Prevalence and Evaluation of the Use of Electronic Devices in Teaching and Leisure Activities of Pupils 7-8 Classes

Abstract

In 2017, the Moscow Electronic School project was launched, and in 2018 the Government of the Russian Federation decided to launch a new priority project "Digital school". Digital devices of the latest generation (interactive boards and panels, computers, tablets, etc.) are widely introduced into the educational process. At the same time, research is being conducted around the world aimed at studying the impact of the modern digital environment on the mental and physical development of children, adolescents and young people, and the data obtained are largely contradictory [1-9]. Studies performed at the Institute of Hygiene and Protection for children and adolescents of the FGAU "National Medical Research Center of Children's Health" of the Ministry of Health of Russia, other research institutes and medical schools, indicate a deterioration in the health of the younger generation.
