Abstract
Modern information and communication technologies have progressed quickly. Mobile technology, personal computers and the Internet have become closely linked to human life. However, all these devices and their use bring various pitfalls. Cheating of pupils and students in the school environment has been an interdisciplinary issue linked not only to pedagogy, but also to the whole range of sub-disciplines, like for example social pedagogy or etopedy. The latter disciplines have been significantly interfered by information and communication technologies that bring new forms of illegal school activities. Due to modern technologies we can also trace an increase of inattention of pupils and students and their tendency to distraction during lessons. Signs of Internet addiction among pupils and students can be observed more often. The paper deals with a research focusing on Internet use by secondary school youth and possible risks of using the Internet for them. Three aspects entering the educational process of adolescents are discussed there; Internet use, school cheating and Internet addictive behavior. In addition, a relation between possible risks of Internet use and educational strategies according the Learning Combination Inventory originated by Christine A. Johnston was examined within the research.
Highlights
AdolescencePossibilities of mobile learning and collaborative learning have been increased thanks to evolution of mobile technologies and its market penetration through smartphones and tablets, and due to high acceptance of these technologies among young people
What is the level of Internet addiction among contemporary adolescents by using selected criteria; we were interested whether there is any connection between a student’s attitude to learning and his/ her tendency to Internet abuse and to Internet-related addictive behavior, i.e. we wanted to detect to what extent a concrete students preferred learning style might affect a students tendency to the mentioned potential risks
The discussed topic responds to the rapid increase in implementation efforts in the use of information and communication technologies in education and describes the mutual relation between the student’s educational strategy and the tendency to Internet abuse and to Internet addiction
Summary
AdolescencePossibilities of mobile learning and collaborative learning have been increased thanks to evolution of mobile technologies and its market penetration through smartphones and tablets, and due to high acceptance of these technologies among young people. The end of the last century was marked by a rapid technological development and profound changes in many aspects of human activities. Such changes opened plenty of discussions on the role of education as well as the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning in a new era, and obviously discussions on negative impacts of ICT especially on children and youth (cf Huang et al, 2010; Ryu and Parsons, 2012; Berjón et al, 2015). The authors of the paper aim at a research focusing on ICT usage by adolescents and its related possible user-risks (cf Kalibova et al, 2016).
