Analysis of the Use of Mobile Phones on the Understanding of Learning Concepts of Elemantary School Student

This study aims to analyze the impact of mobile phone use on the understanding of elementary school students' learning concepts at SDN Kg Cirebon City. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of increasing mobile phone use by students at an early age, which has a direct or indirect impact on the effectiveness of the learning process. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results show that mobile phone use makes a positive contribution when used in a targeted learning context, such as access to educational videos, learning apps, and interactive exercises. However, when use is not controlled, students tend to experience distractions and have difficulty understanding concepts in depth. In addition, digital literacy factors and parental and teacher supervision play an important role in directing the use of mobile phones to be more productive. This research emphasizes the importance of digital literacy training in elementary schools and the need for educational and structured technology use policies in the primary education environment. These findings are expected to be a reference in designing technology-based learning strategies effectively and responsibly.
