With the advancement of technology, considerable effort has been made to implement the utilization of mobile technology in learning, especially in STEM related subjects. However, this raises another issue in that the question of ethics when using these kinds of technology has not been addressed for the local context. Based on the current research, participants are concerned about the ethics of mobile technology. Thus, this research is conducted to investigate and identify the mobile ethics of students through mobile learning in a local context. The methodology used in this research is largely qualitative with students from a local university and analysed using thematic analysis. The preliminary findings shed light on the issue of ethics in mobile learning for the local context.
