Background and Objective:Mobile learning is a subset of e-learning and focuses on the use of portable learning tools. This method of learning allows learning regardless of time and place. In learning, students are able to learn from a variety of sources around the world. This enrichment leads to effective and meaningful learning. In addition, learners in this environment can change their learning environment and use a variety of learning experiences. The role of social (communication) and managerial processes (teaching and classroom skills) is also important in this regard. The purpose of this research is Impact use of education model based on mobile learning environments on Social peresence and teaching peresence for Smart schools students in mathematical lesson. Methods: in this research goal, a mixed methods research was used. In this research we used quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. Research statistical population included all girl students studying in Tehran Smart schools. In order to select the sample size using multi-stage cluster sampling method from among smart schools in Tehran, one school was selected and finally 15 people were in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test the first and second hypotheses of the study. Findings: The results showed that the application of this model was effective on all dimensions of social presence and teaching presence in the experimental group compared to the control group (in the post-test). Conclusion:. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the application of mobile learning model based on social presence and attendance of smart school learners in mathematics. The results of the analysis of research data indicate that the application of mobile learning model has a positive effect on social presence and the presence of smart school students teaching in mathematics. Students in the mobile learning management system scored higher than the other group trained in the traditional environment. This indicates the effectiveness of the environment designed for mobile learning in terms of social presence and teaching.

In M-learning, learning takes place in natural environments and educational messages are transmitted electronically. Hence, the purpose of this study was investigating the level of application and usefulness of mobile learning (devices and applications) among university students. It is a descriptive quantitative study. The population included graduate students of Educational Sciences, Mechanical Engineering and Architecture of University of Tehran; and Hygiene of Iran University. 268 students were selected by stratified random sampling. Data were gathered by a valid and reliable researcher-made questionnaire with 21 items. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and one sample t-test, Anova and Scheffe test. The results of data analysis showed that familiarity, application and utility of the tools and applications of mobile learning are slightly lower than the mean among students. Students’ familiarity and application of mobile learning were found to be significantly different. The greatest difference was found to be between students of educational sciences and architecture. No significant difference was found between the students considering the efficacy of mobile learning. It can be concluded that university students of different majors use mobile learning (devices and applications) differently based on their field of study.

Increased concern about environmental issues and the need to respond to the international community and the integration of education and research programs on knowledge created. The use of ICT in education and training systems and the training program is active. The role of modern education for effective participation in the third millennium draws. This study aimed to assess factors affecting the implementation of mobile learning in environmental education programs. The research method was descriptive-analytic research is based on forecast. The population of students in Tehran during the 1394 school year. The stratified cluster random sampling was stratified, and ninth grade students from 12 area schools were selected randomly to 350 people. To collect data, a questionnaire was developed by Cheon and his colleagues. To determine the validity of the opinions of experts and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was used. Data analysis was performed with SPSS and LISREL8.8. Path analysis results showed that all variables except the variable ease of understanding with attitude and independence of learning there is a significant relationship perceived behavior control.

One of the models that presented in M-learning quality system field is TRA model, which focused on detecting effective factors on mobile learning system at Amirkabir University. We made questionnaire based on Students’ Behavioral parameters against mobile learning which distributed. According to those results, we found a meaningful and direct relation with purpose of mobile learning at this University and each of three effective factors on this model. Therefore, the most factors which effect on functions of mobile learning purposes are supposing mobile learning, tendency to mobile learning and behavioral control. Among these effective variables based on TRA model, supposing and awareness of learner are the most important one.

This research strives to investigate mobile learning among applicants of university entrance exam and also with motivation presenting a new framework for acceptance of mobile learning. In this study، definitions of mobile teaching، models used in this research (innovation diffusion theory models، Debone& McLean’s model، technology acceptance model and Dahlberg-Öörni fusion model ). The participants in this study are three schools that have 190 volunteers for entrance to college. The instrument used، was a questionnaire، and in order to examine the reliability of the questionnaire، Cranach’s Alpha and for investigating the relations between variables Pearson correlation and simple regression has been used. The study found that the research framework is confirmed with skilled mobile phone use، perceived ease of use، perceived usefulness، user satisfaction، and acceptance of mobile learning.

Nowadays, the vehicle of education is changing from the traditional form into mobile learning. The present study is performed with the general objective of determining the role of mobile learning in the educational communications between agricultural cooperatives. This study is a quantitative research, non experimental and in terms of the objective is an applied research. The participants of this descriptive-survey include managers and board of directors of agricultural cooperatives of Zanjan province. Among a population of 900, 176 participants were selected based on Cochran formula and through stratified random sampling. The main instrument of the research for collecting data was a questionnaire. The results showed that among the problems of the current learning system in agricultural cooperatives the lack of technical education, educational participation and motivating factors have a high priority. In this research the most important capability of mobile learning system is the modification of some of the problems such as low quality and quantity of education, the lack of motivating factors and participation in education. Regarding the results of the research, sending questionnaires and receiving information and news through SMS, sending questionnaires and receiving information through MMS and sending questionnaires and receiving information and news through SMS, Bluetooth and Communicative phone respectively have more capability for education of the members of agricultural cooperatives, members of broad members and employee of cooperation office.
