چکیده (انگلیسی):

The present study aims to compare the impact of mobile on increasing public information of students
of Kharazmi and Allame Tabatabayi Universities in 2013. The study method is quasi-experimental with pre-test and
posttest design by control and experiment group. This study is based on researcher-built test composed of 20
questions. To evaluate face and content validity, the opinions of lecturers of educational technology, ICT and
sociology are used. The reliability of measure is supported by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.89). 160 students are
selected by random cluster method. At first, by 20-item test, pre-test is performed. Then, the experiment group
received training via mobile and control group received training by traditional method. Post-test is performed with
the same questions. Finally, survey questionnaire is presented to experiment group. SPSS software, version 19, ttest and covariance analysis are used for data analysis. There is no significant difference between the mean of two
groups in pre-test (experiment 7.57 and control 7.75) but there is a significant difference in posttest (experiment
17.25 and control 12.90). The training by traditional and mobile methods is effective on learning but training via
mobile has high impact and the students are more interested in being trained by this method.
