The Influence of Digital Literacy and Time Management on the Effectiveness of Online Learning among Students of Pamulang University

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital literacy and time management on the effectiveness of online learning among students of Pamulang University. The research adopts a quantitative approach using an associative design with a survey method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 102 active students selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments were developed using validated indicators from previous studies and measured on a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to determine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on learning effectiveness. The results revealed that digital literacy had a positive and significant effect on online learning effectiveness, indicating that students with higher digital competence are more capable of utilizing online learning platforms and digital resources efficiently. Similarly, time management showed a significant positive effect, suggesting that students who manage their study schedules effectively can maintain consistency and productivity in virtual learning environments. Furthermore, digital literacy and time management jointly contributed significantly to the overall effectiveness of online learning, explaining a substantial portion of the variance in students’ learning outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening students’ digital literacy skills and time management abilities to enhance their adaptability and success in online learning systems. The study concludes that the integration of digital competence and disciplined time management is crucial for achieving optimal learning effectiveness in higher education’s digital era.
