—Effects on Saudi Female Student Learning Experiences in a Programming Subject Using Mobile…
Mobile devices used in programming classrooms is believed to improve student learn-
ing, boost student motivation and make it easier for teachers to foster and develop stu-
dents’ fundamental skills [13], [21], [22]. M-learning makes learning basic functions
easier and helps students accurately understand programming principles [21]. Computer
programming has become more engaging and accessible for teachers and students as m-
learning has emerged as an effective tool.
Helping to understand learner behaviour (based on Saudi social norms).
Since
cultural attitudes and values impact how people use technology, this study investigates
how cultural factors affect Saudi Arabian women who want to use m-learning to study
computer programming [23] [24]. In Saudi Arabia, the nation’s culture and norms pre-
sent several obstacles for women to overcome before they can participate in and gain
access to the field of programming.
Culture impacts people’s attitudes toward technology since it shapes how they view
modernisation [24]. Before introducing any new technology into a country or region,
it is essential to acquire knowledge beforehand about the target population’s culture-spe-
cific behaviours [25]. If there is a prior understanding of that country’s culture, new tech-
nology can be adapted to fit that nation’s customs. This way, cultural obstacles that
could prevent people from adopting new technologies can be removed, or at least minimised.
