Impactos do uso excessivo de telas na saúde e no desempenho acadêmico de estudantes universitários
Impacts of Excessive Screen Use on Health and Academic Performance of University Students
Abstract
O artigo analisou os impactos do uso excessivo de telas em universitários, abordando efeitos físicos, cognitivos e emocionais e suas implicações acadêmicas. O trabalho baseou-se em questionário aplicado a 246 estudantes após uma palestra em uma universidade federal mineira. Para as análises, criou-se 4 categorias: relação entre uso excessivo de telas e desempenho acadêmico; efeitos sobre a saúde física; impactos sobre saúde emocional; estratégias de redução do tempo de tela. Os resultados mostraram associação entre o uso frequente de dispositivos e sintomas como visão cansada, dores, ansiedade e falta de concentração. No campo acadêmico, verificou-se que o uso de dispositivos em sala de aula, muitas vezes para finalidades não pedagógicas, representa um desafio adicional ao processo de aprendizagem, promovendo a distração e reduzindo o envolvimento, o tempo de estudo e a atenção.
Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem; Excesso de Telas; Desempenho Acadêmico.
Abstract
The article analyzed the impacts of excessive screen use among university students, addressing physical, cognitive, and emotional effects as well as their academic implications. The study was based on a questionnaire administered to 246 students after a lecture at a federal university in Minas Gerais, Brazil. For analysis, four categories were established: the relationship between excessive screen use and academic performance; effects on physical health; impacts on emotional health; and strategies for reducing screen time. The results showed an association between frequent device use and symptoms such as eye strain, pain, anxiety, and lack of concentration. In the academic context, it was found that device use in the classroom—often for non-educational purposes—represents an additional challenge to the learning process, fostering distraction and reducing engagement, study time, and attention.
Keywords: Learning; Excessive Screen Use; Academic Performance.
