Publication Open Access Analyzing the Influence of Technostress on Students: A Systematic Literature Review(2023) Pourahmad, Zahra; Koç, HasanTechnostress is the stress experienced by individuals due to the use of technology. In today's digital age, students are increasingly exposed to technology, which, with many benefits, can also lead to technostress. This can harm students' overall well-being and academic performance. We thus argue that the impact of technology use on students should be better understood, and perform a systematic literature review (SLR), following the guidelines outlined in Okoli's 8-step procedure. Reviewing the articles addressing technostress among students, the findings indicate that technostress can lead to decreased focus and concentration, impaired sleep patterns, social isolation, and a decline in mental health. It can also contribute to a negative attitude towards technology, hindering students' ability to effectively leverage its potential for learning and productivity. The findings also suggest that the experience of stress is influenced by an individual’s perception of a stressful situation. Different individuals may perceive the same situation as stressful or non-stressful, depending on various factors such as time, place, and personal interpretation. This SLR provides a comprehensive and dependable resource for researchers, identifies existing research gaps, and proposes directions for future investigations.Item Restricted This Is My Handwriting : a Study of How Children's Relationship to Handwriting Is Changing and What it Means for the Future of Typography(2023) Tide Laura Stenseng-Molven; Thoma, Sascha; Wittner, Ben; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In an increasingly digitized world, the role of handwriting in education and its impact on typography is undergoing a transformative shift. This thesis aims to address the evolving significance of handwriting by focusing on three key areas: its role in education, its influence on individual identity, and its relevance in the field of typography. The research specifically targets the Latin Script and takes a geographic focus on Norway and Germany, while also incorporating studies from other countries for a comprehensive analysis. In a milieu where digital competence is highly prized, the study explores what could be gained or lost as handwriting becomes a declining practice. By drawing upon both historical perspectives and current societal values, the thesis seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of handwriting's place in the digital age, particularly concerning its cognitive, cultural, and artistic implications.
