Operational Definition for "Examining" in the Context of Cellphone Use During Class Hours (Qualitative)
"Examining" refers to the systematic observation and analysis of students' behaviors and interactions related to cellphone usage during class hours. This includes identifying instances of cellphone use, the context in which cellphones are used (e.g., for texting, social media, or educational purposes), and the impact of such usage on student engagement and learning outcomes. Data will be collected through qualitative methods such as classroom observations, student interviews, and focus groups, focusing on the frequency, duration, and nature of cellphone interactions during instructional time. The goal is to understand the implications of cellphone use on classroom dynamics and student participation.
