“…While using SNS to communicate with on-campus friends would have a positive relationship with college adjustment, communication with off-campus friends via SNS had no significant correlation. In line with the previous explanation, Yang and Brown (2015) highlighted that it is not the number of college friends that matter. Instead, the communication that happens between the student and his or her college friends that has an impact.…”

“…Also, there is the possibility that even though students make friends with each other in LINE, they do not interact in any meaningful way. This result could also be explained by attributing it to the finding from Yang and Brown (2015). Their study supported the idea that different type of SNS use would have a different effect on college adjustment.…”

This study examined the influence of social networking service (SNS) usage, especially LINE, on the first-year college students' social adjustment in Indonesia. We hypothesized that the number of LINE friends from the same university, the number of actual friends in LINE, and propensity to use LINE predicted the social adjustment of first year students. To examine the hypothesis, we surveyed 120 first-year college students. Linear regression analysis showed that LINE usage affected students' social adjustment. The number of actual friends in LINE and propensity to use LINE to collaborate with other students positively predicted social adjustment. On the other hand, the number of college friends in LINE did not contribute significantly to their social adaptation. These results give more evidence of the beneficial effect of SNS, especially LINE, on the first-year college students' social adjustment in their campus. However, it is essential to note that SNS would give a beneficial effect if students could develop a real friendship through it and use it for collaborative activities. AbstrakPenelitian ini ingin membuktikan ada atau tidaknya pengaruh dari penggunaan layanan jejaring sosial (social network service) atau media sosial, khususnya LINE, terhadap penyesuaian sosial (social adjustment) mahasiswa tahun pertama di Indonesia. Hipotesis studi ini adalah jumlah teman dari kampus yang sama di LINE, jumlah teman sesungguhnya di LINE, dan kecenderungan penggunaan LINE memprediksi penyesuaian sosial. Sebanyak 120 mahasiswa tahun pertama yang menjadi partisipan penelitian ini. Hasil analisis regresi linear menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan LINE memiliki pengaruh terhadap penyesuaian sosial mahasiswa tahun pertama. Jumlah teman yang sesungguhnya di LINE serta kecenderungan untuk menggunakan LINE demi aktivitas kolaborasi dengan mahasiswa lain mampu memprediksi penyesuaian sosial secara positif. Akan tetapi, jumlah teman di LINE yang berasal dari kampus yang sama tidak memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan. Temuan-temuan dalam penelitian ini memberikan tambahan bukti tentang dampak SNS, terutama LINE, terhadap penyesuaian sosial mahasiswa tahun pertama di kampusnya. Namun demikian, penting untuk disadari bahwa SNS akan memberikan dampak positif jika mahasiswa mampu menjalin pertemanan yang nyata melalui LINE serta menggunakannya untuk kegiatan kolaboratif.

“…Using social media to maintain these relationships was positively associated with the well‐being of these students (Ranney & Troop‐Gordon, ). Conversely, Yang and Brown () found that there was no relationship between students’ use of networking sites to communicate with off‐campus friends and their social adjustment to college. Though it is abundantly clear that students use social media to stay connected with preexisting friends and their family, the literature on this topic could be bolstered through additional research on how the maintenance of these relationships influences the adjustment and persistence of students at their new institutions.…”

“…Although authors have recommended residence life intentionally integrate the use of social media as a means to encourage the formation of peer and campus relationships (Yang & Brown, ), limited empirical literature exists regarding these best practices. The few studies previously mentioned in Chapter 3 that examined the effect of using social media as a means to promote adjustment to campus life and the facilitation of community found that specific Facebook groups and online platforms set up for individual residence halls were effective tools in facilitating the outcomes of increased campus engagement and peer relationships (DeAndrea et al., ; Heiberger & Harper, ).…”

“…Often, it is defined as the degree to which a person believes that using a system would enhance his/her job performance (Davis, 1989;Liaw & Huang, 2013). This follows the definition of being useful that people are generally reinforced for good performance by raises, promotions, bonuses (Yang & Brown, 2015). A system high in perceived effectiveness is one for which a user believes in the existence of a positive useperformance relationship (Davis, 1989).…”

Many researchers claim that inquiry-based learning offers proper solutions to engage students in the 3D virtual world (3DVW), while little literature has reported how to conduct inquiry-based learning and to what extent it influences learning in this world. This study investigates the perceived effectiveness when students exhibit in the inquiry-based learning compared with the standard learning in the 3DVW. Forty-eight students voluntarily participate in the experiment. Half of them learn in the inquiry-based environment, and the other half learn in the standard environment. The effectiveness is measured by the perceived experience and perceived knowledge gains. The data is analyzed by combining the quantitative with qualitative approaches. The results show students who exhibit in the inquiry-based environment perceive more effectiveness than those who don't. Also, the reasons why students perceive in the way are obtained. This study indicates the inquiry-based learning conducted in the 3DVW can effectively enhance learning.
