In other words, the number of people devoting their

According to some reports, the approach to

Priority was given to computer facilities and
other methods of digital communication.
Opinions on this question were divided into several
categories.
The first category included the most students. These
students consider the integration of modern technologies

The third category of students is the smallest. It includes
students who prefer the old teaching methods and
categorically refuse to use modern devices, citing the fact
that many rely too much on phones rather than on their
knowledge, which kills their personal development.
The introduction After analyzing all the data, we compared the
of mobile opinions of the respondents with deviating answers
and the main answers and added the percentages of

replies is 7%. We added 3.5% to the columns:

the opinions was ambiguous, so, 1% was divided into

After summing up, the figures became as follows: the
answer variant "definitely yes" was chosen by 17
people (24.3%), while the answer option "more likely
no than yes" was chosen by 35 respondents (49.3%).
We were really shocked that 11 people (15.3%) of the
total chose reply - "I don't care.. I didn't learn before
the devices came along", as well as the fact that 8
people (11.1%) couldn't express their point of view
and chose the option- "have no idea".
So, we can say that the overwhelming majority
believes that the introduction of mobile devices

assistance in memorizing words and identifying
their precise meaning.
In fact, the number of people using such an
application as Bab.la (12.5%) is decreasing in
comparison with the number using Kahoot
(31.9%). In addition, some of the respondents
shared their most frequently used applications not
offered in the list, such as YouTube, Google,
various platforms for learning foreign languages
("Duolingo", "Lingvist") "Multitran", as well as an
application for creating unusual presentations and
maps ("Canva", "Mindmap"), and so on.
Thus, it is essential for every student to use
educational resources aimed at maintaining their

About a ninth (11.1%) of those questioned

As can be from the graph,the majority of
people rarely use the devices on their own

For what
purposes are Thanks to the graph, we can identify the main reasons

electronic for using electronic devices by students and their teachers in


the educational field. Ironically, the consolidation of the

devices used material passed by passing quizzes is in second place, and in


the first place is the expansion of the range and quality of

Thus, it can be concluded that despite the rich academic

to them at the university. In the third place is the attraction
of attention. It's no secret that in recent years, the "new
generation of teachers" are increasingly using various
presentations with animations, interactive tasks, and much
more to grab the attention of their students. In fourth place is
the unwillingness to carry heavy textbooks. The least popular
answer, which was chosen by only one person, is the
availability of fast Internet on electronic devices.
Drawing on each participant's replies, we concluded that
respondents actively use innovative teaching methods.
