CHAPTER ONE

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The smartphone, which has changed how we view mobile phones and what they can do, is one of
technology's greatest inventions. Numerous lives have surely been impacted by the role that
smartphones have played in the sphere of education (Tejaswini, 2019) [28] . Technology used in
education makes sure that everyone develops, employs, and manages technology to enable everyone to
learn. Understanding the part that educational technology plays in society at this time is crucial. For the
reasons outlined below, smartphones should dominate the education sector:

 Acquiring knowledge whenever and whenever you want: Its name is clear: a mobile. This
considerably improves the convenience of the student while also simplifying studying. It is easy
to complete assignments as they arise, take notes in class, and continue studying after class has
concluded (Mehdi, Sarvestani, & Sahar, 2020) [17] .
 Favoritism is accepted: All of your content is in the palm of your hand. You can use the content
on your smartphone in a variety of ways. A student who wants to study from a book might
select an online textbook, but a visual learner would choose an interactive path to understand
visual facts, such as the geographical features of a certain continent. By providing students with
a range of approaches to comprehend a certain subject based on how they choose to learn,
smartphones can aid in their understanding of this idea (Muhammad, Mohammad, Masitah &
Danang, 2017)
 Moving judgments: It takes the instructor a lot of time to grade the tests and homework that a
class of 30 students submits. One of the primary features of mobile learning is the capability for
a teacher to grade pupils remotely using a tablet or other mobile device and evaluate a
student's progress using the real-time data received. This facilitates the teacher's ability to
identify students who are falling behind and assist them with their assignments (Ahmad &
Mohammad, 2020) [1] .
 You can ask an instructor for help: Students can utilize mobile applications to not only find out
the answers to the questions they have about their classes, but also to use a Virtual Assistant to
learn much more about a certain topic. The student can use a mobile application to ask a virtual
assistant a question about any of the topics they have enrolled for, and the assistant will
respond with the information they need, including references for more clarification. This can be
used at any time of day, but after class is when students find it most useful (Morris & Sarapin,
2020)
 Collaborating and working together: A smartphone can be used for things besides schoolwork.
They also aid students in acquiring vital life skills like cooperation and teamwork. Students may
quickly form groups to work on projects or conduct research with the aid of mobile applications,
which also instills in them the virtue of collaboration. Team building skills are equally as
important as the skills required to specialize in any industry (Nazime, 2016).
 There is always debate about whether or not to allow students to use their smartphones in
class. Accepting cell phones begs the fundamental query of whether or not they will soon be
able to replace a teacher. The position of a teacher has emotional value in the setting of a
classroom. Although data obtained directly through mobile applications is utilized to provide
facts and figures, these applications are not suitable for offering guidance and assistance. If
there were no skilled professionals to supervise activities and guide pupils in their judgments,
technology would not evolve. Instructional technology was built on the idea of a perfect teacher
(Kwadwo & Jacob, 2019).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The mobile phone app stores offer a wide variety of instructional apps for students at various academic
levels. This implies that a student can use a particular app to seek help with a subject they are struggling
with. The majority of this software can be downloaded for free. Some of them, nevertheless, might
require a one-time fee to access. The widespread use of smartphones is proof that it affects students'
academic performance. The use of cellphones often prompts inquiries about whether this addiction
affects students' performance negatively or favorably. The majority of university students, particularly
undergraduate students, were impacted by the growth of mobile phone technology as well as their
desire for and pursuit of new technological developments. The impact has an impact on the kids'
academic performance, both positively and negatively. In order to understand how smartphones affect
college students' daily life, this study examined the impact of mobile phone on information sharing
amongst students of DSPG.
