Abstract


Tujuan utama penelitian untuk mengetahui kondisi yang sesungguhnya mengenai keterlibatan dan aktivitas mahasiswa menggunakan teknologi media sosial dalam meningkatkan prestasi belajar. Pernyataan tujuan ini seiring pertumbuhan dan perilaku pengguna teknologi internet dan media sosial yang sangat pesat dan telah menjadi bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam kehidupan mahasiswa. Namun masih ada kecenderungan mahasiswa dalam memanfaatkan teknologi media sosial tidak lebih dari sekedar kebutuhan pertemanan sehingga dapat menghambat studi mereka. Penelitian melalui survei secara online dan jumlah daftar angket yang berhasil dikumpulkan sebanyak 168 dari 300 sampel mahasiswa aktif. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik sampling acak sederhana dengan pertimbangan, populasi mahasiswa STMIK Pontianak semuanya relatif homogen dari sisi sebagai pengguna teknologi media sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemanfaatan teknologi media sosial untuk kebutuhan meningkatkan prestasi belajar masih cenderung rendah dan belum semuanya menggunakannya untuk kegiatan interaksi dengan sesama teman mahasiswa lainnya (12,80%), membangun hubungan personal dengan anggota kelompok (11,12%), interaksi dengan rekan dan bagian akademik (15,55%), kemampuan belajar (22,12%), kebebasan menciptakan pengalaman belajar secara mandiri (18,25%), dan meningkatkan kemampuan melakukan penelitian (15,55%). Pihak perguruan tinggi perlu segera melakukan perubahan dalam membangun kolaborasi antar personal, budaya belajar positif dan tatanan proses pembelajaran kepada seluruh tenaga pendidik dan mahasiswa melalui interaksi personal agar menjadi lebih efektif.
