There is growing interest from science educators and researchers to develop technology-assisted inquiry based learningenvironments in the domain of school science education. Traditionally, school science education has been dominated bydeductive and inductive styles of enquiry investigations, while the abductive style of inquiry investigation has previouslybeen sparsely explored in the literature related to technology enhanced learning. We have therefore designed andevaluated a
mobile learning application "ThinknLearn"
for the abductive style of inquiry investigation. This study usesthe M3 evaluation framework for evaluating this application with high school science students. The results indicated inthis paper showed improvements in the students' understanding of the learning domain as well as developing theirpositive attitudes towards mobile learning.
