Research-action to improve the attitude of students towards mobile devices in learning

Despite their potential, on many occasions, mobile devices are seen as distracting elements in educational institutions. The objective of this research was to determine to what extent the attitude of first grade high school students about the use of mobile devices in learning can be improved through action research. For this, three phases were carried out: a) diagnosis, b) intervention and c) evaluation. The results revealed that the action research had a positive impact on the opinion of the students regarding the academic use of mobile devices (70 to 80); practical use of social networks (58 to 72); digital identity (39 to 73) and reflective use of ICT (from 73 to 77). This allows to conclude that the application of the research-action methodology can be an effective tool for solving problems in the educational field.
