Mobile Learning Contexts for Problem-solving Competence Assessment at Higher Education

The leitmotiv and the real objective of this dissertation are to focus on new learning paradigms and contexts around mobile devices and problemsolving competence. This research begins with a thorough review of literature and other related works. It analyses them and extracts a number of conclusions regarding the reasons for the lack of specific Knowledge and Learning Technologies for mobile learning scenarios at higher education. Then, based on the trend of mobile computation and doing many activities in mobility, and the limitations encountered in the existing current teaching-learning processes, the dissertation proposes to create a new framework for mobile teaching-learning at higher education. Although some researchers offer a framework for theorizing about mobile learning, lecturers do not have yet a guideline about how to integrate mobile learning into their teaching more effectively.
