Application of Software Solutions for Monitoring and Controlling Student Activity
Sažetak
The widespread adoption of digital technologies in education has significantly reshaped the teaching and learning process, introducing both new opportunities and challenges related to classroom management, student engagement, and online safety. Software solutions for monitoring and controlling student activity provide educators with the ability to supervise digital device usage in real time, regulate internet access, block selected websites or applications, and maintain alignment between technology use and instructional goals. These systems contribute to reducing distractions, enhancing cybersecurity, and fostering a more structured digital learning environment. This paper presents an analysis of the implementation and impact of such software solutions in educational settings, supported by an empirical survey conducted among teachers and students. The survey examines perceptions of effectiveness, usability, and ethical implications, with particular emphasis on privacy, transparency, and trust. The results indicate differing perspectives between teachers and students, highlighting the need for clearly defined usage policies and informed consent. Overall, the study concludes that software-based monitoring tools, when implemented responsibly and in accordance with ethical and legal standards, can improve instructional efficiency and learning outcomes while preserving students’ rights.
