abstract

This paper explores the perceptions of teachers regarding the impact of technology on the emotions and behaviors of children and young people. As technology continues to infiltrate every aspect of modern life, its role in shaping the psychological and emotional landscapes of younger generations is increasingly apparent. Through qualitative research, we aim to understand the insights of educators on how digital tools and platforms are influencing the emotional development, social interactions, and behavioral tendencies of students in both positive and negative ways. The study highlights key findings on how technology shapes empathy, attention span, emotional regulation, and social relationships among children and adolescents. It also explores the potential for technology to enhance learning experiences while cautioning against its overuse.
