Abstract

This research paper aims to determine both the percentage of elementary school students who utilize visual electronic devices (such as desktops, tablets, smartphones and televisions) for learning purposes and their percentage in utilizing these devices for homework assistance. A descriptive approach was employed with data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 170 fifth-grade students. These students were randomly selected from schools in Giza Governorate during the 2024/2025 academic year. The findings revealed that a high percentage of students use visual electronic devices for learning purposes, with smartphones being the most frequently used device, reported by 85% of students. Television is the second most commonly used device for learning, with 64% of students relying on it, followed by tablets at 62%, and desktops as the least preferred, used by 56% of students. Additionally, a moderate to high percentage of students use these devices for homework assistance. Among these, smartphones are the most widely used, with 71% of students relying on them for homework, followed by tablets used by 52% of students. Televisions rank third, used by 45% of students, and desktops are the least utilized for homework support, used by 42% of students.
