A new study said that students deprived from smart phones showed higher rates of comprehension and mindfulness, plus less anxiety.<\/p>\n

While the prospect of being away from their smartphone may be seen as a fate worse than death for most students (and their teachers), a new study has sought to prove once and for all that having access to technology in class is not conducive to learning.<\/p>\n

Researchers deprived students enrolled in two behavioral sciences classes at a New York-based institution of access to their phones for the duration of the courses, while their peers in two other classes were allowed to continue endlessly scrolling as normal.<\/p>\n

All took questionnaires upon completing the experiment, and those who could not access their phones were found to display better understanding of the course material,\u00a0higher levels of mindfulness<\/a>\u00a0and less anxiety.<\/p>\n

Melissa Huey, assistant professor of psychology at the\u00a0New York Institute of Technology<\/a>\u00a0and lead author of the study, said the differing anxiety levels were particularly surprising, especially after seeing the reactions of some students when the experiment began.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first took the smartphones, students were visibly anxious \u2013 one was really upset. I\u00a0think it was from the stress of not having the phone in their presence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Improvements in course comprehension were less unexpected, according to Dr Huey, who said she had grown sick of seeing students on their phones in class \u201cclearly not paying attention, with their minds completely elsewhere\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is something that has always bothered me, and I\u00a0feel like it has become more pervasive in the classroom as technology has inundated our society,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Part of the motivation for the study was therefore, she admitted, to disprove some of the technology advocates who say\u00a0smartphone and laptop use in class should be encouraged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But despite having presented her findings to fellow academics at the technology institute, she does not feel she has changed many minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an attitude that it is not possible to keep smartphones out of the class any more because of the pervasive impact of technology, the necessity of it and the feeling that they have to have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am all for technology outside the classroom,\u201d she added. \u201cI use all the resources available to share information with students. But within the classroom it really should be a place to learn; a closed-off environment where students are focused on the material, focused on critical thinking, and innovation and technology is not needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s co-author, David Giguere, assistant professor of psychology at California State University, said that after seeing the results he had started to ask students \u201ca little more directly\u201d not to pull out their mobile phones in class.<\/p>\n

Many still do, he admits, but he believes the act of simply reminding people to be \u201ca little more cognisant\u201d helps them better focus their minds on the material and, briefly, put technology to one side.<\/p>\n
