Application of electronic devices including mobile phones in teaching and learning practices has been widely adopted in various learning levels in Tanzania. This study attempted to assess the role of mobile phone towards enhancing teaching and learning in public secondary schools in Kinondoni Municipality in Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. The study used the survey research and exploratory research designs. The study sample comprised of teachers (91), students (100) for quantitative data and for qualitative data; heads of school (10), DEO (1), teachers (10), students (10) and quality assurers (2). Data were collected through questionnaires, and interview. The study findings revealed that mobile phone is useful in teaching and learning in secondary schools, but its usefulness is limited by running cost, lack of or unreliable ICT infrastructure like internet services and electricity. Negative attitude from some teacher was also found to be a hindrance to students’ use of mobile phones in classrooms. For improvement of the provision of quality education, through the use of mobile phone in teaching and learning in secondary schools, stakeholders should play their party in enhancing the effective use of mobile phone in teaching and learning in secondary schools. Students and teachers should access education on the use and importance of using mobile phones. Education authorities in the country should ensure that schools have effective and reliable ICT infrastructure to enhance effective use of mobile phone in teaching and learning.
