Many teachers in Nghe An do not support the use of cell phones during class.

Many opinions say that using phones in teaching is unreasonable. In the photo: A class of a teacher and students at Hermann Gmeiner Vinh School. Photo: Duc Anh

Teacher Mai Van Dat - Secretary of the Youth Union of Ethnic Minority Boarding High School No. 2:

The policy of allowing students to use cell phones during class is a policy of “little benefit, much harm”, and right after the policy was introduced, many teachers and parents disagreed. In my opinion, if we allow the use of cell phones, it will be inadvertentlypupilwill focus more on using mobile phones and interacting with friends, even filming teachers' lessons in class. It is known that the Ministry's policy is to use phones to search for information. However, we can use it in many different ways and students canInternet accessFor these reasons, we do not agree with the policy of using mobile phones during class time.

As for our school, the school's policy is to prohibit students from using mobile phones and parents have to commit to accompany the school as soon as students enter grade 10. To facilitate communication with home, students will be allowed to use the phone in the school cafeteria every week. Information can be updated through the radio program on Saturday evenings or in the school's computer room every Thursday afternoon.

It is difficult to completely ban high school students from using cell phones. However, I support not using cell phones during class.because they will lack concentration in listening to lectures.

Last year, I taught 12th grade and when solving some difficult problems, I still let students use it. However, during that process, I had to control them and often go around to check if they were surfing other networks. But with a large class, it was still difficult to control, some students still avoided the teacher to do their own work. In my opinion, to use the phone effectively, we should apply it to studying at home. For example, for some exercises, I still encourage students to use Google Translate, use the dictionary or go to online learning sites.

Student Tran Thi Thu Tra - Nguyen Truong To High School (Hung Nguyen):

If high school students use their phones too much, it will greatly affect their studies. Because, phones today have many negative effects on students such as wasting time, decreasing their studies and that will create a bad image for themselves.

I am also concerned that improper use of the phone can lead to conflicts online and cause school violence. Personally, I think that effective use of the phone must come from the awareness of the students and must be supervised by the family and school.

In my opinion, Circular 32 of the Ministry allowing secondary and high school students to use mobile phones is a rather innovative viewpoint in organizing teaching and learning for teachers and students. In terms of the future, this may be a good and appropriate viewpoint. However, for secondary school students, their age is still young, their awareness is not yet mature, so using mobile phones during class is not appropriate for many reasons: at this age, students have not yet determined the legitimate purpose of using mobile phones during class, even if the teacher allows it. Therefore, when teachers are not paying attention, students can be distracted, play games or watch videos, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, for secondary school students, I think this regulation should not be applied.

For high school students, it can depend on the specific situation and each subject to use flexibly.

If students use their phones according to the teacher's instructions, it will be good. Otherwise, it will be very messy. Personally, I do not support this policy. Because students only go to school for one session. So the main time is for studying, and recess time must be for socializing.connect with friends and teachers.

In addition, students have long used smartphones to access information and use them at home. Therefore, if they do not use their phones in class, it will not limit their ability to access information.

Later, we think there will be some special lessons on specific subjects where students can search for information online and under the guidance of teachers. However, we only use it in a limited way and it is only suitable for club activities, extracurricular activities or group activities./.
