\u201cIt seems so logical to make clear agreements about mobile phones at school,\u201d says Lobke Vlaming. \u201cBut in practice, schools do not manage to do this. I propose a \u2018no, unless approach\u2019 where students may only use their mobile phones if it is didactically necessary or if something important happens in the family.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"extra_inhoud_blok","inhoud":"
The topic \u2018mobile phones in class\u2019 is getting more attention, both in the media and in the House of Representatives. Should there be a legal ban, or do mobile phones add something to education? Members of the permanent committee on Education, Culture and Science wanted more information about mobile phone use in class. They invited scientific experts and experienced people to look at possible next steps.<\/p>\n
During the roundtable on April 12 in the House of Representatives, they responded to questions like \u2018How addictive is the use of mobile phones? Can you teach students to deal with this (in class)?\u2019 and \u2018What is known about multitasking with mobile phone use and how does this affect learning (in class)?\u2019 The opinions of experts and representatives of parents, teachers, and students differed on whether to set a ban.<\/p>\n
Research among parents showed that opinions are also divided on the use of mobile phones at school and\/or in class. \u201cSetting a ban on use is actually a weak solution,\u201d says the Director of Ouders & Onderwijs. \u201cSchools do not manage to make policy and enforce it. They still shift the responsibility too much to individual teachers and parents. There is really a role for school governing bodies to make clear agreements. First with a mandatory policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
