Six main findings emerged: (a) there is an increasing trend in integrating mobile learning in teacher education contexts (b) theoretical and conceptual perspectives are scarcely reported (c) variations exist in perceptions, attitudes and usage patterns (d) engagement with mobile learning and devices is primarily reported as being beneficial (e) challenges were scarcely reported and (f) several pedagogical affordances support mobile learning integration into teacher education settings. The present qualitative synthesis of quantitative and qualitative research aimed to address trends and gaps observed in the literature regarding the integration of mobile learning into teacher education. While the majority of the existing research has focused primarily on the value of mobile learning for students, researchers have recently started exploring its potentials within teacher development. Mobile devices have become attractive learning devices for education. Comparison of control and experimental groups results show an increase in student performance for the calculation of modular inverse matrices. To measure student learning, a test was applied to both groups. An experiment was conducted on two groups of students, the control and the experimental groups.

The goal of this paper is the teaching of modular inverse matrix calculation to undergraduate students of Computer Sciences through the decryption in symmetric cryptography.

The decryption in the Hill Cipher algorithm involves the calculus of modular inverse matrices. This article describes the teaching of modular inverse matrices with the symmetric cryptographic algorithm Hill Cipher and its implementation on mobile devices with Android Operative System. Un análisis comparativo entre ambos grupos muestra un incremento en el desempeño del grupo experimental en el cálculo de las matrices inversas modulares.

Se aplicó una prueba en ambos grupos para determinar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Se realizó un experimento con dos grupos de estudiantes, el grupo experimental y el grupo de control. El objetivo de este trabajo es la enseñanza del cálculo necesario para la obtención de matrices inversas modulares a estudiantes de licenciatura en las áreas de las ciencias computacionales a través del proceso de descifrado en la criptografía simétrica. El proceso de descifrado en el algoritmo Hill Cipher involucra el cálculo de matrices inversas modulares. El presente artículo describe la enseñanza de las matrices inversas modulares usando el algoritmo de criptografía simétrica Hill Cipher y su implementación en dispositivos móviles con Sistema operativo Android.
