Developing Attention through the Virtual World Redefines Education.
At the beginning of early schooling, the attention span is still low, and children find it difficult to capture simultaneously in the field of attention verbal explanations and intuitive pictures, the actions they and their peers take, the actual action and its outcome. Pupils often find it difficult to voluntarily direct their attention from the superficial, immediate, situational to the essential. Focusing attention can also be influenced by fatigue caused by overloaded tasks or passive listening in lessons. Today most children regularly use gadgets and social networks for educational and entertainment purposes, and pandemic-related restrictions have increased children’s reliance on technologies to connect with the outside world. The impact of technology on children is becoming harder to measure as the pace of technological innovation increases.
