Research on the Screen Time Question

Screen time is often treated as a relatively homogeneous, duration-based construct, despite substantial differences in how, why, and in what contexts screens are used (Kaye et al., 2020). During this CIDDL Office Hours session, Dr. James Basham and Dr. Matthew Marino challenged that framing and discussed why understanding screen use in education requires a much more nuanced approach.
