:THE IMPACT OF MOBILE PHONES TO STUDENTS ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE
Abstract
Concerns over the possible effects of students extensive mobile phone use on their academic
performance have been highlighted. The purpose of this research is to look into the
connection between students academic achievement and their use of mobile phones. In order
to collect thorough data, the study will use a mixed methods strategy that combines
quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Students from Mati Doctors Academy who
fall into age of 16-17 thats in 11th grade will make up the sample. While qualitative interviews
will investigate students perspectives and experiences about mobile phone usage and its
impact on academic performance, quantitative analysis will concentrate on linking students
mobile phone usage patterns with their academic result. The findings of this study will
contribute to a better understanding of the complex dynamics between mobile phone usage
and academic achievement
INTRODUCTION
a. Background

b. Results
In recent times, the mobile telecommunication sector has experienced tremendous growth,
with system expanding greatly. Mobile phones have become an indispensable aspect of
everyday life, enjoyed by by nearly all. The first people to learn about new technologies are
usually the young people, interpersonal and business communication styles have evolved as
result of smart phones.
It has a significant impact on their social and intellectual lives. In practically every aspect of
life, mobile phones have an impact on students learning particularly in higher education. The
negative aspect of technology emerge throughout time as well. There are both positives and
negatives to mobile devices when it comes to human health and behaviour. Impacts and
effects that are positive and healthy include the ease with which students can communicate
with their teachers and classmates as well as their parents. It has both negative and positive
effects.
c. Discussion
This study’s results come from this investigation about how mobile phones affect pupil’s
academic achievement. According to certain research, using a phone excessively could limit
study time and increase distractions, which might result in poorer marks. For example
students may find it difficult to focus and remember material if they often use their phones
for non academic activities during study periods. On the other hand, when utilised properly,
mobile phones can improve learning results, according to other research. In addition to
traditional teaching methods, educational apps, internet resources, and communication
technologies can give students access to information anywhere l, at any time. Mobile phonew
can also be the encourage students collaboration and higher levels of participation in class
activities
But it seems that how students control their smartphone usage is the most important element.
Academic performance is typically higher for students who demonstrate self control and
responsible gadget use that for those who are easily sidetracked by social media, video
games, or other non academic content.
d. Conclusion
The usage of Mobile phone has been growing as the advancement of technology and having
both positively and negatively impact on students academic performance. While they offer
access to information and facilitate communication, irresponsible usage can lead to
distraction, sleep disruption, and addiction, which may affect the students academic
performance. A face to face survey was conducted among 274 students from Jahangirnagar
University in Bangladesh, ranging in age from second to fourth year, participated in the study,
159 of the students were male and 115 were female. The findings show that students
academic performance is significantly improved by their gender, age, and relationship with
the opposite sex. However, a students academic performance is negatively impacted by their
marital status, time spent on their phone, and the detrimental effects of using their phone and
application ls while studying, Unquestionably useful and handy for studying l, cell phones
can also be a harmful source of distraction for students, depending on their usage habits and
mindset. However, the author contends that mobile phone makers need to consider how youth
use their devices for learning, So we can conclude that by identifying the factors influencing
the impact of mobile phones on academic performance and implementing appropriate
strategies for mitigation, educators and policymakers can help study harness the educational
benefits of mobile technology while minimizing its potential drawbacks.
