Exploring the Usefulness of Mobile Technology in the Teaching/Learning Process a Multidimensional
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
This pilot study contributes with a multidimensional model measuring the usefulness of mobile technologies for teaching and learning, as perceived by science education teachers from Lithuania and Romania. The model has been empirically validated and cross-validated on a second sample which suggests good reliability and a promising starting point for further studies.
