초등학생의 스마트폰 의존도에 따른 스마트폰 사용 실태 분석

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the ‘dependence on smartphones’ of elementary school students and analyze the ‘actual status of smartphone use’ based on the analyzed ‘dependence on smartphones’ to provide basic data for guidance related to smartphone use. The user group ratio of ‘smartphone dependence’ was highest in the ‘general user group’, followed by the ‘potential risk user group’ and ‘high risk user group’, and there was no statistically significant difference by gender. First, the ‘actual status of smartphone use’ according to ‘smartphone dependence’ was first, ‘the biggest reason for purchasing a smartphone’ in all user groups was ‘communication with family or friends,’ and there was no statistically significant difference. Second, the higher the ‘dependence on smartphones,’ the more time spent using smartphones, the rate of inability to control smartphone use increased, the proportion and importance of smartphones increased, and there was a statistically significant difference. Third, the 'positive aspect of smartphones' was 'able to contact from anywhere' in all user groups, and the 'negative aspect of smartphones' was 'health problems' in 'all users' and 'general users'. , the 'overdependence risk group' had the most 'reduced conversation time with family', and there was a statistically significant difference in all of them. As for ‘functions commonly used in smartphones,’ as ‘dependence on smartphones’ increases, ‘watching Internet broadcasts’ and ‘listening to games, webtoons, and music’ were more common than using smartphones as a means of communication. From the results above, continuous efforts are needed not only through elementary school education but also at home so that elementary school students can form awareness and habits of proper smartphone use.
