Abstract

This article emerges from a research about the influence of cell phones technologies on high school students' performance. This research was conducted under the mixed approach in the classification of dominant mixed. Regarding the instruments for gathering the information, a questionnaire was applied to sixteen students from seventh grade, observations of lessons were made, and an interview to the Science teacher of a High School in the San Jose central area was held. Some of the contributions were highlighted in matrixes and compared through informers' triangulation and the theory. Among the main findings, they indicate that cell phones are electronic devices that are commonly present in these Science classes, affecting the students' performance of the sample.
