C. RELATED LITERATURE

In the results, the participants used wireless fidelity to search information that could help

in their assignments and research. In connection with this result, Naydanova, E., Beal, B., & Doty,

H. (2018), stated that school works like assignments has been migrating to online learning

environments. Shehu, Urhefe and Promise (2015) also stated that many participants strongly

agreed that wireless fidelity contains more information. Students access online information for the

purpose of completing their academic tasks. The participants argued that wireless fidelity has a

good effect but also comes with a negative effect. It becomes negative because the participants

believe that excessive use of wireless fidelity like using online games is bad for the students. As

relation to this result, Ravizza, S., Hambrick, D., & Fenn, K. (2014) observes that students who

has high usage of wireless fidelity is associated with lower test grade, which is a negative effect.

It has a good effect too which was claimed by Chambers (2010) that wireless fidelity is playing a

key role on student learning. The participants also uses wireless fidelity for online grade viewing

in student portals, which is related to Oghenetega and Igere‘s (2014) study because they stated that

wireless fidelity has been an instrument for accessing academic portals like grade viewing and
inputting. The participants answered that some students use wireless fidelity to have non-academic

activities in social media, those students use social media for hours which will have negative

effects. In connection with the study of Ndaku (2013), the use of social media among students has

reached high levels and has affected their study time.
