Hello everyone,
I'm currently pursuing my degree and have started preparing for my master's thesis. However, I've encountered a challenge with my main independent variable. My interest lies in exploring the impact of social media, multitasking, video games, and video streaming on university students' learning motivation and engagement, along with other mediating and moderating variables such as meaning in life, self-control, and boredom.
Initially, I considered "digital distraction" as the main term to encompass these factors, but I soon realized it might not be the best fit. I then thought about using "digital media," but I haven't found many studies that focus on this term. Recently, I came across the term "screen time," but now I'm feeling confused and unsure about the most appropriate term for my research.
Unfortunately, I don't have any experts in this field among my lecturers. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions regarding my thesis topic. Thank you in advance for your help!
Ahmad azmi Esmaeil I suggest for you to choose only one independent variable, for example; Investigating the Impact of active participating experiences on social media on students' performance, transformative learning, and academic & social achievements in higher learning. The independent variable is: social media. The dependent variables are: students' performance, transformative learning, academic and social achievements. You can use the research method of your choice. Best to you!
Zoncita Del Mundo Norman my goals was to focus on the general problem of wasting our time on the digital media( i mean using digital media for non-educational reason). but so far i did not find suitable concept.
social media is part of the problem. but i found also problematic our tendency to watch YouTube, series, anime and video games. This all issues we struggle with. But do you think their is some concept or inventory that investigate generally our tendency to waste our time on digital media?
you are right. i think i am being very ambitious by adding all these variables. i should narrow down. but I really do not know which variable should i choose
