ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the behavior of the millennials in using the Internet for learning. The study was conducted by performing a survey of the millennials in Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Denpasar, and Banda Aceh. As a result, the general behavior of the millennials in the use of the Internet for learning was relatively good, even though those who have ever used the Internet for learning was less than half. Based on the next-generation data regarding the millennials’ internet use, it was found that the intensity of the internet use is in the moderate category; they mostly access the Internet to do the assignments given by teachers; most of the access is at school; they access the Internet to learn as ordered by their teachers; most of the materials are interactive multimedia; and nearly all of the students who never use the internet for learning spend no more than two hours a day; the rest use of internet is for other purposes. Based on the correlation test, it was revealed that the students’ intensity in using the Internet to learn was significantly and positively associated with students’ attitudes towards the internet, the intensity of the tasks or lessons given by the teachers, their search for interactive materials, and the encouragement from their teachers. To improve these variables, the teachers’ encouragement to use the Internet for the learning needs to be improved, particularly in classroom assignments, materials enrichment, and finding learning resources.
