Abstract

This study assessed the influence of electronic gadget usage on the attention and focus of kindergarten pupils. It aimed to analyze gadget engagement, and levels of attention and focus as perceived by parents, serving as a basis for an enhancement plan. Findings showed that gadget usage was generally "occasional", with frequent use for entertainment and moderate adult supervision. Despite this, pupils demonstrated a high level of attention and focus in three key areas: duration, task completion, and engagement. These results suggest that although gadgets are part of children's routines, structured home environments and responsive parenting mitigate their negative impacts. The study concludes that balanced screen exposure, coupled with strong parental involvement and structured learning routines, supports sustained attention and task persistence in early learners. An enhancement plan is recommended to guide parents and teachers in maintaining healthy digital habits and fostering focused learning behaviors.
