Abstract

Research on smartphone use among college students is extensive. Although numerous studies

have examined the relationships between mobile phone use and academic achievements, many

such studies have yielded mixed findings. Hence, the overarching goal of this meta-analysis was

to comprehensively synthesize existing research to investigate the effects of smartphone

addiction on learning. The authors included 44 studies (45 effects) in the analysis yielding a

sample size of N = 147,943 college students from 16 countries. The results show that smartphone

addiction negatively impacts students' learning and overall academic performance (Q (43) =

711.87, p < .001, r = −0.12). Further, findings suggest that the greater the use of a phone while

studying, the greater the negative impact on learning and academic achievement. Additionally,

the results suggest that skills and cognitive abilities needed for students’ academic success and

learning are negatively impacted. Implications of these findings are discussed, and

recommendations for future research are delineated.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the impact of smart phones addiction on academic performance of

college students. For the purpose, we have used “Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)” in

investigating the academic performance. Moreover, the study also emphasized that whether
 3

smart phone self-efficacy, interaction competency and behavioral intention influences the

academic performance of college students in positive way and negative way using that TPB

model, data are collected from the students of Iqra University north campus using quantitative

research. In this research we have used correlation design because we have studied relationship

between Smartphone self-efficacy (SSE), interaction competency (IC), behavioral intention (BI)

and Academic performance (AA). This design tells us how much independent variables (SSE, IC

and BI) impact on dependent variable (AA).

From the finding we came to know that there is a positive relationship between behavioral

intention and academic performance. This proves that until and unless students are not

intrinsically motivated, they cannot use smart phone in a positive way……

The limitation of the study is; the study is carried out by the students of university due to limited

time period. Moreover, time constrains also act as a barrier in collecting many responses. Hence,

the sample size might not be appropriate to increase the generalizability of this paper. Therefore,

the study can’t apply on other regions. Furthermore, more variables should be taken into

consideration to examine the overall Smartphone impact in a holistic way.

Abstract

The use of smartphone is gradually becoming a compelling learning tool used to enhance

teaching and learning in distance education. Its usage ensures flexible course delivery, makes it

possible for learners to access online learning platforms, access course resources and interact

digitally. The purpose of this study was to examine the use and effects of the smartphone as a

learning tool in distance education at the University of Ghana. The study was based on the

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and included 294 total respondents. The survey research

design and questionnaires were employed for the study. The major objectives of the study were:

to find out the students’ perceived ease of use of a smartphone in learning activities, to determine

the perceived usefulness of smartphone in students’ academic achievement, to investigate the

effect of the use of the smartphone in students’ learning activities, and to investigate the factors

that inhibit the use of a smartphone as a learning tool. The findings revealed that the distance

learning students find it easier to use a smartphone in their learning activities. The findings also

revealed that the use of smartphones performed remarkable roles among the distance learning

students of the University of Ghana in their academic activities. However, the findings found a

negative effect on the distance learning students and revealed some inhibiting factors in the use

of smartphones which included smartphones freezing during important learning moments,

unstable internet connectivity, intruding calls during class hours, and the screen and key sizes,

which made the smartphone uncomfortable for learning, as compared to laptops
