The influence of science and technology on students ' attention

Recent surveys show that nearly 90% of teachers believe that digital technology will rob us of our attention. 60% of students also said their ability to write and face-contact was down, and nearly half admitted that their critical thinking and ability to do homework were affected by a variety of distractions. And 76% of teachers say students rely heavily on web search, and any problem that requires them to spend time thinking, they usually use search engines directly to find answers.

It turns out that the Big Bang has changed the way we learn. From an educational point of view, the application of technology to education seems to be a good idea, but with the proliferation of electronic products in the campus, the negative impact of technology on education has begun to highlight the mixed.

What is especially serious is that in the classroom, students no longer listen attentively to the teacher, but look down at the equipment, do all kinds of gestures, while others are tapping the virtual keyboard at a faster rate than a professional typist. Others just take their headphones with them and point their heads at the beat.

This behavior is the same as leaving the classroom. This also makes teachers have to keep reminding everyone in class to turn off the equipment and listen attentively.

Interestingly, although African-American students are not as integrated as they are at school, they are more enthusiastic about new products than anyone else. From the teacher's point of view, any distraction will distract the equipment, are not welcome, and the teacher also basically can't keep up with the speed of technology products.

A possible remedy is to lock up all electronic equipment before class, expressly prohibiting use in the classroom. If there is a violation, all confiscated, and confiscated equipment will be transferred to parents. If parents still do not pay attention to, only temporarily by the school on behalf of custody.

Weibo, visit Youtube, Amazon and so on, are distracted by the inducement, sometimes in writing homework, want to rest on the internet, but these sites a voluminous amount of information, usually a stroll is a two hours, these will disrupt your plan and rhythm.

More importantly, students are generally blind to any information they see on the internet (especially Wikipedia), and lack of questioning about the source. The voluminous amount of information can also cause students to lose the patience of reading and analysis on a topic, and they are more likely to collect a lot of information and carry out the study in a cursory style. This should be highly regarded, because the long-term development, students ' graduation and intellectual growth is bound to be affected.

The teacher also responded that students ' memories were disorganized, and the latest test results showed that their logical reasoning and ability to think independently were weakening.

Many schools are now trying to expand the benefits of technology and try to avoid the adverse effects of technology. Although it is difficult to achieve, we are seeing more and more schools introducing instructions for using handheld devices in classrooms.

Of course, we cannot erase the great contribution of science and technology to education because of the emergence of these problems. Rational and appropriate use of technology, especially search engines, is very helpful to many people who need to do a lot of academic research.

There are also educational reformers who say that the bell needs to be tied to people who want to improve students ' performance and classroom performance while expanding their teaching style through online education and interactive games.

There are also those who disagree that technology will continue to develop, social media and a variety of interference factors will continue to exist, schools should prohibit students to use social media, such as Internet services, more focus on students the most fundamental knowledge of the reserves and skills to learn.

At present, there is no unified statement, and I think that the regulation of schools is only part of the most fundamental thing is that students can correctly understand the role of technology in our lives: it should be a tool to help us grow, not let us indulge in toys.
