The Effect Of Smart Phone Addiction On E- Learning Of The Students

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of smartphone addiction on e-learning among secondary school students, specifically focusing on class XI and XII students. A total sample of 200 students (100 male and 100 female) from higher secondary schools was selected. The study employed standardized tools: the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS–VAM) developed by Vijayshri and Masaud Ansari, and the E-Learning Scale (ELS–MKM) developed by Mahesh Kumar Muchhal. The research design followed a 2×2 factorial approach and applied statistical methods including mean, standard deviation, correlation, and t-test to evaluate the effect of smartphone addiction on e-learning. The findings reveal no statistically significant effect of smartphone addiction on e-learning performance in either class XI or XII students, for both genders.
