- Abstract: Mobile Learning: Student-Generated Activities among Post-Graduate Students in the Field of Public Health Promotion:IntroductionThe development of technology as well as the use of smartphones has become increasingly popular among students. The majority of students entering institutes of higher education own a smartphone. However, the impact of smartphone use in the area of public health learning is under-researched. The usage of smartphones is believed to enhance the learning of public health subjects, particularly in the Malaysian context. This study was conducted to identify the opinion of students and academicians on the benefitsof using smartphones in student-generated activities in Health Promotion, as one of the subjects in public health in a Malaysian university.MethodologyFocus Group Discussions and In-depth Interviews were conducted among students and academicians. All interviews were recorded and transcribed into verbatim. The data were analysed via thematic analysis to identify key themes and patterns in the participants’ responses.ResultsThe results showed that the majority of students and lecturers agreed on student-generated activities in producing Health Promotion videos using mobile devices such as smartphones. They felt that such activities can be applied into other subjects based on suitability and the study outcome, as well as their career in the public health sector in the future.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that integrating smartphones into student-generated activities can enhance learning engagement and practical skill development in public health education. Such approaches may also encourage creativity and prepare students for real-world applications in their future professional roles.
