Keywords: Mobile Technology, Student Engagement, Academic PerformanceAbstract
This study delves into the influence of mobile phones on classroom learning.
Mobile phones, enabling learning anytime and anywhere, have enhanced
communication and boosted student motivation, making them valuable tools in
education. However, challenges such as distraction and academic misconduct have
emerged. To mitigate these issues, school administrators actively monitor mobile
phone usage in classrooms.
This article examines key principles and challenges related to the integration of
mobile phones into lessons. It also offers personal insights on effectively incorporating
these devices. The primary aim of this research is to analyze how educators and leaders
address the duality of mobile technology in education. While digital natives exhibit
strong positive attitudes towards technology and possess basic technical skills, they
often lack proficiency in advanced, classroom-specific applications. As educators
increasingly explore the integration of mobile phones in teaching, they evaluate both
the opportunities and obstacles associated with this technology.
