  abstract = {The rapid integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into the educational system (schools and universities) over the latest decades indicates that new technologies bring overall positive inputs into the educational process, advantageously altering the traditional way of teaching and learning. The benefits of the Internet in education have been consistently recognized in the literature (instant access to information, networking, new learning resources), but, at the same time, numerous scientific papers revealed its negative effects associated with the excessive use or misuse which may adversely affect one’s psychological health (addiction, cognitive disorders, exhaustion), social life (social isolation) or academic performance (reflected in poor engagement, lower grades or even academic failure). Therefore, the Internet can be considered a double-edged sword, which can either increase or diminish students’ academic engagement and, consequently, their educational attainments. In this context, the study aims to explore the dynamics of Internet use among Romanian youth and to assess the impact on their academic engagement.},
