Exploring the Definitions and Experiences of the Digital Divide--It Is More than a Digital Distraction: A Case Study in One Midwestern Suburban High School during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Kurt Christopher Schuett
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Concordia University Chicago
This case study was an exploration into the digital distraction occurring in a 1:1 integrated American high school. Twenty-first century education allows students and teachers to navigate learning using digital resources (internet, social media, academic databases) via school-issued and student-owned mobile digital technology (laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, etc.). This digital inclusion has been concerning for those who must supervise on-task learning, as managing devices, such as Chromebooks, cellphones and smartwatches has become both a pragmatic and ethical matter. In this case, I explored stakeholders' perspectives on digital devices, and the distraction they can cause in secondary education. Specifically, I attempted to discover the impact of digital distraction on engagement and attention during learning in the secondary 1:1 integrated classroom.
