smartphones in higher education. As for students and teachers, Prensky's (2001) theory of digital natives and digital immigrants was used. In this sense, we wanted to find out if there were significant differences between those who were born in 1980 or later and those who were born before 1980.

The results reveal that students have a more positive attitude towards the use of smartphones in higher education compared to teachers. They also show that women have a more positive attitude towards the use of smartphones in higher education compared to men.
