As technology advances across the United States, schools should consider not only the benefits of using screened devices but also the short- and long-term effects on student health. Both the positive and negative effects of using devices are often intensified for students in rural schools, as online learning and the use of e-therapy becomes more prevalent. The purpose of this study was to investigate stakeholders’ perceptions of device use in one eighth-grade cohort in a rural school, differences between device use by students with and without disabilities, and to provide an awareness of student screen time exposure and its potential consequences. Basic qualitative methods were used to assess student, teacher, and parent perceptions of screen time use and perceptions of the recommended daily allowance of screen time in an eighth-grade cohort in a rural western New York school. Findings suggest that students, parents, and teachers perceive screen time as “excessive.” Implications for practice and future inquiry are reported.

学生和感知屏幕时间：农村学区的学生多久看一次屏幕设备？

随着美国科技的进步，学校不仅应该考虑使用筛查设备的好处，还应该考虑对学生健康的短期和长期影响。随着在线学习和电子疗法的使用变得更加普遍，使用设备的积极和消极影响往往对农村学校的学生更加强烈。本研究的目的是调查利益相关者对农村学校一个八年级学生使用设备的看法、残疾学生和非残疾学生使用设备的差异，并提供对学生屏幕时间暴露及其潜在后果的认识. 基本的定性方法用于评估学生、教师、家长对屏幕时间使用的看法以及对纽约西部农村学校八年级学生推荐的每日屏幕时间津贴的看法。调查结果表明，学生、家长和老师认为屏幕时间“过多”。报告了对实践和未来调查的影响。
