The research instrument was a questionnaire that measured the intensity of gadget use, types of gadget activities (academic and non-academic), and the level of concentration in learning. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression and Pearson Product Moment’s correlation. The results of the study showed that there was a significant negative effect between on-academic gadget use and concentration in learning. Conversely, the use of gadgets for academic purposes showed a positive correlation, although the effect was weaker than the negative effect of non-academic use. It is recommended that students manage their gadget usage time and that educational institutions provide education on effective gadget usage so that learning concentration can be improved.]]>
