Background of the Study
Mobile learning applications have revolutionized education by making learning more flexible, accessible, and personalized. In secondary schools, mobile learning applications can enhance student engagement, support individualized learning paths, and provide a more interactive way to absorb information (Adamu & Zakari, 2023). In Lokoja Local Government Area, Kogi State, mobile learning applications have been introduced in an attempt to bridge the gap between traditional learning methods and the digital age. These applications, ranging from educational games to interactive textbooks, can support subjects such as mathematics, science, and language learning.
However, while mobile learning applications hold great promise, their adoption in Lokoja has been limited due to challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, low internet connectivity, and a lack of training for teachers and students on how to effectively use these technologies (Olamide & Sulaimon, 2024). This study will investigate the extent to which mobile learning applications are being used in secondary schools in Lokoja and their impact on student learning experiences.
