A systematic literature review and plans for further study on smart mobile learning system acceptance

This paper's aim is to conduct a systematic review of the state of scholarly research on smart mobile learning acceptance (SMLS) and suggest areas for future research. Fifty-five papers from 2019 to 2022 were used for the systematic literature review. The theories of the SMLS acceptance, publication patterns by region, industry, sample type, as well as the study methodology obtained from content analysis are presented. The results revealed about 18 different theories were identified with TAM being the most frequently employed model (n = 23). Three different methods (quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method) were used by the scholars, with questionnaire survey being the main method used to collect data (n = 50). Most of the researchers used structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse their data. The Asian region has the most studies on SMLS (n = 33), while the education industry happens to be the main focus of the researchers (n = 45). This study's findings may be utilized to enrich theoretical and methodological advancements, as well as to provide important insights for policy creation by developing strategies and frameworks for the acceptance of SMLS. By putting all the relevant knowledge of SMLS together from diverse industries, this study enhances the academic landscape.
