Topic: The impact of BYOD technology on the quality of teaching and learning.
“Schools, faced with the challenge of preparing students for life in a changing society, need
to provide opportunities for children to incorporate new technologies as a natural part of their
play and learning” (Swaminathan & Yelland, 2012). According to research conducted by
Selwyn, et.al., 80% of 14-17 year olds are in possession and use smartphones (2017). In
addition to this, many schools have been moving away from the ‘shared’ school-owned
purpose of this paper, ‘mobile devices’ will be referring to all forms or transportable
technology including laptops, tablets, and phones. However, many schools including
Victorian state schooling has opted for policies banning mobile phones in the classrooms, as
well as many other recommendations for appropriate device use. In the key findings and
recommendations of ‘Review into the non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools
– report’, the NSW Government Education website states that “the review team is mindful
that our approaches to the use of such devices in schools must heed international expert
advice […] if we are to adequately prepare children and young people for the digital future
(Carr-Gregg, McLean, & Third, 2020)”. Both views presented are essentially viewing the
same problem from a different angle and yet both have a similar focal point on how to solve
this problem: how teachers effectively practice strategies to minimise disruptive and negative
behaviours while encourage productive and positive ones. This review will be focusing on
how teachers develop or have implemented behaviour management strategies when mobile

The research that will be conducted for this paper will be finding authentic responses to how

Interviews will run between 15-20 minutes; however, sessions are varied longer if a

The protocols above are based on a qualitative data collection methodology, using thorough
and authentic responses from educators. The interview is designed as a relaxed conversation-
style procedure to allow the participants to freely express and critically reflect on their
and the wider teacher attitude on the evolution of BYOD technology in the classroom. The
possible interview questions provide in-depth enquiry on the issues which are presented in
the literature review. This study allows opportunities for further research and behaviour
strategy reform which can be applied to other areas of education, creating viable resources for
