Abstract:

The Internet, which has become widespread in daily life, also increases its impact in education processes. While this situation sometimes leads to positive behaviors, it sometimes leads to undesirable behaviors. One of the undesirable behaviors is cyberloafing. One of the reasons for cyberloafing is that the student is not satisfied with the faculty. The main purpose of the research is to determine the relationship between faculty satisfaction and cyberloafing in higher religious education. The research was designed according to the correlational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The sample group selected by the convenient sampling method consists of 1555 students studying at faculties of theology/Islamic sciences in Turkey. Three data collection tools were used in the study and various statistical analyzes such as t-test and ANOVA were performed on the collected data. As a result of the research, the cyberloafing behavior levels of the participant students correspond to 'I do not agree'. The cyberloafing levels of the participants differ significantly according to gender, class of education, type of education, career planning, having a social media account, and willingly preferring the faculty. Significant relationships were found between students' cyberloafing behaviors and their daily internet use and faculty satisfaction.
