Abstract
This study investigates students’ perceptions of the role of the teacher in a proposed mobile learning environment in a developing country. The research is based on an exploratory case study at selected Pakistani universities using a qualitative data collection approach, such as focus groups. The paper aims to highlight one of the key issues, the teacher’s role in the domain of mobile learning, given that mobile learning has been suggested as tending to making students more independent learners since they learn on the move or at work. It was found that students did need a lot of teachers’ input throughout the learning process and wanted the teacher to control the learning process, with the exception of a few students who did show interest to be independent learners.
