Abstract | The primary purpose of this study is to determine the level of mobile phone applications in university classrooms in Jordan. A sample of 313 undergraduate students participated in the study by completing the researchers' designed questionnaire, which is composed of 13 items. The results of the study indicate that participants perceived a high level of mobile phone use for five items, a moderate level of use for five items, and a low level of use for three items. Overall, the students under study used mobile phones mainly to exchange education-related messages and academic files with classmates, search the Internet and library databases for academic materials, and hold discussions with classmates about missed lectures. Moreover, based on a t-test, significant differences were not found in the students' perceptions based on gender. The study ends by offering a number of recommendations for the field of study.
