About

This study aims to investigate the effect of mosaic puzzle application on nomophobia in middle school children aged 12-14.

The data for the study will be collected over a 5-week period. The experimental group children will be asked to play mosaic puzzle games for 1 hour, 2 days a week for 5 weeks, at a time deemed appropriate by the school and under the supervision of the researcher. The control group children will not be given any intervention; they will only be observed, and a final test will be administered at the end of the 5 weeks.
