Abstract: This study is in the field of cognitive psychology, focusing on the perception and attention of students during learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the perception and concentration of students in learning, as well as the new contexts created by the development of technology. The perception and concentration of students in learning have changed, and distracting factors have increased. This study hypothesizes that high learning outcomes for students can be achieved through interactive learning and new, inclusive approaches. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods. For this question, questionnaires are created for a particular sample, and for the qualitative method, observations and interviews are conducted from which the necessary data are collected to analyze. The study population comprises the totality of pre-university education students in Tirana, and the study sample consists of three 9-year schools in the city of Tirana and three schools in the Elbasan region, with a total of 5,400 students in these schools. The schools were selected by lot from a total of 112 schools in the city of Tirana and 23 schools in the Elbasan region. Data analysis is conducted using the SPSS program, and for qualitative data, this involves categorizing and classifying the analyzed data. The conclusion is that the factors of perception, concentration, and attention of students in teaching and learning have shifted in favor of distraction, and teachers must ensure that learning incorporates different approaches to counteract the distraction of perception and concentration.
