Does Using Technology in the Classroom Help College
Students?
Almost anywhere in the world, you are likely to find people
doing the same thing in public places, on trains and buses or wherever else you
look. They spend their day looking at laptop computers, smartphones or other
personal electronic devices. They are thinking mainly about their electronic
devices, and not much else.
More and more college students have no
problem walking into a classroom and immediately opening their laptops. Others
may spend an entire study period with a smartphone in hand. But recent research suggests that
using technology during class time may harm college students' ability to
remember and process the subject material they are learning.
Arnold Glass, a professor in Rutgers University in New
Brunswick, New Jersey, and a student researcher investigated the issue of divided
student attention. During half of their daily class periods, the students in
their study were permitted to use any electronic device as much as they wanted.
The students' academic performance was measured in several
ways throughout the semester. They took a short test every day, longer tests
every few weeks and a final exam covering all the class material. The
researchers found that the average daily quiz results showed no evidence of
harmful effects from the use of technology. They showed that all the students
performed poorly on questions covering material taught on days when they were
permitted to use technology in the classroom.
Glass says that it shows the use of electronic devices in
the classroom prevents students from processing information. The students hear
what the professor is saying. But they might be buying things online or reading
unrelated emails at the same time, for example. So they are not thinking deeply
about the subject matter as they are hearing it.
A. The same can be
said about the world of college education.
B. However, the
average results of the larger tests and final exam told a different story.
C. And that, Glass
says, makes it harder for the information to enter their long-term memory.
D. Technology, in
general, is not the only way that students find to distract themselves in
class.
E. But even if
technology is helpful to some students, there are times when it needs to be
turned off.
F. Some students
argue that the increasing use of technology can have many helpful effects on
society.
G. During the other
half, researchers closely watched them to make sure no one was using any
technology.
