Aremu, Federal University Oye Ekiti, Nigeria Olufemi V. Adeoluwa, Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria Abstract This study aimed to assess college of education students’ learning attitude and academic performance in using m-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed a pre-test and post-test experimental research design with 50 students from the College of Education, Ikere Ekiti, Nigeria. Two research instruments were used to collect data from the participants on two occasions. The first instrument was a students’ attitude questionnaire that measured the attitude of the participants towards learning. The second instrument was the students’ academic performance test that measured the students’ scores. The differences between pre-and post-tests were measured through independent t-test. Demographic data are presented in a bar chart and show that the majority of the students own mobile devices that were suitable for learning; that the majority of the students used mobile devices for learning; and that all the respondents in the experimental group possessed mobile devices with the Zoom app. The pre-test findings revealed no significant differences in the attitude and performance of students towards m-learning and traditional learning (p>0.005) while the post-test findings showed significant differences in the attitude and performance of students towards m-learning and traditional learning (p<0.005). These findings suggest that m-learning should be integrated into the school curriculum.

Deux instruments de recherche ont été utilisés pour recueillir des CJLT/RCAT Vol. 47 (3) données auprès des participants à deux reprises. Le premier instrument était un questionnaire sur l'attitude des étudiants qui mesurait l'attitude des participants envers l'apprentissage. Le deuxième instrument était le test de performance académique des étudiants qui mesurait les points obtenus par les étudiants. Les différences entre les pré et post-tests ont été mesurées par un test t indépendant. Les données démographiques sont présentées dans un diagramme à barres et montrent que la majorité des étudiants possèdent des appareils mobiles adaptés à l'apprentissage, que la majorité des étudiants utilisent des appareils mobiles pour apprendre et que tous les répondants du groupe expérimental possèdent des appareils mobiles avec l'application Zoom. Les résultats du pré-test n'ont révélé aucune différence significative dans l'attitude et la performance des étudiants envers le m-learning et l'apprentissage traditionnel (p > 0 .05), tandis que les résultats du post-test ont montré des différencessignificatives dans l'attitude et la performance des étudiants envers le m-learning et l'apprentissage traditionnel (p < 0 .005) .
