Item Study and stream: University students' behavior on online academic learning and their motivations for binge-watching on NetflixBanting, Ericka Marie; Bitoca, Joyce Anne Marie; Buergo, Angelika (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)The Covid 19 pandemic brought Netflix to unprecedented heights, especially among people aged 18 to 24. The remote setup of learning enabled students to multi-task between their schoolwork and non-academic activities. In particular, this study looks into the phenomenon of binge-watching among communication students from a selected university who are direct subscribers of Netflix. Using the framework designed by Panda and Pandey (2017) on the motivations and outcomes of binge-watching among college students, this research investigates if there is a relationship between the university students' behaviors on online academic learning and the factors that motivate them to binge-watch TV shows/series on Netflix. The research design is quantitative in nature and data analysis utilizes the Pearson's R correlation. Findings show a moderately small, positive correlation between the university students' behavior towards online academic learning and their motivations to binge-watch TV shows/series on Netflix. This means that progress in the student's behavior on online academic learning signifies an increase in their motivations for binge-watching.
