    INTRODUCTION

    These days, more and more students are bringing cell phones to class. Even elementary school-
    aged students have cell phones in their pockets and backpacks. The rule to ban cell phones in
    classrooms opens again the debate about whether or not students should have cell phones in
    school. It also brings up the question of whether it’s possible for technology to exist in the
    classroom as a learning tool—rather than simply a distraction. (Oxford Learning, 2019).

    The use of gadgets, in early childhood today has become common in the daily lives of modern
    society. Even though it has benefits, it is undeniable that in fact gadget actually has negative
    effects on the growth and development process of students. Using gadgets can even ruin the
    moral and character building of students which are not potentially expected by parents. This
    paper aims to describe the effects of gadget prohibition on the character education of early
    childhood. This study belongs to descriptive quantitative where the data were gathered
    through library research and interviews. The result showed that giving access to gadget in
    students may contribute to positive and negative impacts. Students may have better motor
    skills, improved cognitive skills and competition skills while on the contrary, children may face
    serious issues such as speech delay, attention deficit, learning problems, even mental disorders
    that can impact to their characters. (Meta Keumala et al., 2018)

    The use of Gadgets inside a school environment has many benefits for both students and
    teachers and generally provides many conveniences in the teaching and learning process.
    Gadgets also have a great contribution for learning process, such as in evaluating student
    learning. (Yonanda Avelia, 2019)

    Despite the positive effects of gadget use in the school, there are many negative effects about
    it. First is they are distractions, second is they present as possible health issues, and third is they
    promote cyber bullying, cheating and theft. (Michael Trucano, 2015)
