Abstract

In questa ricerca abbiamo chiesto a 100 studenti universitari di descrivere le modalità d’uso dei propri strumenti tecnologici nei diversi contesti di studio e durante le lezioni in aula. Le risposte ottenute hanno evidenziato un uso esteso e continuo del cellulare per scrivere e rispondere a messaggi, sia a lezione sia durante le attività di studio. Nel gruppo di studenti da noi incontrati risulta essere diffusa l’opinione che fare multitasking, in particolare tramite la ricezione/produzione di messaggi, non abbia effetti sulla qualità dell’apprendimento, ma solo sul tempo dello studio. I partecipanti dichiarano di preferire ambienti privi di distrazioni, ma attribuiscono una valenza positiva alla possibilità di rimanere in relazione continua con la propria rete di contatti.
