Abstract
Instagram is a social media whose users are currently increasing. The Instagram Suggested Post
feature is one of the features created by Instagram to increase interest in using the application.
Based on this, it is necessary to test to find out how the influence of the Instagram Suggested
Post Algorithm on the learning behavior of Klabat University students using the Theory of
Reasoned Action (TRA) model concept. The sample of this research is the students of the
Faculty of Computer Science, University of Klabat who study in semester 2, the academic year
2021/2022 as many as 639 students and the sample used using the Slovin formula approach as
many as 95 students. The research method used is a quantitative approach with the use of simple
regression analysis and the application of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)
application. The results of this study show that the three hypotheses proposed, namely the first
hypothesis of the Use Attitude (SP) of the Instagram Suggested Post Algorithm have an
influence on Learning Interest (MB) with a t-count value of 6.800 > t-table 1.98580 with a Sig
value. < 0.05. While the second hypothesis Subjective Norm (NS) has an influence on MB with
a t value of 7.302 > t table 1.98580 with a value of Sig. <0.05 and the third hypothesis MB has
an influence on Learning Behavior (PB) with a t-count value of 7.407 > t-table 1.98580 with a
Sig value. < 0.05, then the three hypotheses have a significant relationship so that these three
hypotheses are accepted. The results of this study can be input for lecturers at the University of
Klabat, Faculty of Computer Science to maximize the use of the Suggested Post Algorithm on
the Instagram application in supporting student interest and learning behavior.

1. INTRODUCTION
S ocial media is an online platform where users can share, collaborate, and even help work for
many parties. On the one hand, this will benefit various parties in carrying out their work
and needs related to the convenience of social media; on the other hand, this can also have a
negative impact on users, both psychologically and mentally, if not used properly and wisely
[1]. Social media at this time is certainly more advanced and developing, with various types of
things offered by each platform to its users so that they can interact on social media
comfortably. Based on research from Hootsuite (We are Social): Indonesian Digital Report
2021, 61% of Indonesians are active users of social media [2]. When compared to 2019 research
from Hootsuite (We are Social): Indonesian Digital Report 2019, active social media users in
Indonesia are only 45% [3]. This proves that the use of social media during the COVID-19
pandemic has increased quite rapidly. With the developments offered by each platform as well
as the advantages that each social media platform has, users have many options for using social
media platforms that suit their tastes and desires. When viewed based on the level of popularity
of social media, one of the biggest at this time is Instagram. If you look at the development of
social media now, there are many social media platforms that have sprung up and are used by
various users around the world.
Many people have used this Instagram site a lot [4]. The main drivers of the use of the
social network Instagram are young people, especially students. Many people wonder about the
usefulness of social media when using it with high intensity. It is very useful for students and
learning activities. Social media coverage can help because social media can support learning
activities. This is one of the advantages of social media that can support academic activities as a
learning tool [5]. Many different impacts are felt in the use of social media. Research conducted
by Kirschner and Karpinski in the United States in 2010 found that students are active users of
social media, but they are more likely to get a lower grade point average score than students
who do not use social media [6]. David Greenfield, an American psychologist, stated that about
6% of users of cyberspace or the internet experience changes that lead to addiction. However,
these people suffer the same adverse effects as drug users, especially when they are lost from
online time. Many people are crazy about the internet because they feel happy and satisfied
playing games on the internet and never find it in their daily life. The internet has made children
dependent because the internet provides a variety of data, toys, and entertainment that makes its
users not stop interacting on the internet. [7]
From this study, David Greenfiled also explains that a person's inability to control
himself when using Instagram becomes a person's routine that cannot be controlled. Instagram
can affect us and even others. In this study, researchers discuss the effect of the Suggested Post
feature from Instagram on student learning behavior using the TRA (Theory of Reasoned
Action) method. This makes it easier for researchers to conduct research on the effect of the
Suggested Post Instagram feature on student learning behavior.
Instagram is one of the social media platforms that has great popularity and a large
number of users from all over the world. In Instagram itself, there are various things that can be
used by users, apart from its basic function of sharing photos and videos. With the various
features provided by Instagram, users have a lot of things to explore [8]. Since its launch in
2010, Instagram has made various developments and added many things to its platform so that
users feel more comfortable and stay on Instagram for a long time.
Although social media provides a variety of diverse and varied content to its users, many are not
aware that everything they see on social media is controlled by the content algorithm in social
media, in which the algorithm applies a polarization system or interest boxing based on the type
of content that every user likes. The provision of content based on preferences that takes place
continuously can lead to addiction and dependence for its users, which can trigger negative
impacts for the users themselves if not controlled wisely [9]. Due to the lack of knowledge and
insight that most social media users have, it seems that they don't care about it and continue to
enjoy social media without thinking about the bad effects they can get. In addition, the addiction
felt by users when interacting on social media makes them unable to realize the bad effects they
are getting because they are too focused on the consumption of various content provided on
their social media [10].
Based on what has been stated, the researcher wants to try to do this research to analyze
and find out how much influence the algorithm in the Instagram Page Suggestion Post has in
providing content to its users, especially to students at the UNKLAB Faculty of Computer
Science.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The method applied in this study is a quantitative method, where this method is used to solve
problems in a study related to statistical and numerical data. The following is the conceptual
framework used in this research:
Figure 1 shows that there are 2 parameter variables, namely the attitude of suggested
post Instagram users (SP) and subjective norms (NS), that affect learning interest (MB). Interest
in learning can affect the variable Learning Behavior (PB).
Slovin's formula:
N
2
1+ N ( e )
639 639
¿ = =86,46 ≈ 87
1+ 639 ( 0,1 ) 7,39
2
Information:
n = sample size
N = population size
e = margin of error
In calculating the slovin formula, it is known that the population of the Faculty of
Computer Science, University of Klabat is 639 people, with a margin of error of 10% or 0.1, so
the number of samples taken in this study was 87 people.
Based on Slovin's formula, a sample of 87 students from the Faculty of Computer
Science, University of Klabat, was drawn.

Based on Tables 9, 10, and 11 the results of the linearity test on each variable have a
significance value (Sig.) > 0.05 so it can be concluded that there is a significant linear
relationship between each variable.
Based on Tables 12, 13, and 14 the results of the heteroscedasticity test on each variable
have a significance value (Sig.) > 0.05 so it can be concluded that the data does not have
heteroscedasticity problems in the regression model.
The hypothesis test is to find out whether the hypothesis proposed in a study is rejected
or accepted. In this test, two terms are used, namely the null hypothesis or H 0 which is stated as
the hypothesis to be tested, and H1 as a form of rejection of H0. This study uses the t-test as a
method of calculation to assess the existing hypothesis [16].

4. CONCLUSION
The conclusions that can be obtained based on the results of the study are as follows:
1. The research model adopted from the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is a model that
can be applied to determine the effect of the Suggested Post Instagram Algorithm on
student learning interest.
2. Based on the test results, it can be analyzed that the first hypothesis, namely the User
Attitude (SP) of the Instagram Suggested Post Algorithm has an influence on Learning
Interest (MB) then the second hypothesis, Subjective Norm (NS) has an influence on
MB and the third hypothesis MB has an influence on Learning Behavior (PB) so that
the results of all hypotheses can be accepted according to the problem formulation that
