The aim of this research is the examination of Hungarian teachers’ relationship with their students' media and smartphones use, based on an electronic questionnaire at several locations in Transylvania. The antecedents of this research: In the 2017–2018 school year, we monitored in Mures, Cluj, Brasov and Harghita counties the media consumer’s habits of students between ages 11-18. 206 individuals participated in this research. In 2012, I already performed a survey on the aforementioned topic. In the research, we assume that we are dealing with a new social phenomenon in relation to the media and we should follow other media consumption rules. The question is if teachers educating the future generations can keep up with this challenge, what their opinion is and how they can deal with this new phenomenon. Is it possible to find a middle ground between prohibition and excessive leniency? Can they use and exploit the possibilities provided by smartphones or rather focus on negative effects and consequences? This survey takes place from the perspective of putting media education into practice. As a teacher of media psychology, I also find very important the data obtained and I would like to emphasize that our society faces a great challenge in terms of media consumption, and this requires a more precise outline of the theoretical approach to media education and the possibilities of practical interventions (prevention, education, awareness of teachers, parents and students).
