while 22.9% chose TVs and 10.3% chose PCs. Mobile phone is popular since the
late 1990s (Meek, 2006) and today, there are 7 billion mobile connections
worldwide and unique mobile subscriptions of over 3.5 billion (Twum, 2011).
Mobile phones are found everywhere around the globe. With the advent of
technology and of time, the usage of mobile phones and its influences to people

They have the third highest number of contacts on their mobile phones, closely

Hypothesis
The main focus of this research paper is describing the impact and the effects
of mobile phones as instruments for learning to the respondents who are the
learning in a secondary school. This would expose the students to the implications
of using mobile phones in school and for school purposes. This will serve as a
medium of information for the awareness of not just the respondents themselves
of mobile phones in school, the impact, and also the effects towards them.

Students are using mobile devices for both academic purposes and for

learning and engagement. This is evident in students’ reports of using their mobile
devices to access course content and use ‘apps’ to support their learning. Notably,

are seeking out electronic resources to supplement in class learning (Schuler et.

Furthermore, this finding is consistent with previous studies that found mobile
device use increased both speed and cohesiveness in group work (Miller, 2012;
Schuler 2012). The current finding not only supports this idea, but indicates that
this is also true for mobile device use outside of the classroom.
The portability of mobile phones coupled with their processing speed made
them the preferred medium for accessing to study outside of the classroom.
Further, students reported sharing their data sets with their classmates; therefore,
it can be concluded that the use of mobile devices in this context plays a role,

Jeffrey and Scott (2013) in ”The Impact of Mobile Phone Usage on Student
Learning” examined the impact of mobile phone usage, during class lecture, on
lecture, and took two learning assessments after watching the lecture. Students
who were not using their mobile phones wrote down 62% more information in their
notes, took more detailed notes, were able to recall more detailed information from
the lecture, and scored a full letter grade and a half higher on a multiple choice test
than those students who were actively using their mobile phones. Theoretical and
