Abstract

The study assessing students' readiness for mobile learning applications for digital education. The research involved 344 students and employed a mixed-method approach, combining survey and qualitative models.ver four weeks, students participated in mobile learning training through distance education. Data collection utilized a mobile learning readiness scale, followed by semi-structured qualitative questions posed to a subset of participants. Quantitative data were analysed using frequency analysis, independent samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, with findings presented in tables. Qualitative data were summarized with frequency and percentage distributions. Results indicated that participants, as members of Generation Z, demonstrated an advanced level of mobile learning readiness. While no significant difference in overall readiness was observed between tablet users and non-users, a significant advantage for tablet users was identified in the mobile activities sub-dimension. The findings suggest that students are well-prepared for sustainable digital education, underscoring the importance of integrating tablet-supported strategies in mobile learning contexts. © 2026 Anapiyayeva Saltanat et al.; published by UIKTEN.
