Investigating the Effect of Implementation of Interactive Mobile Learning System on Personal Performance of Drivers

The use of information and communication technology tools has provided new solutions to the development and improvement of the educational system, which is an e-learning and mobile learning outcome. Among the important issues of the education sector in the railways are certain conditions for some occupations, including operation, fleet, track, communications, and signaling, which diminish the possibility of their presence in specific periods of time. This research was carried out using a semi-experimental research and a pretest-posttest with the control group. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interactive mobile learning system on the personal performance of drivers. In order to investigate the research problem and hypothesis testing, a quasi-experimental research method was used and a pre-test post-test design with the control group was used. The groups were selected through a purposeful sampling method from drivers in Tehran station and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The statistical population consisted of all locomotives in Tehran station with 420 people. Purposefully, 45 people were selected as a sample of their job burnout score in their personal performance component below 32. Using random sampling method and randomly divided into three groups of 15, two groups of participants with adult education (andragogy) and interactive mobile learning system (IMLS) with a heutagogy approach and a control group. According to the test results, learning by interactive learning method was effective in increasing the frequency and intensity of the individual performance of the drivers.
