Difficultés d’attention et de concentration : outil pratique pour les étudiants

Abstract

This study examines the attention and concentration difficulties encountered by high school students at and evaluates the effectiveness of a digital platform, Genial.ly, in helping them overcome these challenges. Based on neuroscience and learning theories, the research aims to determine whether a better understanding of the brain mechanisms behind attention and concentration enables students to manage their own difficulties more effectively. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining questionnaires and interviews with 33 participants aged 15 to 19. Results indicate that 81.8% of students report experiencing attention difficulties, primarily in class and at home. Using Genial.ly helped students gain a better understanding of attentional processes and adopt effective strategies, notably the Pomodoro technique. However, some students found this method stressful. Overall, the study suggests that raising awareness of cognitive mechanisms can enhance attention and concentration, although personalized approaches may be necessary.
