Despite these benefits, many teachers especially in Sub-Saharan Africa still prefer the conventional method and use mobile phones for social engagements such as texting, chatting, callings and others. Though, these teachers use mobile phones for these social activities, using it for instruction is somewhat problematic for them without adequate training on its pedagogical implications. This is also because there are dearth of trainings in this area. Some factors that could however affect this type of specialised training include Technology Self-efficacy, Mobile Phone Self-efficacy, attitude, age and others. The sample of this present study was 101 pre-service social studies teachers in two Universities in Nigeria. The influence of the Mobile learning training on Technology/Mobile Phone Self-efficacies was explored. The results indicated that the pre-service social studies teachers have high Technology/Mobile Phone Self-efficacies after exposure to the training.}, language = {English}, number = {2}, journal = {Journal of Education and Practice}, author = {Gloria, Adedoja and Oluwadara, Abimbade}, year = {2016}, note = {Publisher: IISTE, No 1 Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong SAR KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2405685:2B3XKEGJ 2405685:MNN95GGK 2534378:GD8S4UHN 2534378:KAL73UF6 2534378:SDN92DUR}, keywords = {Age Differences, ERIC, Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE), Electronic Learning, Foreign Countries, Higher Education, Instructional Effectiveness, Likert Scales, Nigeria, Postsecondary Education, Predictor Variables, Preservice Teachers, Pretests Posttests, Questionnaires, Self Efficacy, Social Studies, Student Teacher Attitudes, Technological Literacy, Technology Education, \_\_:import:01, \_\_:match:final, \_\_:matched, \_\_:study\_id:2096188, \_\_\_working\_potential\_duplicate, \_\_finaldtb, ⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {74--79}, }
