Utilization of Information Technology in Student Learning Activities: A Systematic Literature Study
Keywords:
information technology, student learning, systematic literature study, learning efficiency, Technology Acceptance ModelAbstract
The use of information technology (IT) in student learning activities has become inevitable in the era of digital transformation. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and synthesize scientific evidence regarding IT utilization patterns by students, the factors that influence it, its contribution to learning efficiency and motivation, and the challenges faced. The method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) referring to the PRISMA protocol. A literature search was conducted in Google Scholar, SINTA, Scopus, and ERIC databases for the period 2019–2026, using structured keywords. Of the 312 identified articles, 50 articles met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis results show that students use eight main categories of IT, with Learning Management Systems (LMS) as the most dominant (92% of the literature). Habits are the strongest predictors of IT acceptance (coefficient 0.72), followed by perceived usefulness and computer self-efficacy. The use of IT contributed to increased speed of reference access (68%), reduced time to complete assignments (45%), increased discussion engagement (42%), and improved learning outcomes (15% of average grades). Key challenges included limited infrastructure (78% of complaints), digital distractions (74%), and the digital literacy gap (58%). The study concluded that IT use significantly improved student learning efficiency and motivation, but a holistic approach was needed to address both structural and individual challenges.
