Keywords:
Elementary School Students, Social Media, Learning Discipline, Digital LiteracyAbstract
This study aims to analyze the behavior of elementary school students in using social media and its impact on learning discipline. The method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with 20 grade VI students of SDN Jambesari 02, as well as two parents and one teacher. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman models, as well as triangulation of sources for validation. The results show that the majority of students use social media every day, especially TikTok and YouTube, with an average duration of two to three hours. The negative impacts that arise include decreased study focus, procrastination of tasks, and sleep disturbances. Although some students access educational content, the negative impact remains dominant. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of parents and teachers in supervising and providing digital literacy to students so that social media can be used wisely and does not interfere with the learning process.
