초록

As wireless technology becomes more advanced, mobile devices become moreaffordable and easier to use. Due to the technological change, mobile learning getsmore attention from both researchers and practitioners looking for ways to utilize itin teaching and learning. Although the researches provide very valuable insights intotrends and issues of mobile learning, there are few articles that examine useracceptance of mobile learning. In order to adopt and disseminate mobile learning inthe field of education, investigating the readiness and intentions of potential learnersis crucial. Previous research indicated that little research had been conducted on thefactors affecting users’ acceptance of, and intentions for, adopting mobile learning(Liu, Han & Li, 2010; Wang, Wu & Wang, 2009; Wang & Wang, 2010). Hence, thispaper aims to identify the directions of initiating and implementing mobile learning.The study attempts to answer the following questions: (1) What kinds of researchmodels are proposed to understand users’ acceptance of, and intentions for usingmobile learning? (2) What are the variables in the models investigated? (3) What typesof research methods have been employed in each article? (4) What are the researchoutcomes? Related articles from three reputable academic databases from thebeginning of 2000 to December 2013 were retrieved and analyzed. This study wouldhelp developers and stakeholders better understand the user acceptance process tosupport their decision making and planning on mobile learning.

As wireless technology becomes more advanced, mobile devices become more
affordable and easier to use. Due to the technological change, mobile learning gets
more attention from both researchers and practitioners looking for ways to utilize it
in teaching and learning. Although the researches provide very valuable insights into
trends and issues of mobile learning, there are few articles that examine user
acceptance of mobile learning. In order to adopt and disseminate mobile learning in
the field of education, investigating the readiness and intentions of potential learners
is crucial. Previous research indicated that little research had been conducted on the
factors affecting users’ acceptance of, and intentions for, adopting mobile learning
(Liu, Han & Li, 2010; Wang, Wu & Wang, 2009; Wang & Wang, 2010). Hence, this
paper aims to identify the directions of initiating and implementing mobile learning.
The study attempts to answer the following questions: (1) What kinds of research
models are proposed to understand users’ acceptance of, and intentions for using
mobile learning? (2) What are the variables in the models investigated? (3) What types
of research methods have been employed in each article? (4) What are the research
outcomes? Related articles from three reputable academic databases from the
beginning of 2000 to December 2013 were retrieved and analyzed. This study would
help developers and stakeholders better understand the user acceptance process to
support their decision making and planning on mobile learning.
