Introduction

This research aims to investigate the relationship between the use of digital tools and time

management. In today’s technologically advanced world, digital tools have become a big part of

our daily lives. Forms of using programs, websites, applications, and other internet and

computerized resources that facilitate, enhance and execute digital processes and overall digital

enablement efforts. However, the widespread adoption of digital tools has also raised questions

about their impact on our ability to manage time effectively. With the rapid advancement of

technology, the knowledge society is being compelled to adapt and become familiar with ever-

more-complex codes, which are necessary to address ever-more-specific issues. In this regard,

citizens’ digital competency is crucial for adjusting this kind of process. (Ocaña et al., 2019). 

 The efficient management of time is crucial for personal productivity, academic success, and

professional growth. With the increasing availability and accessibility of digital tools, individuals

now have an array of options to assist them in organizing their schedules, setting reminders, and

improving overall time management skills. Yet, the extent to which these digital tools truly

enhance time management remains a topic of ongoing research and debate. In turn, being in 

possession of this good ability to manage technological and functional resources, such as time, is

thought to be linked to  a better feeling of efficiency in the task performed; this self-efficacy

misunderstood as the judgment that each person performs on himself based on previous

experiences and perceptions about his ability to face  a certain task (Bandura, 1982)

the limited time. Considering the task as the priority means classifying the task into its

difficulties and its important. Preference of the organization is based on the tendency of

individual who implements the balances for both of the environment of the activity and the

approach of the task. Atkinson (1994) the individual can does his activities with a good

organization and it helps him to work easily, avoids the urgent activity, improves the self-

motivation, increases the discipline in doing the task, and classifies the thing into its importance.

The mechanism aspect covers the activity of controlling such as making schedule. The schedule

helps the students to remind them for their task and the allocation time for doing those tasks.

According to Tylor, the function of the schedule is to avoid the overloaded of the activities,

reminder and to avoid rushing (Puspitasari, 2013). The control of the time refers to the

confidence of controlling time and managing the some aspect that may influence to the use of

time such as managing the spare time. The students can use their spare time to learn a new

material or just repeat the material that they already got to get a better academic achievement.

The Intensity Of Smartphone Using As A Source Of Learning Essentially, learning is the process

of making improvement for every individual. The example of learning experience is based on the

interaction between the individual and environment. The function of learning environment and

the aspect that support the learning environment and optimized the academic achievement can be

called as a resource of learning. Rohani (2013) the resources of learning can be classified from

the development, namely (a) learning resources by design (learning resource that is designed to

fulfill the needs of the learning or after the selection); (b) learning resource by utilitarian (an

unplanned resource for the learning process) is all of the resource of learning (environment)

around the school that is used by the students to learn and the characteristic is incidental. The

resource of learning allows the individual to enrich their knowledge and skill. The innovations

that are made by the human especially in the educational field allow the media as one of the

learning sources. Depdiknas (2011) the function of recourses of learning are (1) increasing the

learning productivity through quicken the process of learning and help the students to manage

the time as well as increase the confidence in order to present the material or information; (2)

make the students to be more independent; (3) build the learning process with the scientific

based; (4) make the learning to be more effective; (5) support the learning process by providing a

wide and meaningful information. The classification of learning process that is used as the Now

days, Smartphone is becoming the prior need because of its characteristics, benefits, and it is a

portable technology that makes the people be addicted on it. Based on the function, smartphone

has some applications that support the academic activity such as: application of browsing,

application of social media and communication, of office application, schedule application,

calculation application, saving data application, documentation application and translation

application (Rustrini, 2015). The term intensity means the ability of individual to do creativity or

any special and specific activity to reach the aim. Smartphone can be used as a resource of

learning in all of learning situation and it can develop the comprehension and understanding of

the students through emphasizing the learning process as an action, such as searching the

learning resources by using the smartphone to solve the problem during the learning process. The

students can use the smartphone to explore the literature deeply through its application. The

attitude of using smartphone in the learning process can be seen through the attitude of students
6 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

in maximizing the function the application in smartphone to find a lot of information that support

the learning process. Wulandari (2014) the attitudes that might be seen in

using smartphone are (1) The necessary means the application of the service of the smartphone

are able to support the learning process; (2) Giving assumption means the students give a

comment to the application in his smartphone rather it is good or bad; (3) Freedom means the

user of the smartphone has an unlimited access right in using the smartphone’s fitures; (4)

Flexibility means the smartphone has sophisticated features that make the user use the

smartphone easily; (5) Pleasure means the user feel comfort to use the features in the

smarthphone; (6) Happiness means the the feeling of the user while using the features in the

smartphone. The attitude of using a high technology communication tool, smartphone, it is a tool

that supports the leaning which is relevant and flexible to help individual shares their knowledge

and information with the others. 

It is though that those students who better manage their time and perceive themselves to be more

effective in the tasks they perform are thought to be due, in part, to a stronger understanding and

command of digital competence. This competence allows students to know and use a greater

number of tools and techniques to respond to the problems that arise in their academic career,

favouring the reduction of perceived stress. To test this hypothesis, a total of 200 students from

different degrees of Education and universities participated in the study, who answered the

Digital Competence Questionnaire in University Students, the Spanish version of Time

Management Behaviour Questionnaire, the Scale of Perceived Self-efficacy in academic

situations, and the Scale of Global Perception of Stress. The results show how the starting

hypothesis is fulfilled in that time management and academic self-efficacy function as mediators

Conclusion

The use of digital tools has revolutionized the way we work, learn, and communicate, enabling

us to access vast amounts of information, connect with people from all over the world, and

accomplish tasks more efficiently. Some examples of digital tools include social media

platforms, email clients, video conferencing software, project management tools, and

productivity apps.Time management can be described as the process of planning and organizing

how much time you spend on various activities to maximize productivity and achieve your goals.

It involves setting priorities, creating schedules, and allocating time effectively to ensure that

tasks are completed on time.

16 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Planning is a key component of time management. This involves identifying the tasks that need

to be done, breaking them down into smaller, more manageable steps, and estimating how much

time each task will take. Once this is done, you can create a schedule or to-do list that outlines

when each task needs to be completed and allocate time for each task accordingly.

Discipline is also an important aspect of time management. It involves developing the self-

control and focus needed to stick to your schedule and avoid distractions. This may involve

setting boundaries, such as turning off notifications on your phone or avoiding social media

during work hours, and prioritizing tasks based on their importance and urgency. With discipline,

you can develop the habits needed to manage your time effectively and achieve your goals.

Recommendation

The use of digital tools like Google Classroom can have a significant impact on time

management for both educators and students. Google Classroom provides a centralized platform

for organizing course materials, including lecture notes, presentations, and additional resources.

This makes it easier for both teachers and students to locate and access the materials they need,

saving time spent searching for physical copies or digging through various folders. Google

Classroom integrates with Google Calendar, allowing teachers and students to manage their
17 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

schedules effectively. Important dates such as assignment due dates, quizzes, and exams can be

automatically added to the calendar, serving as reminders. This helps users stay organized,

prioritize tasks, and allocate time accordingly.

One of the key advantages of Google Classroom is its accessibility from anywhere with an

internet connection. Students can access course materials, assignments, and discussions at their

convenience, enabling them to manage their time more flexibly. This is particularly beneficial

for students with busy schedules or those who need to balance multiple responsibilities.
