Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of smartphones towards students' interaction at senior high school. This descriptive qualitative research was carried out at one of the senior high schools in Pangalengan, Bandung with observation and interview techniques. It shows that smartphones can change the interaction pattern in associative and dissociative processes. In the associative proses, students create social media groups to communicate, interact, and socialize in order to make it easier for students to distribute information. Meanwhile, the dissociative process occur friction due to misunderstanding in interpreting information when communicating. Another finding in this research shows that the use of smartphones can facilitate teachers and students in the learning process and evaluation. However, the impact on the use of smartphone is that the students lack focus in the teaching and learning process. Smartphones are used as a means of cheating, bullying and shifting values and norms.
