Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented changes to the education system, forcing students to adapt to new ways of learning and increasing their reliance on smart devices. This has raised questions about the impact of smart device utilization on various factors related to student learning, including motivation, growth mindset, self-regulation, and well-being, which we aim to explore. A systematic literature review was conducted for analysis. In particular, it seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities arising from the increased use of smart devices for learning, and to examine the potential impact of smart device use on students’ motivation, mindset, and well-being. This paper examines intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, social cognition, and emotion. Existing research will be utilized to investigate variables related to learning motivation, including cognitive factors and emotions. Finally, this paper will examine the relationship between well-being and academic success and the potential impact of smart device usage on student well-being. In conclusion, to support learning motivation and well-being, it is important for educators to promote a growth mindset and to monitor changes in device use to assess their impact on student outcomes. By taking these actions, educators can help students develop the skills and resilience needed to succeed in these new learning environments and succeed in the future.
