Abstract

Mobile learning (mlearning) is a potential option in the teaching process of Natural Sciences. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the perception of high school teachers on the potential integration of mobile learning based on the use of Microcosmos® 3.0. The results show that teachers are highly interested in mobile learning, partially know how to use it, despite access limitations, and are positively willing to train and participate in this new learning methodology. They admit that there are benefits of Microcosmos® 3.0 for learning Natural Sciences, especially chemistry, biology, entomology and anatomy; however, they accept that the challenges are somehow difficult, but can be improved by its constant use. Likewise, they admit a high level of satisfaction and usefulness for the reinforcement of contents and that continuity in the coming years will depend on the fulfillment of some of the suggestions made. Future studies will seek a more exhaustive follow-up and will include students as part of the sample.
