Information technology. Internet in higher education Cell phones Owing to the rapid growth of technology, most of the higher educational institutions are looking for new learning systems that can improve their curriculum.

This study is an adoption of Parasuraman's study on Technology Readiness Index (TBI). The objective of this study is to identify the level of technology readiness among educators at International Islamic College (IIC) towards the implementation of mobile phone as pedagogical tools in the teaching and learning process. Besides that, this study also aims to identify the relationship between the dimensions of technology belief and educator' readiness and which dimensions influenced the most to their readiness level. In order to achieve this objective, quantitative approach and questionnaire instrument are used to gather data from the respondents. The findings show that there is a high level of technology readiness among educators (mean=3.87) with a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of technology belief and educators' readiness (p<0.05). Optimism has influenced the most to educators' readiness (p = 0.834). Since the respondents of this study were limited on educators, it is recommended this study would be expanded to students. The comprehensive findings may provide some key consideration to the IIC to determine the greatest solution in ensuring the successful of m-learning post-implementation. 2015 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/64623/1/64623.pdf Mobile phone as pedagogical tools: an investigation of the dimensions of technology belief on educators' readiness at International Islamic College / Siti Nur'ain Tihamsan.
