ABSTRACT
The technological progress witnessed by the world has contributed to the development of education at all levels by providing multiple means to support the educational process. These means have shortened the effort and time of the teacher and the student in achieving the goal due to their ease of use, clarity and flexibility in dealing with problems, as well as their ease of availability to the user. These means include Windows applications, various web applications, mobile applications and various social networking applications, which mainly depend on the use of smartphones owned by all students. This study focused on identifying the strengths necessary to benefit from smartphone applications to develop the outcomes of the Bologna process, which depend on both the student and the teacher, as well as clarifying the possible mechanisms to achieve the greatest benefit by conducting various questionnaires for students and teachers to know their opinions on the possibility of achieving the maximum benefit from mobile applications in different educational systems. The study also focused on trying to know the interests of students and their thinking in developing smartphone applications in line with the global openness towards technology, which serves the educational process in a fundamental way. The study suggested developing smartphone applications specific to each scientific department that suit its requirements. Interactive learning is considered one of the best teaching methods because of its impact on the student, and one of the most prominent methods used in interactive learning is the use of smartphone applications, which receive students’ attention because they save them effort and time and provide them with a suitable environment for education, as through them they can search for information and communicate with each other and exchange information.
