PHUBBING AS A PROBLEM IN THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

In recent years, in the era of digitalization, the modern society has increasingly become aware of the problem of phubbing, which has a negative impact on all people involved in systemic interaction: phubbers, phubbies and witnesses. The article explores the phenomenon of “phubbing”, which is widespread in the field of education. It has been shown that phubbing behavior of students during classes contributes to a decrease in the quality of learning material and deterioration in academic performance, since excessive use of a smartphone leads to the fact that the phubber becomes “turned off” from the educational process, becomes distracted himself and distracts those around him. In addition, the effects of phubbing in the classroom can affect the interaction between teacher and student. The conclusion is formulated that all teachers of educational organizations should pursue a policy to counter phubbing, ensure that students strictly comply with all the rules and requirements related to the use of smartphones and maintaining discipline in classes.
