Integration of information and communication technologies in educational settings offer added learning opportunities to teachers and students. However, these come with the expense of cyberloafing among students and educators in computer-mediated environments. Despite the curiosity it has been arousing, so recent is the concept of cyberloafing, implies that the knowledge accumulated so far is sparse, broad and fragmented. This study aims to systematically review the current challenges in the domain of cyberloafing. The study reviewed twenty-six peer-reviewed scholarly articles to analyse and reveal information on the methods, factors examined, applications, comprehensive results, and limitations. The findings in this study highlight the need to uncover the phenomenon of cyberloafing in teaching and learning environments, and proposes possible recommendations on issues and gaps open to be explored in future studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
