Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">Students are aware of the use of technology in the learning process, and they are generally referred to as digital natives. However, there are challenges associated with the availability of internet access as a learning process to both university students and teachers inside and outside the classroom. One of such challenges is students’ ability to access unrelated activities which is known as cyberslacking. In the education sector, this process refers to the use of technology for unrelated academic activities. Studies associated with this activity are significantly conducted in western countries, but it is still limited to the Indonesia education environment. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the cyberslacking behavior of students in Indonesia and its relationship to their academic performances. It also determines the relationship between media multi-tasking efficacy and self-regulated learning. The results showed that there is a significant influence between media multi-tasking efficacy and self-regulated learning with cyberslacking. Furthermore, there is a negative influence between cyberslacking and the academic performance of students in Indonesia. This research adds references to studies on cyberslacking in the scope of education and provides input for universities to develop the management of information and communication technology used in the learning process.</p>
Highlights
The growth of information and communication technologies (ICT) has led to many significant changes in life, both in daily work, and educational environments
The first hypothesis proposed in this research is that media multi-tasking efficacy (MME) affects students' cyberslacking behavior (CS)
The results showed in the table 4 that there was a direct effect between students' multitasking efficacy on their cyberslacking behavior (β = 0.549, ρ = 0.000)
Summary
The growth of information and communication technologies (ICT) has led to many significant changes in life, both in daily work, and educational environments. In Indonesia, the projection data for internet use for 2017-2023 shows a yearly increase. Statistical data for 2019 showed a 13.3% increase in the number of internet users from 84 million in 2018, to 95.2 million. In 2019, the number of internet users in Indonesia grew by 12.6% with 107.2 million users compared to 2018 (Anam & Pratomo, 2019). Another survey carried out by Simanjuntak et al (2019) showed that 89% of internet users are students. The Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) found that 49.52% of users are between the ages of 19-34 years, with a significant percentage being students (Bohang, 2018)
