The study used the descriptive approach, and the questionnaire as a tool for collecting information, and it was conducted on a sample of (68) teachers. It concluded that the science teachers' awareness degree of the dangers of digital and technological addiction on their students, according to the study sample's viewpoint, is high. It also found that there are no differences in the science teachers' awareness degree of the risks of digital and technological addiction on primary school students according to their demographic variables (qualification, years of experience). Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended activating the role of primary school teachers in helping students to address any contrary behavior they may be exposed to through digital societies.
