      <dc:description>Digital transformation in higher education necessitates a central role for university faculty, yet there is a lack of comprehensive tools to measure their actual pedagogical use&#xd;
of technology. This study aims to refine the definition of a composite indicator to evaluate mobile technology adoption among social science university teachers. Using the&#xd;
results of the validated MOBILE-APP questionnaire, administered to a sample of N = 295&#xd;
teachers from various social science degree programs, we employed multilevel structural&#xd;
equation modeling (SEM) to develop and implement a synthetic indicator for assessing&#xd;
mobile technology adoption levels among educators. The analysis of the considered factors&#xd;
(motivation, training, tools, and use) revealed differences in mobile technology adoption&#xd;
based on degree program, age, and previous experience. High motivation, training, use of&#xd;
institutional tools, and propensity for use promote the adoption of mobile technologies.&#xd;
Three levels of mobile technology adoption are identified and characterized. This synthetic&#xd;
indicator can be used both technically and socially to track the evolution of mobile technology adoption, enabling comparative analyses and longitudinal assessments that inform&#xd;
strategic decisions in training, infrastructure, and curriculum development. This research&#xd;
represents a step forward in the development of quantitative indicators and the assessment&#xd;
of research practices.</dc:description>
