A Study on Cyber-Loafing Levels of University Students in Teaching Environments

Abstract

This research aims to examine the cyberloafing levels of students studying in different departments of undergraduate and associate degree programs of a state university in terms of various variables. In this context, it was tried to determine whether the cyberloafing levels of teacher candidates differ according to demographic characteristics (gender, age), education level (undergraduate, associate degree). For this purpose, the “Cyber Loafing Scale - CLS” developed by Blau et al. (2006) and adapted into Turkish by Polat (2018) was used to determine the cyberloafing levels of the participants. The research was carried out using the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. Participants consist of 385 students studying in different departments of a state university in the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. According to the results of the research, there was no significant difference in terms of gender variable in the cyberloafing levels of the participants. However, significant differences were found according to age and education level variables.
