Özet

All rights reserved.Understanding the current and future technology use behaviors of secondary school students who started distance education during the pandemic process is essential to their academic success. The aim of this study is to examine the technology use status of 8th-grade students studying at secondary school during the pandemic period. We used the relational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, in the research. Data was collected by sending the scale to 680 students' parents via link. We used the Dijitanaliz (Digital Addiction Scale) developed by Dilci as a data collection tool and the Dijitanaliz technique in the analysis of the data. According to the findings, 1 out of 3 people has digital addiction, while the remaining 2 out of 3 are candidates for addiction. It is an undeniable fact that the duration of digital media usage has increased during the pandemic process.
