There is bad news students who like to use their mobile phones while they study. New research shows that students do not learn very well when they are texting and checking their social media accounts. The research is called: "Mobile Phones the Classroom: Examining the Effects Texting, Twitter, and Message Content Student Learning". Researchers looked at 145 American university students in the classroom. Some of the students used their mobile phones class, while the others had their phones switched . The head researcher, Dr Jeffrey Kuznekoff, said students who did not use their mobile phones while the teacher was talking got higher scores tests they took the end the class.

Kuznekoff said that one the biggest challenges teachers have the classroom is the non-stop battle keeping students working. He said many students felt they needed to be online and checking messages even when they had important work to do class. The researchers said it is very common students to be physically present class, but mentally absent because they are using their mobiles. Kuznekoff said teachers were fighting a "losing battle" because students were more interested social media than learning. The London School Economics did a study England and found that test scores increased six per cent mobile phones were banned in class.
