This study investigates cyberloafing among students in English Study
Program, Universitas Riau, Pekanbaru, focusing on how students use digital devices
for non-academic purposes during class. The aims of this study are to assess the
level of cyberloafing and identify the reasons why do students engage in
cyberloafing. The total number of the sample was 71 students for the quantitative
study and 10 students for the qualitative study. The study adapted explanatory
sequential mixed-method design. The data were collected through 35 items
questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The researcher employed descriptive
analysis in terms of means for the quantitative data using SPSS 29 and thematic
analysis for the qualitative data. The results revealed a high level of cyberloafing,
with the most common activities being sharing, followed by real-time updating and
accessing online content. It also showed contributing factors to cyberloafing
including lecturer-related reasons, course-related reasons, and student-related
reasons. The study suggested that reducing cyberloafing may be achieved by
lecturers establishing a clear digital device policy during class, students promoting
self-regulation learning, and further research may explore long-term consequences
of cyberloafing to mitigate cyberloafing behaviour in educational settings.
