Abstract

In the autumn of 2024, the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training issued a national recommendation regarding the regulation of mobile phone use in Norwegian schools. This master's thesis explores lower secondary school teachers' experiences and perceptions of the effects of the mobile phone ban on students' concentration and learning outcomes. The ban was introduced with the aim of reducing distractions, promoting student focus and learning, and improving the overall school environment. Our research question is therefore as follows: How do teachers perceive that the implementation of the mobile phone ban in lower secondary school has affected students' concentration and learning outcomes in the classroom? This study is based on qualitative research interviews with seven teachers from two different lower secondary schools. To interpret and analyse the findings, the study draws on a theoretical framework consisting of concepts such as access and use, digital learning resources, learning, classroom management, concentration, autonomy, media pedagogy, media literacy, and previous research. Grounded in a phenomenological research perspective, the analysis and discussion are based on an interpretation of the teachers' subjective experiences in light of this theoretical framework. The findings indicate that teachers have observed little improvements in students’ concentration, learning outcomes, or academic performance following the introduction of the mobile phone ban. Several of our informants found it challenging to draw clear conclusions about the effect of the ban and argued that mobile phones may not necessarily have been the primary obstacle to academic achievement. Our findings also suggest that the time frame since the ban was introduced has been too short to properly assess its effects. Furthermore, the study has found that teachers perceive the social effects of the mobile phone ban as positive. Informants reported that students are more socially present with one another and more active during recess. They also observed fewer conflicts and greater peer interaction. Although the mobile phone ban has not significantly improved learning or concentration, it appears to have contributed to a notable enhancement in the school environment and classroom dynamics. This study concludes that, up to now, the mobile phone ban has had a far greater impact on students’ social interactions than on their academic performance or concentration. The study also points to the need for further research on the long-term effects of the ban—both in terms of academic development and achievement, as well as student well-being.

Høsten 2024 kom Utdanningsdirektoratet med en nasjonal anbefaling angående regulering av mobiltelefon i den norske skolen. Vår masteroppgave undersøker ungdomsskolelæreres erfaringer og opplevelser med mobilforbudets effekt på elevers konsentrasjon og læringsutbytte. Forbudet ble innført med et mål om å redusere distraksjoner, fremme elevenes konsentrasjon og læring, samt styrke skolemiljøet. Vår følgende problemstilling ble derfor: Hvordan opplever lærere at innføringen av mobilforbudet i ungdomsskolen har påvirket elevenes konsentrasjon og læringsutbytte i klasserommet? Denne studien tar utgangspunkt i et kvalitativt forskningsintervju der vi har intervjuet syv lærere fra to ulike ungdomsskoler. For å forstå og analysere funnene bygger studien på et teoretisk rammeverk som består av tilgang og bruk, digitale læringsressurser, læring, klasseledelse, konsentrasjon, autonomi, mediepedagogikk og mediekompetanse, samt tidligere forskning. Med utgangspunkt i et fenomenologisk vitenskapssyn baserer analysen og diskusjonen seg på en fortolkning av lærernes subjektive erfaringer og opplevelser i lys av vårt teoretiske rammeverk. Funnene i vår studie viser at lærere i liten grad har opplevd en forbedring i elevenes konsentrasjon, læringsutbytte eller faglige prestasjoner etter at mobilforbudet ble innført. Noe flere av våre informanter påpekte at de fant det utfordrende å trekke tydelige konklusjoner av mobilforbudets effekt, og mente at det ikke nødvendigvis var mobiltelefonen som hindret faglige prestasjoner. Våre funn konkluderer også med at det kan ha vært for tidlig å vurdere effekten da forbudet ble innført høsten 2024. Videre viser våre funn at lærerne opplever den sosiale effekten av mobilforbudet som positiv. Våre informanter forteller at elevene er i større grad til stede med hverandre, og er mer aktive i friminuttene. Videre rapporterer våre informanter om at de opplever færre konflikter og en større deltakelse med medelever. Selv om mobilforbudet ikke har fremmet læring og konsentrasjon, har det bidratt til en stor forbedring i skolemiljøet og klassedynamikken. Vår studie konkluderer med at mobilforbudet per dags dato har hatt en størst betydning for det sosiale hos elevene, fremfor læring og konsentrasjon. Videre vil vår studie peke på at et behov for videre forskning på effektene av forbudet over tid, både når det kommer til faglig utvikling og prestasjon, men også trivsel.
