Abstract:
In this paper, the authors reviewed the empirical mobile technology (MT) studies, and those focused on adopting and designing MT for students ' learning, published in SSCI journals from 2003 to 2012. It is found that the number of articles has significantly increased, particularly after 2008. Among the 74 published papers, most of them were conducted in higher education, as well as on computing domain. Furthermore, the quantitative research method was used more in MT and e-learning research. The findings in this study may provide potential direction and help policymakers in governments and researchers in professional organizations to allocate the necessary resources and prepare for supporting future research and applications of MT.
Keywords: E-Learning, Higher Education, Literature Review, Mobile Technology (MT), Online Education

BACKGROUNDAND OBJECTIVES
The rapid proliferation of mobile technology (MT) devices such as mobile phones and tablets has had a significant impact on society, bringing about important changes in ways of daily life (Nedungadi & Raman, 2012). It is worth noting that technology has been regarded as a potential solution to the problems inherent within mass education (Hinvest & Brosnan, 2012), with technological advances leading educators to reconsider and ascertain whether new instructional methods modify or even magnify student's learning styles (Ongun, Altas & Demirag, 2011). Despite the potential for educational technology to enhance academic performance, current research has failed to demonstrate enhanced student learning outcome through using technology within education (Bremer, 2005).
Although diverse forms and increasing services are offered by MT, educational use is still immature because of the technological limitations and pedagogical considerations (Traxler, 2007). That is, implementing innovative approaches like personalized learning on mobile devices requires reminding students of the pedagogical justification for this new way of doing things (Nedungadi & Raman, 2012). In addition, due to the high cost of computer labs and technological devices in schools, many schools have an unfavorable student-to-computer ratio, and most students can only access computer labs or use such devices once or twice a week (Park, 2011). Therefore, educators should make more effort to facilitate learning by using MT and integrate them with appropriatelearning strategies for both teachers and students.
MT can be viewed from two aspects, including technological devices such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), Bluetooth, 3G, and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) as well as mobile information appliances such as mobile phones, PDA, and laptop computers (Nah, Siau & Sheng, 2005; Varshney & Vetter, 2000). Naismith, Lonsdale, Vavoula and Sharples (2004) indicate that in the extensive literature about the challenges and benefits of using MT for learning, the advantages of MT have been shown to be convenience, flexibility and connectedness (Chae & Yeum, 2010).
Recently, several studies have investigated use of MT in education (e.g., Chu, Hwang, Tsai, & Tseng, 2010; Traxler, 2005). After decades of research, various elements of MT have been proposed. Naismith et al. (2004) describe the use of MT corresponding to six categories of learning activity: behaviorism, constructivism, situated learning, collaborative learning, informal/lifelong learning, and support. Serious and significant issues as to how MT can best be used for students' learning must be considered. This study aims to review MT studies published in influential international journals from 2003 to 2012. The research questions of the current study are the following:
1. What research topics related to MT were published in selected journals from 2003 to 2012?
2. What research sample groups related to MT were selected in these published articles from 2003 to 2012?
3. What research domains related to MT were adopted in these published articles from 2003 to 2012?
4. Is there any significant association between the research topic and the selection of the research sample group for these publications from 2003 to 2012?
5. Is there any significant association between the research topic and the adoption of the domain for these publications from 2003 to 2012?
METHODS
In order to conduct a systematic review of MT research, the authors used the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database to search for and collect the literature for review in this study. The time period was set from 2003 to 2012, and the keywords for the topical search in SSCI publications were "mobile technology", "e-learning", and "online education". Only journal papers were reviewed in this study. Based on the topics and the principle of "journals only," 88 papers (including seven duplicates) were selected for review. However, among them, three papers are classified as "system design" studies, and the content of seven papers does not focus on using MT in e-learning or online education. Eliminating the duplicates and the latter seven papers from our consideration, finally, 74 studies were selected for this review. To confirm that the selected papers were related to MT research in e-learning and online education, the researchers in this study manually and systematically screened the content of each paper. The researchers analyzed and classified sample groups, subject domains and the research methods involved (qualitative, quantitative or mixed) among the 74 papers in this study.
RESULTS
Number of Papers Published
The number of papers related to MT research in e-learning and online education that were published from 2003 to 2012 is shown in Figure 1. It is worth noting that only nine were published from 2003 to 2007, whereas 65 of them were published from 2008 to 2012. Accordingly, Figure 1 reveals that the research in this field increased at a fast pace from 2008. This result indicates that the adoption of MT in e-learning research has received increasing attention from researchers, educators and schools, greatly advanced in the recent 5 years.
Sample Groups in the Reviewed Studies
Regarding the distribution percentages of the sample groups involved in the selected papers from 2003 to 2012, Table 1 shows that undergraduates had the highest ranking (43.24%), followed by Non-specified (21.62%) and Adult learners (10.80%). Only a few studies selected compulsory education students (8.11%), High school students (5.41%), teachers (5.41%), and patients (5.41%). In this study, we find undergraduates were most frequently investigated as the research sample in MT and e-learning studies conducted from 2003 to 2012. This may be because most undergraduates have MT (e.g. cellular phone) and thus have more opportunities to use it for education. In addition, it should also be noted that the number of studies focusing on high school students is dramatically increasing. That is, the adoption of MT and e-learning are getting more and more emphasis in secondary education contexts.
Subject Domains Involved in the Reviewed Studies
Table 2 shows the domains selected for the MT studies conducted from 2003 to 2012. It is found that 27.02% of the 74 papers report on studies in the computing domain, which is the highest ranking. Besides, 24.32% of the MT studies focus on education fields. Then, 20.27% of the MT studies were medical science domain, followed by science (13.51%), social science (12.16%), Non-specified (1.35%) and system (1.35%). It can be seen that the sequence remains the same, implying that domains of computing and social science account for major samples of MT research from 2003 to 2012.
Research Methods Adopted
As for the research methods used in the selected MT research in e-learning and online education papers from 2003 to 2012, it is revealed in Table 3 that the most frequently used research methods were quantitative (39.19%), followed by qualitative (20.27%), mixed methods (9.46%), and system design (4.05%). In addition, some papers focused on review of literature (27.03%). Furthermore, the complete analysis of the 74 selected papers is shown in Table 4.
CONCLUSION
This paper reviews the advancement of MT research from 2003 to 2012 based on the articles published in SSCI journals. It is found that the number of articles has significantly increased, particularly after 2008. Among the 74 published papers, most of them were conducted in higher education, as well as on computing domain. Moreover, the quantitative research method was used more in online MT research. These findings may provide reference for educators and researchers who plan to contribute to the relevant studies. The analysis results in this study could help policymakers in governments and researchers in professional organizations to allocate the necessary resources and prepare for supporting future research and applications of MT.
