Abstract :Due to the widespread use of mobile technologies, their use of them in teaching processes has also increased. Within this framework, in this study, in-depth investigation of K-12 grades studies from 2015 to 2021 which were conducted on “mobile learning”, and “learning anywhere” published on “Web of Science” through specific criteria. A total of 4419 studies published only in English were accessed initially. Then, other keywords related to K-12 grades within the scope of the study were also searched, and 452 publications were reached. 336 studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded, and as a result, 109 studies were identified as primary studies. In this study, apart from the basic criteria used in previous literature review studies, criteria such as `reporting the prerequisite tests of the analyses used in the research`, `validity, and reliability studies`, `reporting the effect size`, and `the existence of ethical, and legal permissions` are also included. The study could be considered important in terms of these additional criteria, and with its purpose of trying to reveal mobile learning tendencies.
