Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out the views of the students and academicians on the use of smart phones during the course. In the quantitative work, the data was gathered using a demographic information form and scale which was developed by the researchers and applied on 260 students and 15 academicians. The information was analyzed by utilizing F-test, t-test and r-test techniques. Whilst 96.6% of the students have mobile phones, 94.6% have social media accounts. 23.5% of them are using their phones 6 hours or more a day. There is a considerable difference between the prohibition of usage of smart phones, the reasons to use the phones and the relation between academician-student. The usage of smart phones during the course affects the relation between the academician and student. The academicians should find ways of turning this desire of students to use smart phones into an advantage and thus make it a contribution to the course.
