Investigating the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile learning among students and teachers (a scoping review)

Mobile learning is a new learning situation that provides an opportunity for collaborative, personal, non-formal, and student-centered learning environments. In implementing any learning system, such as a mobile learning environment, it is important to understand the challenges that affect its implementation. Therefore, it is vital to examine the factors affecting the acceptance of this type of learning among teachers and students, because without acceptance, implementation will be impossible. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present a set of effective factors in the acceptance of mobile learning among students and teachers with an emphasis on the "conceptual review" method. This study presents the findings of a conceptual review of the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile learning among teachers and students. A systematic search in this study according to keywords reached 336 studies, which finally, by studying the text, 12 studies were in accordance with the objectives and criteria of the study. The analysis of the results showed that factors such as the expectation of efficiency, enjoyability, quality of learning system, ease of use, digital literacy, learning self-management, expected effort, social influence, and private security are the most effective factors in accepting mobile learning among teachers and students. The findings of this study can help educate policymakers in designing and implementing effective learning programs in mobile learning.
