Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the use of smart phones and their relationship with self-efficacy and academic
achievement among students in 5th to 6th grade.
Methods: 954 students in 5th to 6th grade were selected from three elementary schools in K City through purposive sampling. Data of 591 respondents were analyzed by x2 test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN program.
Results: First, 64% of the students possessed a smart phone and female students used their phone more than male students. 47.5% of the students said they first used a smartphone in their 5th grade and 11.7% said in their 6th grade. Second, heavier use of smart phones was related to a lower level of self-efficacy (p<.001). Third, the more the students used a smart phone, the less they achieved in academic performance (Korean language: p<.001, mathematics: p<.01). Finally, the biggest factor influencing smart phone addiction was longer use of smart phones. In addition, lower self-efficacy and lower ability to adapt to difficult tasks were the factors influencing the increase in smart phone addiction. Less use of smart phones and higher self-efficacy resulted in higher achievement in academic performance.
Conclusion: It is essential to decrease students’ use of smart phones and improve their self-efficacy and academic performance. Intervention programs to reduce the use of smart phones should include a profound interest, a personality-oriented educational environment and sufficient dialogues with students at home, schools and the local society, beyond simple regulations to prevent adverse effects.
