Currently, in many parts of the world school projects are being implemented to improve learning efficiency with technology.
This way, The governments of different countries have decided to change the books by tablets or laptops in order to digitize student material, but it seems that it is not such an effective strategy.
According to a recent study conducted by the Swedish government, the ability to concentrate decreases significantly when children use electronic devices.
The statistics are more impressive than you can imagine and it is possible that schools will return to the era of books after this.

Adapting the study method is a great idea, but it seems that It won’t work until society is ready for it..
The reason for this is found in a recent study carried out by teachers in Sweden, where a plan has already been launched to transition from digital content and screens to traditional textbooks.
From the outside it seems that it is fine and that it is something new, but considering the results of recent research, it is a resounding failure.
The Government is making efforts to reduce screen time. The Swedish National Agency for Education was instructed to propose changes to the curriculum, meaning that education should be essentially screen-free for children. – Eurídce Sweden Unit.
The new plan is conduct studies and train students before they can use devices electronics. This is because statistics indicate that they are only affecting memory, attention and understanding, as well as generating sleep disorders.
That is, the same tablets that were part of the new educational model are responsible for there being a drastic decline in school levels in the last decade.
Due to this situation, it has been decided invest more 15 million euros for physical books in educational institutions to reverse the negative effect of digital content. However, this transition from technology to books will not be easy.
Sweden is not the only European country that has used this type of learning for many years, Spain and others have also executed these projectsso there could be a similar effect that will likely be studied soon and steps taken to fix it.
It’s not that technology is absolutely bad, but rather the excess of it. Therefore, a balance should be found between both models for optimal learning. Likewise, this is news that will surely change things in many parts of the world.
