Mixed reception to college phone ban
Print Edition
A REGULATION released by authorities in east China鈥檚 Jiangxi Province, which bans college students from taking electronic devices such as mobile phones and iPads into classes, has stirred a heated debate.
An online survey on the issue has shown that the numbers of netizens for and against the regulation are equally matched. Some said mobile phones usually prevent students from concentrating on classes.
鈥淚 would often do some things like checking my social media out of habit as soon as I had a phone in my hand,鈥 Guo Jing, a college student, said.
Others said mobile phones can help students.
Banning college students from taking mobiles into classes is hard to enforce, as many of them need phones to help them study, said Xiong Bingqi, vice president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute.
鈥淚f a teacher simply reads from the textbooks, students will struggle to concentrate,鈥 he said.
The issue has led to calls for teachers to improve their methods.
鈥淎s college professors, we should reflect on how our teaching is received by students and should enhance our teaching quality to help our students be more engaged,鈥 said Zheng Ning, teacher with Communication University.
