Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether excessive recreational smartphone use significantly affects students’ academic performance outcomes, study patterns, learning abilities and interactions with fellow students and faculty. Data was collected from 257 students attending a small community college in Bermuda to identify if there is a direct correlation between the grade point averages of participants and excessive recreational time spent on their smartphones. This study will also highlight creative technology-based learning platforms and productive strategies that can assist faculty with converting excessive recreational smartphone use into productive and engaging learning opportunities.
