Abstract	Smartphones have become a part of the individuals in all societies. This is also true for students. Studies on the effects of the use of smart devices in educational environments, especially during the course, have begun to attract the attention of researchers. The aim of this research is to seek answer to the question of the positive effects of the use of smartphones in the education processes of graduate students. In the case study, which was designed as a Type 1 study, 29 students who received masters training in 10 different departments in the Educational Sciences Institute of one of Ankara's established universities were involved. According to the opinions obtained through the feedback form from participants who declared that most of them use a smartphone for more than 4 hours a day, it was determined that they used these devices for searching the subject or the term of the course, academic research, following course materials, taking notes via photographs or voice notes, communicating with peers and instructors, and so on. Besides smartphones are also used for actions like notifications that are not relevant to the course, or clock control because student is bored. (As Provided).
