Abstract

Advancements in technology have transformed how we acquire knowledge and skills, particularly in science education. Embracing the potential of technology, especially in a student-centered mobile learning environment, can greatly enhance the learning process (Tayan, 2017). In today's world, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have become indispensable tools in our daily lives, including the science classroom (Calabrich, 2016). These devices offer portability, connectivity, and versatility, enabling both students and teachers to access a wide range of resources and applications conveniently. This study aims to explore the perceptions of pre-service primary math and science teachers regarding the use of mobile technology for understanding Earth Science topics. The research involves semi-structured interviews and analysis of students' assignments, such as science journals and e-portfolios. Findings suggest that incorporating mobile technology can enhance student learning and understanding of science topics while promoting active engagement, motivation, self-directed learning, communication, collaboration, and educational socialization.

Keywords: Mobile technology, phemonenography, pre-service math and science teachers, smart phones, tablets
