The main purpose of this research is to study explaining factors of students' tendency to use learning technology by cell phone in environmental education by students of public universities of Tehran. The population of the survey study was the bachelor, M.Sc. and Ph.D. students of public universities in Tehran (N=142800). Using Cochran's formula, a statistical sample of 400 students was selected by applying stratified cluster random sampling technique from Tehran, Tarbiat Modares, Shahid Beheshti, Science & Technology, Amirkabir, and Motahari universities. Questionnaire was the main instrument to collect data. The reliability of the questionnaire as assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, was more than 0.70 for different parts of the measure. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that five factors including perceived ease of use, subjective norms, self-efficacy, attitude, and perceived usefulness explained 43.93 percent of total variance. The results also showed that there were positive and significant relationships between perceived ease of use, subjective norms, self - efficacy, attitude, and perceived usefulness and the students' tendency to use cell phone in environmental education.
