Students do not pay attention in class because of lack of motivation on the part of professors and another factor contributing to the neglect is the proliferation of smartphones. Distraction increases with the use of these phones.
The research is focused on addressing the importance of educational technologies, which can be used for the generation of teachers who are not yet aware of its use. Many do not handle them for lack of interest, because other universities have not seen the importance in the process of teaching and learning. Students are those who are connected to the Internet in the classroom, which is why we must analyze the proper use of this network and its consequences.
The arguments are also presented through a qualitative and quantitative research on the use of technological devices in the classroom. In high school they have conducted research on the misuse of smart phones or other devices. In college same thing happens, only that in school or other degrees, there are more restrictions on the part of teachers and the authorities of the institutions. In university classrooms, however there is more freedom, students are free to connect to wifi. connections, all this makes it easier to connect.
The research was conducted at four universities: Universidad Francisco Gavidia, Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, Universidad Modular Abierta y Universidad de El Salvador.
