The bibliographic sources of this study are the internet, scientific journals, articles, books and dissertations of experts or previous authors. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between gadget use and student learning achievement. Students who use gadgets excessively tend to have lower learning achievement compared to those who use gadgets moderately.
