تأثير الإدمان الإلكتروني على التحصيل الدراسي لدى متعلمي الثانوي التأهيلي : التعبير الكتابي نموذجا
This study aims to monitor the impact of electronic addiction on the academic achievement of high school students, using written expression as a model. The study relies on the descriptive-analytical method, which describes the phenomenon under study, analyses the reasons for its formation, and draws conclusions from it. It also uses the statistical method, employing scientific research tools to gather information about the studied phenomenon or problem. This method leverages numerical techniques and methods to collect statistical information about the phenomenon, analyze it, and then provide logical explanations for the collected data. The study population consists of high school students in Midult Directorate in Morocco, with targeted sample of approximately 96 students. For this purpose, a specific questionnaire was developed, scrutinized, and confirmed for reliability, validity, and suitability for measuring the studied phenomenon. The variables were coded and entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for statistical analysis, using the techniques provided by the program. The study concluded that around 70% of the sample spends most of their time online on social media sites or non-educational electronic games, such as war games, at the expense of educational activities. A significant portion of the students admitted to excessive viewing of pornographic content. Additionally, it was found that approximately 47.9% of the sample spends more than five hours daily on electronics, and about 85.4% spends more than two hours daily. The study demonstrated that intensive use of social media, electronic games, and pornographic content leads to health, psychological, and neurological problems, negatively affecting academic achievement, including concentration, writing, and linguistic expression. The study also revealed that schools do not focus on raising students' awareness of the risks of electronic addiction on academic achievement and mental and social health. At the end of the study, a set of recommendations and suggestions were presented to guide students towards the optimal use of electronic technologies and to provide psychological support for those addicted.
