THE IMPACT OF THE INTENSITY OF GADGET USE ON THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS OF SCHOOL STUDENTS
Keywords:
gadget use intensity, cognitive development, school students, digital technology, social-emotional development, quantitative researchAbstract
This study examines the impact of gadget use intensity on cognitive development indicators among school students. A quantitative correlational research design was employed involving 126 participants selected through cluster sampling. The intensity of gadget use was measured based on daily duration and weekly frequency, and categorized into low, medium, and high levels. Developmental outcomes were assessed using a standardized evaluation tool. The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between gadget use intensity and developmental indicators (p < 0.05), indicating that high levels of gadget use are associated with less favorable developmental outcomes. The results highlight the importance of balanced and supervised use of digital technologies to support optimal cognitive development in school-age children
