The study examines the nature of mobile devices for learning use patterns among students in grades 9–11 and its contexts in relation to personalised learning extracting risk factors associated with less mobile device¶use in learning. A latent class analysis (LCA) was employed.

Examining profile groups through the lenses of the Personalisation–Pluralisation Quadrant (PPQ) developed by Kucirkova and Littleton and the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification¶and

Redefinition (SAMR) framework of Puentedura, we show that heterogeneous guidance should

be provided to help students maximise the potential of smartphones for learning. This study  represents a first attempt to examine the heterogeneous structure of mobile use among school

students, using a latent class analysis and can be used as a reference to better understand the

use of personal mobile devices among school students for educational purposes and
