When Smartphones Remind You to Learn
Do smartphone reminders encourage pupils to engage regularly with learning material? Researchers at the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education investigated this question. Their conclusion: simple reminders such as push notifications tend to have a negative effect on learning times. It is true that pupils learn more often on days when they are reminded than on days without reminders. Overall, however, a control group that was never reminded studied on more days. The study was presented in the journal “Science of Learning” and is freely available

Students are better able to regulate themselves in lessons that they consider to be particularly well implemented. This is the conclusion drawn from a study by the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education, published in the journal "Learning and Instruction". The link between teaching quality and self-regulation tends to be particularly true for pupils who have problems controlling their behaviour and following lessons, for example due to ADHD symptoms.
