INFLUENCE OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS IN HELPING THE TRAINING OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS – CONSTRUCTION OF A RESEARCH FORM

Abstract

Introduction: In academic life, all information is transmitted in a curricular structure that contemplates the full qualification of the future professional. Certainly, it is a challenge for teachers to transmit practical teaching in expository classes and with a limited workload. It is also a challenge for students to learn, fix and apply the concepts transmitted. Objective: To develop an electronic form that can collect information pertinent to the influence of mobile applications on the study routine of academics, as well as their applicability. Methodology: The research method was the development of a closed online questionnaire classified as exploratory, as there is no specifically elaborated research that relates the influence of mobile applications in helping the training of students in their academic routine. Results and Discussion: All the data collected after being compiled will be opened in Microsoft® Excel 2019 software on Windows© version 10 Pro 64-bit platform, which was used to adjust the file information with extension. The tabulation will be performed in Microsoft Excel and the data will be exported for statistical analysis in  the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 20.0 (IBM). The data will be presented in the form of absolute and percentage frequencies using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Final Considerations: The use of applications presents some challenges and advantages for its implementation, the challenges include access to the internet, knowledge in the use of applications and the advantages are connectivity, portability, flexibility, autonomy of students and in carrying out their tasks. The elaboration of this digital form can help to understand limitations regarding the use of mobile devices in educational practices.
