摘　　要：The integration of digital devices into educational environments has sparked a concerning trend,namely the widespread practice of multitasking among students during instructional sessions.Despite the plethora of empirical studies and theoretical frameworks addressing this phenomenon,there remains a need for comprehensive research elucidating the nuanced interplay between multitasking behaviors and academic performance.This study seeks to fill this gap by offering a synthesized examination of existing literature and theoretical perspectives.To unravel the complex dynamics underlying multitasking with digital devices and its impact on classroom learning outcomes,this study employs a multifaceted research approach.Drawing upon both literature studies and library research methodologies,the research endeavors to capture the breadth and depth of students’multitasking behaviors.Observation will be administered to gauge the frequency and nature of digital distractions,while qualitative systematic analysis will provide rich insights into students’motivations and cognitive processes during multitasking episodes.Preliminary analyses reveal a concerning correlation between multitasking behaviors and diminished academic performance.Students who engage in concurrent digital activities during instructional sessions exhibit lower grades,reduced comprehension,and impaired information retention compared to their focused counterparts.Moreover,qualitative data shed light on the underlying motivations driving multitasking tendencies,including perceived task efficiency,social connectivity,and habitual smartphone use patterns.Thus,this study underscores the urgent need for proactive interventions to address the detrimental effects of multitasking on classroom learning outcomes.By synthesizing empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks,the research provides valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of multitasking behaviors and their ramifications for academic performance.Moving forward,educators and policymakers must priorit
