Are mobile phones harming your students’ concentration? (Part I)

 

Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in research efforts aimed at investigating the effects of mobile phones on student attention.

 

1. Decreased concentration when studying. When it comes to studying, mobile phones can be a major distraction for students. Apps are engineered to keep users hooked and engaged for long periods of time, making it difficult for students to focus on their academic work once they start using their devices – or even by just having them nearby. This in turn can lead to procrastination and poor time management.

 

This idea is supported by a recent study where 111 students were asked to complete an online self-report questionnaire based on their usage of TikTok on their mobile phones. They found that students who spent more time on the app were less likely to get their schoolwork done and more likely to lose track of time. It is also worth mentioning that the blue light emitted by mobile phones can cause eye strain and fatigue, which can further reduce a student’s ability to concentrate and study effectively.

What is smartphone addiction? (Part I)

 

While a smartphone, tablet, or computer can be a hugely productive tool, compulsive use of these devices can interfere with work, school, and relationships. When you spend more time on social media or playing games than you do interacting with real people or you can’t stop yourself from repeatedly checking texts, emails, or apps – even when it has negative consequences in your life – it may be time to reassess your technology use.

 

Phone addiction, sometimes colloquially known as “nomophobia” (fear of being without a mobile phone), is often fueled by an internet overuse problem or internet addiction disorder. After all, it’s rarely the phone or tablet itself that creates the compulsion, but rather the games, apps, and online worlds it connects us to.

De acordo com o texto, é necessário repensar o uso de tecnologias digitais quando:

    The new careers of the 21st century are turbulent compared to the ideal corporate climb of the 1950s. Owing to the greater 
presence of women in the workforce, diminished job security, and increased focus on psychological aspects of success, many 
workers have moved onto non-traditional career paths. The new careers involve changing organizations, lateral rather than vertical 
moves, and often include interruptions in employment. The expectation is that employees will manage their own careers, choosing to 
work for companies that provide opportunities to meet their objectives. Organizations need to embrace the realities of 21st century 
careers and recognize the importance of programs and policies that enable the careers of their employees. Career-enabling programs 
address time-control issues (e.g., part-time options, job sharing, fl extime, telecommuting, and leaves) as well as knowledge and skill 
development (e.g., training, job rotation, tuition remission, mentoring). Such programs help employees meet both career and life 
goals and will promote the long-term success of the organization.
