Resumen

This paper evaluates the integration of mobile devices for learning proposes and identifi es those factors that infl uence the adoption of this technology in higher education. A sample of 411 students participated in the research. The data was analysed using two models of technology adoption (TAM and UTAUT) including socio-demographic indicators. The results show that three-quarters of students use mobile devices for tasks associated with their studies, and nearly half for specifi c learning proposes, and do so regardless of the resources that provide them the University. The results confi rm the theoretical models, while being female increases the probability of adopting the m-learning.
