Abstract

The pervasiveness of digital devices in almost every facet of student and faculty life leads to the integration of technology in teaching and learning practices of contemporary educational institutions. As an alternative strategy of technology integration, “Bring Your Own Device” involves the introduction of personal digital devices in numerous educational activities and transforms students’ learning experiences, behavioural responses and aspects of wellbeing. Due to the crucial role of tutors in the implementation of educational strategy, the present study examined the perceptions of 207 educators teaching in 9 post-secondary educational institutions in Greece with respect to the potential effects of “Bring your Own Device” on students’ learning, behaviour and wellbeing. Overall, the findings reveal that educators recognize the positive impact of “Bring your Own Device” initiatives on students’ learning, but demonstrate low agreement with the potential negative effects on students’ behaviour and wellbeing. Their perceptions are shaped, to a great extent, by individual characteristics and circumstances faced such as gender, familiarity with new technology, prior knowledge of “Bring you Own Device” and educational level in which they are teaching.

The variable “level of education” served as a rough measure of the educational context in Greece. It is hypothesized that educational context is shaped by the level of education because of probable differences in aspects such as entrance requirements and previous academic achievement of students, tutor selection criteria and facilities.
