Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of mobile device usage intensity on the learning motivation of junior high school students in Brebes Regency. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory correlational design, this study involved 384 students from 10 selected public junior high schools selected through purposive cluster and proportional random sampling techniques. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results showed that the majority of students had a moderate level of mobile device usage intensity, with the dominant use being to access educational content. Meanwhile, their learning motivation level was in the high category. Hypothesis testing confirmed a strong positive relationship and a unidirectional and significant influence between the two variables. The coefficient of determination value showed that mobile device usage intensity contributed 42% to increasing student learning motivation. In conclusion, mobile device use has been proven not only as a source of distraction, but also functions as a catalyst that can increase student independence and learning motivation when directed appropriately towards academic activities.

Abstract

This study analyzed the self-directed learning needs of junior high school students in Informatics and identified potential obstacles in using Google Sites as a self-directed learning medium, corresponding to the Analysis stage of the ADDIE instructional design model. A mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed, where a descriptive quantitative method was supported and contextualized by qualitative data from interviews, observations, and documentation involving 90 seventh-grade students and 3 Informatics teachers from three public junior high schools in Balapulang District, Tegal Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Results showed that students had strong technological readiness and high interest in interactive website-based learning (81%), particularly through smartphone access (84%), yet had limited prior experience using website-based learning media (38%), revealing a 43-point interest-experience gap. The main obstacles identified were infrastructural, namely unstable internet connectivity (61%) and limited data quota (54%), alongside literacy-related barriers such as unfamiliarity with digital platform navigation and limited technical guidance. Teacher interviews reinforced these findings, underscoring the importance of structured onboarding and digital scaffolding during initial implementation. These findings contribute theoretically to strengthening the needs analysis stage within the ADDIE framework and practically as an empirical basis for designing a lightweight, guided, low-bandwidth-friendly Google Sites platform suited to junior high school students in areas with limited technological infrastructure.
