Abstract—The COVID-19 situation has affected the
instructional process, with both students and instructors having
to adapt to the conditions that have emerged. The inclusion of
online tools as part of teaching and learning is imperative,
especially in mathematics courses, in order to provide
knowledge and to create a learning environment as close as
possible to face-to-face learning. This study focuses on the
mathematical conceptual knowledge of undergraduate students
using a concept attainment model. This consists of a three-phase
learning process involving the presentation of information and
conceptualization, a conceptual comprehension test, and an
analysis of thinking strategy. It also features the
implementation of cloud-based mobile learning features,
including cloud learning devices, cloud learning services, and
cloud learning environments as the components of the proposed
instruction model. The model was evaluated by experts before
being used to investigate the mathematical conceptual
knowledge of undergraduate students and how pre-test scores
differ from post-test scores. Descriptive statistics and t-test were
used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the overall
scores for the suitability of the model indicate that this
approach is most suitable, and that students learning through a
concept attainment model using cloud-based mobile learning
obtain a higher post-test score in mathematical conceptual
knowledge compared to their pre-test score, at a level of .05
statistical significance. The framework of this study can be
useful for mathematics instructors or others educators when it
comes to applying it in order to develop students in
mathematics contexts.
