Abstract
This study aims to investigate the mediation role of teacher's support and the moderator role of gender in the relation between attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning and student satisfaction. 410 undergraduate students from different universities in the KSA were recruited. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. Attitudes towards the self-regulated mobile scale, satisfaction with the mobile learning scale and teacher’s support were used to collect data. Attitudes towards self-regulated mobile learning positively correlated with the teacher's support. Teachers' support and attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning significantly and positively correlated with the students’ satisfaction. These results indicated that teacher's support partially mediated the relationship between attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning and student satisfaction. However, the interaction between teacher's support and gender was not correlated with attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning. Gender could not moderate the relationship between attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning and teacher's support. This study highlights the mediation role of teacher's support and the moderator role of gender in the relation between attitude towards self-regulated mobile learning and student satisfaction. This study contributes to the improvements in the education system in the KSA especially when the increasing value of self-regulated mobile learning is considered.
