Mobile Learning Help to Raise Self Confident

Many mentors observed changes in their learners’ level of general self-confidence. This was not specifically linked to the development of their confidence in using ICT or their confidence in the areas of numeracy and literacy, but linked to self-esteem as discussed above. For example,a mentor supporting traveller education stated ‘low self-esteem and lack of self confidence [was] much improved when working with others,willing to take risks and try things out. Much gained by discussion with others’. Another mentor reported that a learner who used the driving theory test learning materials ‘had not tried it before but by the time he had finished using it he was passing every time. This has given him the confidence to go and learn to drive, as he may not have tried before at the thought of the theory test’.
