Explores ways to enhance young people's health & wellbeing through pedagogy & technologies; Prof @unibirmingham PI @SMART_SchStudy Director @Centre_ub
Birmingham, England
Joined September 2010
The latest paper from the @SMART_SchStudy ⬇️ we found no difference in mental health and wellbeing and other health and education outcomes for pupils attending a school with restricted phone use, with policies not impacting overall phone and media use.
📱 School bans alone not enough to tackle the negative impacts of phone and social media use. Prof Victoria Goodyear (@VGoodyear) & team conducted the first study of its kind which found phone bans don’t lead to lower usage or better student outcomes.
