Abstract

The mobile technology can be beneficial for higher education due to its ubiquitous nature and ability to shape information processes. The objectives were to (i) investigate education lecturers perceived use of mobile technologies for instruction; (ii) investigate the effect of gender on lecturers perceived use of mobile technologies for instruction. The study was a descriptive research of survey type. Random sampling technique was adopted to select 148 respondents that were involved in this study from the faculty of education. Data were analysed using frequency and percentage to answer research questions while t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 significant level. The findings established that education lecturers have optimistic perception in the use of mobile technologies for instruction. It was thus concluded that lecturers in the field of education who perceived mobile technology to be useful are those who used it for their teaching activities. The study recommended that Lecturers should be encouraged to explore different ways in which mobile technologies can be used in teaching and learning.
