The Potential of Mobile Technologies Assignment_2
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 BackgroundThe educational landscape has changed in recent years due to the introduction andadoption of digital technologies. Advancement in digital technologies such as mobile phones,laptops and personal digital assistants has increased and are becoming potential sources forlearning and teaching inside and outside the classroom (Bahri and Mahadi, 2016). Recently, asstated by Liu and et. al. (2017), technology-based learning has increased. Further, enhancementcan be seen in the communication, R&D, navigation, social networking, education and manymore areas (Bahri and Mahadi, 2016). Every year there are thousands of the application andtechnologies are developed which are changing the ways by which both students and teachers arelearning (Cheah and Lim, 2016, Bahri and Mahadi, 2016). The current study is based on the potential of mobile technologies for Nigeria studentsand teachers for the purpose of teaching and learning chemistry. Oludipe and Awokoya (2010)explains the role of science education in the life of individuals and the advancement of scienceand technology for the development of mankind and the society, in general which is very crucial.According to them, scientific literacy is a gateway to achieve scientific and technologicaladvancement for economic survival and this is achievable through science education. Jegede(2010), similarly, noted that the main purpose of science teaching in the classroom is to providestudents with adequate scientific knowledge that is required for the fulfilment of socio-economicand cultural needs of the society as well as to ensure the means for physical survival.Chemistry is a subject which comprises of five basic subdivisions. These are: - physical,analytical, biochemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry (Oludipe and Awokoya, 2010).Though the subject is interesting, learning and teaching are impossible to be done in a physicalmanner as the elemental structures and formulas are very difficult to show on plane blackboards(Omorogbe and Celestine, 2013). Further, there are various subtopics such as periodic tables,elements, atom motion, 3D molecules and combination which are difficult for the teachers toteach and students to learn (Tsoi and Dekhane, 2011). Due to such complicated procedure, it istoo hard to teach and learn in an impractical manner where several difficulties are being faced inthe educational system (Aduke, 2008). In Nigeria, mobile was mostly used for the purpose ofcommunication, before the year 2001 (Jumoke, Oloruntoba and Blessing 2015). However, withan increasing technological enhancement, there are more than 30 million phones in Nigeria as of3
