“…To determine possible causes for heterogeneity, we conducted another subgroup analysis in which the effects were grouped on the basis of the region from which the study originated. This approach is based on the findings of Mahsud et al (2021), in which Asian subjects were influenced by smartphones to a different extent than European subjects [ 9 ]. A significant pooled effect could only be determined for the studies from the Asian region ( g = −0.39, 95% CI = −0.57; −0.21, p < 0.001).…”

“…This finding is supported by a study in which the distracting effect of smartphones was investigated. In this study, Asian students were able to concentrate better without smartphones than European students [ 9 ]. For this reason, the region of the studies is given an attention in the present meta-analysis.…”

Smartphones have become an indispensable part of everyday life. Given the current debate about the use of smartphones in classrooms and schools, it seems appropriate to examine their effects on aspects of cognitive performance in more detail. Ward and colleagues not only demonstrated the negative effect of smartphones on cognitive performance but also showed that the mere presence of these devices can have this effect—this is known as the Brain Drain effect. In the present article, a meta-analytic approach was adopted in order to verify these findings. Here we show a significant overall negative effect of smartphone use and presence. In a database search we identified 22 studies with a total of 43 relevant effects that could be assigned to the categories “memory”, “attention”, and “general cognitive performance”. A subgroup analysis suggests that not all cognitive domains are equally affected by the negative effect of smartphones. The heterogeneity of the effects reinforces this finding. The nationality of the test subjects or the origin of the studies was identified as a further key variable. Our findings also indicate that the distracting effect of smartphones varies on the area studies and further research is necessary. In view of the present research results, it seems important that people in general, and especially children and adolescents in schools and classrooms, learn how to deal with the distracting potential of smartphones.

“…Keterlibatan siswa sering kali bertepatan dengan keberhasilan siswa (Reysen et al, 2021). Mahsud et al (2020) dalam penelitian tentang tingkat fokus terganggu oleh smartphone membuktikan bahwa setiap budaya berperilaku berbeda. Siswa Asia dapat lebih fokus di ruang kelas tanpa smartphone mereka dan siswa Eropa menjadi cemas tanpa smartphone mereka.…”

Tulisan ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan penggunaan aplikasi smartphone sebagai media pembelajaran matematika. Generasi alpha merupakan generasi abad ke-21 atau anak-anak yang terlahir di generasi millennial, generasi ini tumbuh dan berinteraksi dengan beragam teknologi. Studi literatur dijadikan dasar dalam membuat tulisan ini. Penulisan dimulai dengan meninjau dari sisi latar belakang, pandangan historis, pengantar smartphone dan seterusnya. Manfaat dan kelemahan penggunaan smartphone sebagai media dalam pembelajaran juga dijadikan fokus penulisan. Dari hasil studi literatur terungkap bahwa banyak manfaat maupun kelemahan tentang penggunaan aplikasi smartphone dalam pembelajaran matematika. Salah satu cara mengoptimalkan penggunaan smartphone adalah dengan memilih aplikasi yang tepat dan bermanfaat. Guru sebagai perencana pengguna aplikasi smartphone dalam pembelajaran juga harus bijak dan tepat dalam memilih aplikasi yang terdapat dalam smartphone. Beberapa saran untuk menghadapi tantangan juga dipaparkan seperti: memberi pengertian kepada orang tua, program pelatihan guru tentang peningkatan kemampuan guru dalam menggunakan media yang berbasiskan smartphone dalam rangka meningkatkan proses pembelajaran, kebijakan yang tepat dalam hal penggunaan smartphone sebagai media pembelajaran matematika, memberikan pengertian dan bimbingan kepada generasi alpha tentang manfaat smartphone yang positif, dan tentang pentingnya pengendalian diri dalam penggunaan smartphone.

“…In addition, Masadeh, T. S. Y, tackled the same problem of students' distraction in classroom by providing the barriers of using smartphones [2]. Furthermore, another research analyzed four hypotheses for the effects of smartphones usage of different cultures including, distraction, addiction, the non-usage of smartphones and the effects of female users [3]. This research conducted to prove the defects of using smartphone in classroom.…”

Current smartphones meet all the criteria for university application. This technology opens the door to develop new techniques to enhance teaching methods. In addition, it presents an interest solution for students' guidance and helping. Thus, the idea of this proposal aims to provide a platform around smart phone based on android to help student and teachers managing their courses. It is based on the Internet of Things to increase digital interaction and improve the teaching process while delivering traditional lectures. The system encompasses three main parts. The first step is carried out for guiding students to find their classroom and teacher's desk. The second part was developed to help teachers to monitor the attendance of students. The third part is dedicated for improving e-learning in classroom by managing the educational process with the purpose of providing the adequate platform for data management. The platform, therefore, succeeded to provide the adequate solution to prevent the misuse of smart phone in classroom, and to enhance the learning methods using smart technologies.
