“…Today's popular social media sites include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, which collectively have approximately 4.66 billion active Internet users worldwide. The number of individuals Social media distraction on student evaluation utilizing social media is growing every day, with roughly 2.89 billion monthly active users on Facebook in the second quarter of 2021 (Slot and Opree, 2021). As it has changed how people interact, communicate and engage, Hung and Yuen (2010) view the Internet's expansion as a game-changer in the history of mass communication.…”

PurposeThe study examines the impact of social media distraction on the relationship between student engagement and student evaluations of teachers (SET) in management education, part of the STEM disciplines. While it is widely accepted that student engagement and evaluation of teachers are two important constructs of active learning systems, their links, especially in the context of management education, have not been explored. This study seeks to fill this research gap as teachers' appraisal and career growth greatly depend on SET across higher education institutes worldwide.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 247 student participants from higher education institutes/universities using a questionnaire-based survey. Further, 15 students were interviewed to glean insights from their feelings regarding social media distractions and how it impacts their engagement and evaluation of teachers. For the quantitative and qualitative analyses, multiple regression and thematic analysis were applied, respectively. A word tree was developed to determine the association between experiences and contexts.FindingsThe results indicate that social media distraction moderates the relationship between students' cognitive engagement and their evaluation of teaching faculty. Social media distractions disrupt student engagement inside the classroom, leading to wrong/biased assessments of teachers' performance. Additionally, cognitive and emotional engagement significantly impacted student evaluations of the management college faculty.Originality/valueThe authors’ findings enable educators in higher education systems, specifically management education, to rethink the faculty feedback system and social media distractions impeding student engagement other than SET drawbacks.

“…The dimensions of the continuum are often concomitant with each other: certain ontologies usually come with certain epistemologies and methodological toolkits. On one end of the continuum, researchers view digital disconnection as individually functional and study it by applying a post-positivist lens with quantitative methods (e.g., Hall et al, 2021;Radtke et al, 2022;Schmitt et al, 2021;Schmuck, 2020;Slot and Opree, 2021;Van Wezel et al, 2021). A primary interest of this cluster of research lies in questions of cause and effect, for example, whether digital disconnection affects well-being.…”

The study of digital disconnection – the voluntary non-use of digital media – is a growing research domain characterized by increasingly pluralistic approaches. To map this diverse terrain, we offer an analytical heuristic: a continuum of approaches to digital disconnection. This tool proposes one primary dimension – viewing digital disconnection as individually functional to socially meaningful (ontology) – and two secondary, concomitant dimensions – holding post-positive to interpretivist perspectives on knowledge generation (epistemology) as well as applying quantitative to qualitative methods (methodology). We offer examples of scholarship along the continuum and advocate for the complementarity of different approaches. Although the continuum is not a universal framework, it provides a tool for scholars to review the domain and for digital disconnection researchers specifically to locate themselves on and build bridges across the continuum. We hope that this continuum supports and expands the pluralistic nature of digital disconnection scholarship into the future.

This panel aims to highlight the importance of digital platforms to information science (IS) and in doing this to help connect IS scholars to the important work from other intellectual communities when conducting studies on platforms. The pervasiveness of digital platforms in our lives has encouraged scholars across multiple disciplines to turn their attention to these socio‐technical arrangements. And, over the past two‐plus decades, scholars have advanced multiple conceptualizations and some initial theorizing about digital platforms. This noted, platform‐oriented literature in IS is less focused, and more importantly, does not connect to the conversations on this topic developed in other intellectual communities. To begin connecting IS scholars with platform scholarship outside of our field, this panel brings together IS scholars who have focused their scholarly attention to studying platforms in order to share their research and discuss how their studies could be inspired by and contribute to the platform literature.
