Abstract

A systematic random sample of (110) college students (female) aged (18-22) year old, and (15) faculty staff members at the College of Education-female section, Jazan University, was chosen. The study conducted in the academic year (2018). Questionnaire and interviews were used for collecting data. The study sample were asked to express their attitudes towards the usage of mobile phone applications in education. All data were analyzed with the SPSS personal computer program. Appropriate statistics for description (frequencies, percentage, means, standard deviations, and Chi2) were used. The results showed that calculated Chi2 value is bigger than the value of Chi2 derived from statistical tables. Thus, the null hypotheses (H0) rejected. Rejection of the null hypotheses indicates that the difference is significant in favor of the usage of mobile phone applications in the educational process.
