This paper aims to test the hypothesis stating that introduction of mobile technology to the college-level database course for future IT specialists has a positive academic impact on students.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The main theoretical premises for the present study were the general findings of the surveys by Hinze <jats:italic>et al.<\/jats:italic> (2017) and Bowen and Pistilli (2012) indicating that: using mobile tools to work on classroom projects improves student\u2019s academic success students, especially those from computing specialties, actively turn to mobile tools in their academic activity students favor the Android and iPhone platforms and prefer native mobile apps to Web-based mobile apps The key idea of the present study was to validate these general premises in the specific case of the college-level database class. Namely, the authors formulated a hypothesis that Android-based mobile devices have a positive impact on the IT students\u2019 academic performance and interest in the subject at the college-level introductory database lessons. Throughout the study, the authors examined both quantitative (students\u2019 scores and attendance rate) and qualitative aspects (students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 opinions) of the hypothesis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Based on the experiment\u2019s positive outcome resulting in students\u2019 increased academic performance and interest in the subject, the authors conclude that in the context of the college-level database course mobile devices can successfully substitute traditional desktop computers and positively affect students\u2019 academic activity.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Based on the experiment\u2019s positive outcome resulting in students\u2019 increased academic performance and interest in the subject, the authors conclude that in the context of the college-level database course mobile devices can successfully substitute traditional desktop computers and positively affect students\u2019 academic activity.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itse-12-2018-0103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,30]],"date-time":"2019-05-30T08:33:18Z","timestamp":1559205198000},"page":"363-380","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The educational impact of using mobile technology in a database course in college"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Spartak","family":"Sakibayev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Razakh","family":"Sakibayev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Bela","family":"Sakibayeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2019092309554011200_ref001","unstructured":"Bowen, K. and Pistilli, M.D. (2012), \u201cStudent preferences for mobile app usage\u201d, available at: https:\/\/library.educause.edu\/resources\/2012\/9\/student-preferences-for-mobile-app-usage"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2019092309554011200_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.26417\/ejms.v5i1.p339-344","article-title":"Teaching and learning with mobile devices in the 21st century digital world: benefits and challenges","volume":"5","year":"2017","journal-title":"European Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2019092309554011200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"336","DOI":"10.1108\/RSR-09-2013-0045","article-title":"Undergraduate research support with optical character recognition apps","volume":"42","year":"2014","journal-title":"Reference Services Review"},{"key":"key2019092309554011200_ref004","unstructured":"Hinze, A., Vanderschantz, N.R., Timpany, C., Cunningham, S.J., Saravani, S.-J. and Wilkinson, C.
