The research aimed to identify the impact of the use of certain Interactive mobile applications in teaching, on the attitudes of students of scientific departments, Faculty of Education, Hodeida University, towards education technology and its applications. To achieve the objectives of the research, a measure of attitudes towards education technology and its applications was built. The measure of attitudes consisted of three axes: the attitudes toward educational technology, the attitudes toward educational technology course and the attitudes toward mobile applications. Its validity and reliability were calculated. In addition, a range of mobile applications, Telegram, YouTube and Google Chrome were also identified in order to be used in the interaction as intermediaries for teaching the scientific material. A measure of attitudes was applied before the experiment on the research sample totaling 116 students from the second level of departments of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. After that, the experimental treatment material, which used some mobile applications was applied. Then a measure of attitudes was applied after the experiment. By measuring the differences between pre application results and post using t-test, and calculating the effect size, it was found that the value of 2 equaled to 0.95, 0.94, 0.96 for the three axes respectively which were values that indicated a significant impact on the development of attitudes towards education technology and its applications of using mobile applications in teaching. Depending on the results, some of the recommendations were: the establishment of seminars and workshops dealing with mobile applications and their role in the educational process in the university, designing and producing training programs through multimedia that work in mobile devices environments to train the teachers of faculty of Education to integrate mobile applications in the teaching.(Published Abstract)
