Impactul utilizării aplicațiilor educaționale digitale asupra elevilor de clasa pregătitoare

Abstract

Nowadays, digital technology has become an integral part of our daily life, and contemporary educational practices are strongly influenced by the use of digital educational applications that can be an innovative and interesting way to engage students in the educational process. However, there are still many unknowns regarding the impact of these apps on middle school students. Early on in their school years, as they enter primary school, issues still arise that they are already spending too much time in front of screens to no avail. It is in our power to help them to have a correct attitude towards technology, to find their balance, being aware of both the advantages and the potential risks. This balance must also be found in the classroom, where technology must be used in a balanced way alongside traditional learning methods to achieve optimal results. Based on an evaluation research, the article contributes to the understanding of the impact of the use of digital educational applications on students of the preparatory class. It is a starting point for improving the educational process in schools, of interest not only from the perspective of educational policies and decision-making in education, but also for teachers and parents, for the immediate benefit of preparatory class students. The changes start from the awareness of the extraordinary impact that digital educational applications have on the motivation to learn and the level of performance of preparatory class students.
