1. Is this a research paper for a statistics course?
2. Is the question asking just for a description of how you would do the research?
3. Do you have to do actual calculations to come up with a numerical result?

Andre,
There's no brief way to describe this but in a nutshell you need at least two variables one that measures academic performance and one that measures gadget usage.
For academic performance you could use GPA. For gadget usage you could use number of hours per day of gadget usage. Perhaps you would need two categories of gadgets; one that might enhance performance like computer usage for research purposes and one that would detract from performance like game consoles.
You would have to do a sufficiently random sample and test to see if there is any correlation between the variables.
Andre, I teach classes in statistics and probability. I can certainly assist with the design, execution and data analysis with this type of project. If you need more info click on my profile picture and send me a direct message.
