Topic > Digital devices reduce concentration in college

Students getting bored in class is not a new phenomenon. Initial research showed that 77% of university students confessed to being tired of attending classes, 15% of them are willing to skip classes out of laziness, 8% of them don't go to class if I'm not there absence checks, and only 7% of them are actually interested in listening to their teachers (Nguyen Trang, 2012). However, the incidence of poor awareness in learning appears to be increasing in universities. It is an undeniable fact that the appearance of a series of social groups such as "bored student council, Congress likes to play, prefers to sleep than learn,..." on the social networking site is increasingly increasing. Does it reflect an alarming problem that students are actually stuffed with lectures? According to Nguyen (2012), most students get tired of attending classes because serious lectures caused a boring atmosphere. Furthermore, no friendly friend was given as the second main reason. Finally, college students can escape the coercion of their parents. According to a new study conducted by an associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2013), the reason for poor concentration in class was that the typical college student plays with his digital device an average of 11 times a day during learning. Leslie Reed (2013) showed that over 80% of students admit that the use of smartphones, tablets and laptops can interfere with their learning. Regarding situational factors, McCoy (2012) reported that “students don't think it's necessarily a problematic issue but part of their life.” Here's how often respondents said they used their digital devices for non-classroom purposes during a typical day. (percentages equal more than...... half of the paper...... the laptop or smartphone in the classroom is very necessary to solve some of our problems. Further investigations by Kim Novak Morse showed that the Results from the above study reveal that students are indeed off-tasks in class: However, it is not as large as we thought: “Sophomores were off-tasks most of the time, in 42% of the time. entire semester time while third-year students spent about 28% of their free time in class of third years, 69% of first years and 50. The percentage of second year students were NOT misusing their laptops. Furthermore, this study suggests something different: that students already know that they can understand the material better elsewhere , or they are simply not that interested in what happens in class.”.
