dc.description.abstractThis study explores the perceptions of smartphone use among pupils, teachers, and parents in primary schools within Chikankata District, Zambia. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions involving 150 pupils, 20 teachers, and 30 parents. The findings reveal a spectrum of attitudes towards smartphones: while many participants recognize the potential benefits for educational engagement and communication, concerns about distractions, misuse, and unequal access persist. Teachers identify challenges in integrating smartphones effectively due to limited training and infrastructural constraints. Parents express ambivalence regarding screen time and its effects on children’s behavior and learning. The study underscores the need for comprehensive digital literacy initiatives, improved infrastructure, and inclusive policy frameworks to optimize the educational advantages of smartphone use while mitigating associated risks in primary education
