The Use of Smartphones in the Academy Environment of Male Monks Studying at Saint Alphonsus Theologate.

Abstract

Based on the survey results and evaluations of the group, the current use of smartphones among teachers in the Academy is still at an average level. Indeed, with the data and assessments, we can observe both positive and negative aspects of using or not using smartphones. Most teachers are aware of this in their lives. As they mature in their personal and spiritual lives, the majority of teachers still prefer to use smartphones during the Academy phase when mentioned (93.33%). In truth, whether teachers use smartphones or not is not as important as how they utilize their time and modern tools wisely, which God has bestowed upon them. The most crucial factors are their spirit, self-awareness, and effort in learning and spiritual cultivation.
