Abstract

Media multitasking has been presented as being detrimental to students’ academic performance. Evidence for this is mixed, however, and may be ignoring the fact that students with specific learning approaches may be choosing to multitask more than others. As such, learning approach may be the real predictor of academic success. This current study uses self-reported data on media multitasking and preferred learning approaches to investigate whether these behaviours and preferences are related to academic success, as measured by grades.
