ABSTRACT:
Mobile learning, often referred to as M-learning, is an educational system that leverages mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and other handheld gadgets to enable learning at any time and place. Being prepared for mobile learning involves several aspects, such as technological readiness, pedagogical strategies, and the learner's preparedness. This study investigated the level of mobile learning readiness and reading performance of Malitbog District I pupils in the Division of Bukidnon. Specifically, it aimed to describe mobile learning readiness in terms of basic readiness, skills readiness, and budget readiness, determine the pupils' reading performance, and ascertain the relationship between mobile readiness and the reading performance of pupils. Two hundred eighty (280) pupils were the respondents in the study. It was conducted in Malitbog District, Malitbog, Bukidnon. This study employed descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation to determine the level of mobile readiness and pupils' performance. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the relation between the variables. Findings revealed that the respondents' mobile readiness in terms of basic readiness was very high, while skills readiness and budget readiness were high. Moreover, the respondents' reading performance was at the instructional level. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between mobile readiness and reading performance. It is recommended that pupils and teachers should explore educational apps, e-books, and online resources that can enhance reading skills.
