Abstract:

The objective of this study is to determine the use of mobile devices in the learning process at the Faculty of Education Science and Technology, Technical University of the North, located in Ibarra-Ecuador. Through literature review and field research it was possible to identify the property of at least one mobile device, its type and use, and then analyze the impact of the practical utility of these devices in education. This analysis showed that mobile devices are underused in the teaching-learning process. Finally, it was created a Mobile Learning Object to promote the development of basic skills that generate an environment of interaction, cooperation and collaboration. Based on the results, it is concluded that the use of mobile devices enhances the interaction inside and outside the classroom stimulating exploration, communication, and critical and reflexive thinking.
