Students, digital devices and success
In today's world, the digital landscape plays a crucial role in children's lives,
offering opportunities for education, socialising and entertainment. However, it also
poses risks such as cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content and breaches
of privacy. There are also concerns that excessive screen time can impact children's
social and emotional development, leading to debates about the quality of their interactions.
Recent findings from the PISA survey further highlight a negative correlation between
leisurely digital device use at school and academic performance. This OECD brochure
“Students, digital devices and success” collates the latest research on digital devices
and education from across the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills to support
countries efforts to set policies in this area
