Keywords: Technology, Students, Study Habits, Digital Tools, Online Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Academic Performance, Distraction, Cognitive Skills, Collaboration, Personalized LearningAbstract
Annotation: This article analyzes the influence of technology on students’ study
habits based on research findings and expert opinions. Studies by educational
organizations and academic researchers show that digital tools and online platforms
improve access to learning materials, increase study efficiency, and support
personalized learning. At the same time, psychologists and medical experts warn that
excessive use of technology, especially social media and mobile devices, may reduce
attention span, concentration, and deep cognitive processing. Surveys indicate that
while many students benefit academically from technology, they also experience
distraction and over-reliance on digital tools. The article emphasizes the importance of
balanced and responsible use of technology in education.
