Increa
sed
use
of
the
Internet
and
mobile
pho
nes
is
undermining
pupils’
ability
for
independent study and
promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.
Cranfield
School
of
Managementfound
almost
six
in
ten
schoolchildrenwere
copying
information
directly from websites for homework
tasks without properly reading it.
More
than
a
quarter
thought
it
was
an
acceptable
practice,
even
though they know it was
considered plagiarism(
剽窃
).
The study, based on a
sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18
at
a
secondary
school
in
the
Midlands,
raised
concerns
that
modern
technology was having
a destructive effect on young people.
Andrew
Kakabadse,
professor
of
international
management
development
at
Cranfield,
said,
“Our
researc
h
shows
that
technology
obsession(
痴迷
)prevents
spelling
skills,
encourages
plagiarism,
and
disturbs classroom learning.
”
“Despite school policies
restricting mobile phone usage, students use the
phone frequently, with
the
majority
making
calls
from
the
toilets.
The
mobile phone
continues
to
be
a
main
channel
of
social communication during the school
day. ”
The
report
revealed
that
so-
called“text
-
speak
”was
increasingly
finding
it
was
into
pupils’
school
work.
Three in
ten students admit to using text message
shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in ess
ays and
classroom
tasks.
It followed a study earlier this year
that found almost half of the teachers failed to
understand some
pupils’
writing because it was so full of
confusing language.
Phrases
such as“innit”and“Gr8”were
regularly
found in school work.
The
Cranfield study found that mobile use was so
common that many pupils chose to ignore school
rules on phones.
More than a third said they would use
their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters
said they
would not even make an excuse
to leave class to answer a phone call.
