“…From the three instruments used to collect the data, this study only designed a reading comprehension test based on student's need. The other two instruments were the adaptation and combination of well-established questionnaires from previous studies, namely two survey questionnaires on intercultural awareness and social media use (Monroe & Ruan, 2018;Nurudeen et al, 2023;Zorba & Çakir, 2019), (Monroe & Ruan, 2018;Nurudeen et al, 2023;Zorba & Çakir, 2019) respectively, all of which were translated into Indonesian. These questionnaires were selected for their proven reliability and validity in prior research, which ensured the consistency and strength of our data collection process.…”

With explosive growth of technology and globalization, seeing vastly different culture has become part of our daily life as seen in social media. Students’ social media exposure is closely related to their reading activity. Thus, great reading ability leads to great intercultural awareness. This study aimed to investigate EFL students’ intercultural awareness and its relation with varying social media exposure and reading ability. The quantitative study employed ex-post-facto design, with participation of 183 EFL students purposively recruited from Informatics Study Program in a private univerisity in Jakarta, Indonesia. The data collected using online questionnaires and reading tests were analyzed using SPSS 27. With this software, descriptive statistics were made to compare means, percentages, and standard deviations of students’ intercultural awareness. Paired-samples t-tests were run to find out a significant difference in participants’ intercultural awareness by varying social media use and reading ability. The results revealed EFL students’ high intercultural awareness with no significant difference found in students’ varying social media use and with a significant difference found in students’s varying reading ability. In conclusion, EFL students’ intercultural awareness is influenced significantly by their reading abilities rather than their social media exposure.

Technology has become a crucial part of higher education. Higher education institutions have adapted to embrace technology-enabled classroom practices to meet the rising expectations of a varied student population while continually enhancing their learning experience. Mobile technology in higher education, in particular, has the opportunity to provide access to or improve education at a low cost with a less demanding infrastructure configuration. In the current study, the researchers aimed to better understand the intellectual landscape of mobile technology and higher education through bibliometric analysis of research articles published in the Scopus database. This research included a study of 277 papers published in Scopus-indexed peer-reviewed journals between 2006 and 2023. The citation network, co-citation analysis, and publication patterns were examined to discover influential work in this domain. Bibliometric analysis was used to identify the most notable journals, authors, nations, articles, and topics, followed by thoroughly examining the content of 277 papers in the identified clusters. The four major themes enumerated are—Rise of mobile learning, E-learning—the blended and collaborative way, Mobile Technologies in higher education, and Student Engagement in the times of mobile learning. The paper provides interesting insights into these emerging themes, the study will assist regulators, policymakers, and academic scholars in understanding the fundamentals of mobile technology and higher education and identifying pertinent topics for further research.

“…Most studies that looked at the relationship between time spent on the Internet and academic performances have focused on social network sites (SNS), particularly Facebook, since it is the most popular social networking site (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). A meta-analysis of the relationship between SNS use and academic performance among adolescents and young adults found a negative correlation between SNS use and grade point average (GPA), and the relationship was more strongly negatively correlated for females (compared to males) and college students (compared to adolescents) (17,18). However, this meta-analysis also found a positive relationship between SNS use and language test results (18).…”

BACKGROUND: This study identifies the association of internet engagement with weight-related parameters and academic performance among adolescents in Malaysia. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study which collected primary data on academic performance and used secondary data from the second wave of the Malaysian Health and Adolescents Longitudinal Research Team (MyHeARTs) Study cohort. The participants comprised 720 students attending year three public secondary schools from the states of Selangor, Perak and Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Sampling was done using a two-stage cluster sampling design. RESULTS: The prevalence of adolescents who engage on the Internet regularly was 85.3% (n=614). Among those who regularly engaged with the Internet, 53.9% (n=331) spent an average of ≥3 hours per day on the Internet while 46.1% (n=283) of them spent an average of < 3 hours per day on the Internet. Of the total participants, 57.6% (n=415) have a mobile phone or tablet with a data plan. Participants who regularly engaged on the internet were more likely to have better overall academic performance (OR=2.319, CI=1.118-4.810) than those who rarely engaged on the internet. However, participants who spent an average of ≥ 3 hours per day on the Internet had less likelihood of getting average in aggregate (overall academic performance) (OR=0.899, CI=0.811-0.996) compared to participants who spent an average of < 3 hours per day on the Internet. Participants who spent an average of ≥ 3 hours per day on the Internet had less likelihood of having excess body fat compared to the participants who spent < 3 hours daily on the Internet (OR=0.701, CI=0.493-0.997). CONCLUSION: Generally, time spent on the Internet is not associated with all weight-related parameters. It could be said that since majority of participants use mobile phone for internet engagement, thus it may not affect ones’ body composition. On the other hand, regular engagement on the internet was associated to better academic performance but it was found that spending more time on the internet resulted in poorer academic performances. As such, close monitoring, supervision, and guidance on Internet engagement among adolescents is crucial.
