Workshop
Inappropriate student use of mobile phones during class
December 2015

Inappropriate student use of mobile phones during class
This report is based on our collective experience and personal teaching experience
...

Our consensus was that anything that disrupted an individual’s ability to study
effectively within the class room or generally had a negative impact
...

Inappropriate usage
Listening to music
Watching videos
Using social media applications
Texting through Instant messaging
applications
Taking unauthorised photos and or video

Appropriate usage / Legitimate usage
Checking the time
Answering urgent family related phone calls
Using mobile technology to aid learning
Taking authorised photos

This led us all to ask a wider question:
Should mobiles be allowed or banned in the classroom?
We discussed and evaluated our students
...
Our students can be characterised into three main groups:




Group 1: No Study habits or lack a learning culture
Group 2: Students that would like to learn
Group 3: Students that are resilient to learning English

Methods for handling mobile phones:
1) Encourage students to use their mobile phones to aid learning, but we found it
very hard to monitor all students during the class and we noticed that the
phones were having a negative effect on the classroom attention and
engagement
...
Some students refuse to give their phones and start to
distract other students
...
The students do not bring
their phones to the classroom, but this requires a full support from
administration because some students hide their phones to use them later
...
Phones must
be turned off during class hours
...

Allow them only to be used as dictionaries
...

Authorised photographs of: Pacing schedules, spelling word lists and other
valuable recourses not available through normal lessons
...
Second sees a full mark reduction and
request to leave the classroom
...
They should talk with
students and staff about their expectations regarding mobile phone use during the
class
...
He or she must clearly state how the mobile phone
can be used and students need to know the repercussions for violating the policy
...


Conclusion
We concluded an administrative backed no phone policy was the best solution
...
The policy and consequences need to be
clearly communicated to all parties and the university should offer more support in
implementing them
...

o Teachers are mostly monolingual, and unable to translate or explain
more complex words to students
