Résumé:
Classroom management in the digital age can be a significant challenge, even more so in the context of the health crisis we face. Distance learning has given students a lot of latitude in using mobile devices (phone, computer, tablet) during class. The return to campus has been destabilizing for many students, some of whom now take for granted that their cell phone is a learning tool, while others have simply become accustomed to using it at all times during class. How to interpret such irrepressible cell phone use in class? What to do when faced with it? This article first proposes a reflection on the topic, taking into consideration both the context of the coronavirus pandemic and the literature on self-regulated learning. It also presents possible avenues of intervention, without seeking to impose one single truth.
Rather, this text attempts to suggest contrasting avenues that can inspire a diversity of teachers according to their pedagogical preferences or classroom management styles.(AQPC)
