Research And Development Strategy Of Domestic Mobile Learning

The development and shift of learning styles can influence someone's learning efficiency as well as learner's body and mental development, moreover, the learning style advocated by a country can influences the thriving and prosperous of future society in a certain degree. In the end of 20th century, the quick development of wireless communication and media technology make it possible to learn on the cell phone, PDA and others mobile devices. The new learning style takes full advantage of"anytime","anywhere","any demand"and other traits on mobile devices, thus, it became popular with people and more countries in the world make a waving of studying and applied by"M-learning".Our country as typical represent of developing country began to apply mobile devices in learning: the project of communication among schools use the short message to reinforce the connection and interaction between school and home;"WenQuXing"and Noah which produce electronic dictionary are known and enjoyed by students; When the new century coming, the wireless communication technology is more perfect, the more area coverage ratio, the more objects"M-learning"apply, the more content involved. From the"NongXinTong"of China Mobile to the building of 3G network in schools, from the country information terminal of China Mobile to the production of M-learning machine, learning machine, hit-reading machine, whether resource construction or hardware support, the practical application of M-learning in our country has been drastically increased.At the sometime, the theory research in the keywords of"M-learning","m-education","micro learning"has been taken in the first decade of the century. meetings, projects, tasks, thesis and other types of theoretical study are rather plentiful: Considering the research papers, there are 347 journal papers and 78 master or doctoral thesis on the CNKI; More than ten projects have been set up, about ten related meetings and theme forums, besides, our country have undertaken two important related international conferences. It is clear that M-learning related theoretical study have reached a certain degree of scope and depth in our country.Thus, in the first decade of developing our M-learning, concluding the loss and gain of our M-learning study systematically in the last decade can not only make clear the research context in the past years, but also understand the existing applications and hold the direction of future, at the same time, it can provide more researchers more chances to know and participate in the M-learning research and practice in our country; moreover, the analysis to the shortage of present study, as well as the exploration to countermeasure can provide reference to the development and perfection of the next decade studies. Indeed, there are many articles on"M-learning", but most of these articles are published on journals, too short, or the publish time are too earlier, lack system; M-learning study on business focus on the design, marketing, and application. For those reasons, this study will try to summary the comprehension of the research and application on M-learning in our country.The organization structure and content in each chapter as follows:Chapter 1: Introduction, the background of the issue, raised the issue, the present research status in our country, the meaning of this research, main work, and research methods.Chapter 2: At first, make sure role of our country's mobile learning applications in the world. Introduce the far-researching significance of this study with our own national conditions, finally, I explain the M-learning study progress from the time dimension and the manufacturer'study.Chapter 3: I discussed our studies on the M-learning in detail, introduce particular case about theoretical research from three main skeleton which are"journals, thesis and projects","tasks and meetings"and"forums", summarized the results we achieved in the past decade; and then, I introduced the application fields on M-learning, and select classic examples objects to farmers, party members, students and other groups as reference to enumeration and analysis, thus, we can understand present M-learning study in broad view in our country.Chapter 4: I discussed the insufficiency of our M-learning studies combining the present theoretical and practical researches, and provided countermeasures to solve the insufficiency from resource building, activity design, and application environment development.Chapter 5: Summary and prospects. I summarized the whole article, proposed the insufficient of this research, make sure the challenge and opportunity we may face to in the next decade.How to make M-learning become the supplementary way to take lifelong learning for more people, and provide excellent service as"m-education", is the key point which the educator concerned with M-learning care for, and also the direction we strive in the next decade. This study analysis the current problems and deficiency in our country based on theoretical and practical M-learning researches in recent decade and our own national conditions. Then, this thesis gives some advices from resource building, activity design, and environment development to perfect M-learning service and point out the development direction for M-learning. It should be noted that the shift of learning style bring by mobile devices bring is not overnight, but involved with more other macro factors such as social identity and economic condition. The purpose of this study is to let more people get familiar with the past, present and future of M-learning deeply in our country and provide a detailed, objective and overall reference for M-learning researchers.
