A PISA study reveals that almost half of Portuguese youth already uses artificial intelligence for studying. This data comes in the context of international assessments carried out on 15-year-old students, which allow for comparing performance and study habits between countries.
The study also shows that a significant portion of students get distracted during classes, particularly through the use of screens and electronic devices. This distraction represents a challenge for the Portuguese education system.
The PISA results indicate a clear correlation between the time students spend distracted by screens and their academic performance. Students who get distracted more during classes show worse results in international assessments compared to those who maintain greater concentration.
This phenomenon arises at a time when technology and artificial intelligence are increasingly present in young people's lives, raising questions about how to integrate these tools in a balanced way into the learning process without compromising the attention and focus necessary for academic activities.
