Abstract
The use of smartphones by MEEP students is expected to help the learning process. However, whether the smartphone can really help the learning process or even give a negative impact? This study is to describe the use of smartphones by MEEP students in learning. The type of research is Sequential Explanatory Design with Mixed Method Approach. The result of this research is the level of disruption of smartphone usage by MEEP students in general learning into the high category (mean count (3.32) > mean ideal (2.5)). It means that the use of smartphones by MEEP students has a negative impact on learning. Negative impacts that happened (as a medium for playing mobile games and social media) were more dominant than positive impacts. The use of smartphones by MEEP students cannot be stopped. However, students can be directed to use smartphones in a healthy way.
