This study attempted to examine the time management practices of students and the state of different factors of time management (multitasking, procrastination, task prioritizing, and technology use) at Debre Markos College of Teacher Education. Based on students’ problem of meeting deadlines to properly carry out and submit assignments, students’ time management practices, the status of the factors described, and differences among students based on sex and field of study regarding those factors were examined. The study employed descriptive survey design of the quantitative approach involving 113 students selected through a proportional simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire data were analyzed through mean, one sample t-test, independent samples t-test, and analysis of variance. Findings unveiled that students were not good enough in their time management practices. Paradoxically most students were multitasking, using technology, and procrastinating on the one hand and prioritizing their tasks, on the other. Although they do not have significant differences in their task prioritization, female students were more procrastinating than their male counterparts in their academic tasks. More male students than females were multitasking and using technology. Although patterns of moderate differences were observed in terms of fields of study, the statistical outputs imply that there were lots of variances among students both in their practice of procrastination and technology use.

Objective The advantages and popularity of technology among learners have vaulted it to the forefront of medical education. The current state of learning and teaching intertwined with technology in medical education and residency is described. Following these characterizations, consideration is given to changes worth exploring in the habits of mind and habits of action that medical students and residents exhibit to deepen their learning and improve their performance. Methods Review of literature was conducted to summarize relevant transformations in instructional practices in medical school and residency that can contribute to more effective learning environments. Results Learners have different approaches that will include differing uses of technology. Technology encourages multitasking, information overload, and the increasing prevalence of invalid information. Implementing bite-sized learning approaches, problem-based or case-based formats, questions, and alternative hypotheses encourages learners to channel technological innovations into their own styles of learning. Conclusion To build knowledge in the technological era of learning, do not take learners’ digital readiness for granted. Approach technology as a tool to be wielded when required and not as a crutch.

“…Bireyin ödev konusunda araştırmalar yapması, kendi başına konuyu öğrenmesi ve elde ettiği verileri analiz ederek bir çıkarım yapması nedeniyle oldukça önemli bir eğitim yöntemi olarak görülmektedir. Günümüzde giderek artan düzeyde kullanılan öğrenen merkezli aktif eğitim yöntemlerinde de ödevler, kendine oldukça fazla yer bulmaktadır [6,7]. Ödev tesliminden sonra gerek elde edilen not gerekse değerlendiriciler tarafından verilen geribildirimler bireyin konuyu öğrenme düzeyi bakımından oldukça değerlidir [8].…”
