Academic Flow and Cyberloafing

Academic flow is a motivational process that is important for students in the learning process. Academic flow causes students to concentrate, enjoy, and intrinsic motivation in the learning process. Conversely, students with low academic flow will experience cyberloafing. Limitations of research relationship between academic flow and cyberloafing in academic context so far became the basis of this research. Research subjects were 314 students through incidental sampling. Result showed a negative significant correlation between academic flow and cyberloafing (r = -0.312, p = 0.001). There is a negative correlation between cyberloafing and absorption (r = -0.220, p = 0.011), enjoyment (r = -0.232, p = 0.024), and intrinsic motivation (r = -0.265, p = 0.003). This means that the higher students academic flow score is, the lower the cyberloafing score will be on students, such as chat, games, music, and videos that are not related to the learning process. It is necessary to manage the learning process in achieving flow conditions, especially regarding the expectancy and value as personal resources. The results are discussed further.
