Restriction on cell phone use in schools: opportunities and challenges arising from Law No. 15.100/2025 and the perceptions of teachers in Aquidauana-MS

Authors

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges arising from the implementation of Law No. 15.100/2025, which restricts the use of cell phones in schools, and teachers' perceptions of this restriction. The qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research was conducted through content analysis of theoretical frameworks and semi-structured interviews with teachers in the city of Aquidauana-MS. The results show consensus regarding the need for balance in the use of cell phones in the school environment, highlighting the importance of critical and guided use. Teachers recognize the importance of the Law, but at the same time understand the importance of cell phones as a potentially educational tool, provided they are integrated into planned pedagogical practices. It is concluded that neither absolute prohibition nor unrestricted use is adequate; conscious regulation is necessary to enable the pedagogical use of cell phones in a way that aligns with educational objectives.
