Abstract:

This research focuses on exploring the impact of mobile technology on the educational environment, specifically the challenges associated with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies in schools. BYOD policies allow students to use their own mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, to access educational resources and activities. The aim of this research is to identify the key challenges that may arise in the implementation and operation of a BYOD policy in primary schools, and to suggest possible recommendations for effectively overcoming these challenges.

The research examined various aspects related to BYOD policies, including technical and organisational requirements for implementation, impact on the learning environment and pedagogical approaches. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the current status and approaches to BYOD in schools. The results of this research are based on a questionnaire survey, but also on the personal opinions, observations and insights of educators, parents and students on BYOD policies. Their interpretation aims to contribute to a better understanding of the benefits, but also the challenges, associated with mobile technologies in education and to provide practical suggestions for optimising the use of this type of technology in the school environment.
