Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of mobile app evaluation activities in increasing preservice educators’ self-efficacy and skills in integrating mobile apps into their teaching practices. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected in a survey. The results show that participants’ self-efficacy for evaluating mobile apps increased and their abilities to integrate mobile apps into their teaching and learning practices were enhanced.
