Abstract

The current study aims to measure the impact of using mobile cloud learning (the blackboard application) to teach the calculus course in developing mathematical problem solving and the trend towards it among female students of mathematics at the University College in Al-Qunfudhah. To answer the study's questions and verify the validity of the assumptions, the study used the experimental method. The study sample consisted of (87) female students registered for the calculus (1) for 2020, They were divided into two groups: the control group (44) and the experimental group (43), Experimental processing materials were (recorded lectures, content uploading and design of calculus discussions on the blackboard platform) , The study tools were: problem-solving testing and it is from (24) essay questions divided into five axes,  and The trend measure for mobile cloud learning, which is consisted of (45) phrases ,Is divided into three axes (the trend towards the nature of mobile cloud Learning, the trend towards attention and enjoyment of mobile cloud Learning, the trend towards estimating the importance of mobile cloud Learning). The study found the effectiveness of using cloud mobile learning to develop the problem-solving skills of the experimental group. And the growth of the trend of students of the experimental group towards mobile cloud learning through the post application of the scale. The study recommended the generalization of mobile cloud learning via the blackboard to all mathematics courses in particular and the courses taught by college students in general.
