Abstract

The article examines a fairly widespread psychological phenomenon of media multitasking (a subspecies of multitasking) in teaching adolescents in the context of their active involvement in information and communication technologies. The subject of the research is the peculiarities of attention of generation Z representatives in the realities of media multitasking among modern adolescents. The article presents the results of an empirical study of media multitasking in modern adolescents. The article analyzes the relationship between multitasking and the involvement of adolescents in interaction with information and communication technologies and with the peculiarities of their attention (concentration and selectivity). The article describes the research procedure, the sample, the empirical tools used, the reliability of the results obtained, also the research conclusions are formulated. In the course of the empirical study, it was shown that today multitasking is a very common phenomenon, to a greater extent inherent in people with a high degree of involvement in ICT. Our empirical research has confirmed our assumption that most of today’s adolescents are characterized by either a high or medium degree of involvement in interaction with ICT. In the conclusion, the main results of the study are presented, on the basis of which new tasks are posed in the study of the phenomenon of multitasking, as the available data on the issue of multitasking and its impact on humans need further research and clarification
