Actor-Network Theory Approach Using M-Learning Technologies in the Public Senior High School as Pedagogy

Abstract

The researchers adopted the phases of Actor-Network Theory approach for the public senior high school teachers with the use of M-Learning technologies as pedagogy since most of them lack access in using different learning materials and textbooks. With this, the teachers find other ways on how to provide learning materials for their students. The study used free and open source educational software to support and sustain the needs of the students and one of the M-learning open source tools is Edmodo. Also, the teacher supplements the needs o f the learners with the use of some technological devices such as mobile phone, tablet and desktop computers. The result of the study showed that it is moderately accepted in terms of using the free and open source Edmodo application. The respondents moder ately accepted the use of such devices as an educational pedagogical strategy. Moreover, the satisfaction of ANT approach with the use of the m-learning technologies in the public senior high school students in terms of m-learning materials, activities and assessment was highly accepted with a total mean of 4.56. Lastly, the level of agreement of ANT approach as pedagogy in terms of functionality, efficiency, usability, availability, and reliability was strongly agreed by the students.
