Abstract

The aim of the study was to design and validate a Mobile learning-based curriculum with an emphasis on the Acre model in higher education. Therefore, the research was mixed (quantitative-qualitative). For this purpose, in the research synthesis section, the resources available in dissertations, libraries, research projects and articles available in domestic and foreign databases were used to study the research background and collect data commensurate with the research goal. The keywords used for the search included mobile learning, mobile-based curriculum, distance learning, virtual learning, web-based learning, online learning, and the Acre pattern in higher education. The process of reviewing articles and documents, respectively; A total of 48 keyword-related studies examined the deletion of unrelated articles after reviewing 9 items, so 39 documents were reviewed in this study. In the second part, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews using note-taking. In the quantitative (survey) section for accreditation, questionnaires were distributed among 267 people using the targeted sampling method. After collecting the data, the findings and results of the research were extracted and analyzed separately. Based on this, the results show that 10 components and 102 indicators for the logic component and why 14 indicators, goals of 8 indicators, content and organization of 14 indicators, learning activities of 9 indicators, teacher role 15 indicators, materials and resources 15 indicators, group Classification of 7 indicators, location of 6 indicators, time of 4 indicators and assessment and evaluation of 10 indicators were extracted. In the last step, using the structural equation modeling model, validation of the Mobile learning-based curriculum with emphasis on the Acre pattern in higher education, the results indicate that the model fits.
