Attitudes Towards E-Learning and Internet Usage: Their Impact on Students' Study Habits – A Conceptual Exploration

Abstract :

In today’s digital world, students’ attitudes toward e-learning and how they use the internet play a big role in forming good study habits needed for school success. This conceptual paper looks closely at these links. It shows how positive views of e-learning help students learn on their own and use resources better. Smart internet use also improves thinking skills and memory. But problems like too much social media or tech issues can hurt study routines. Based on simple theories like the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), this paper gives clear ideas for teachers. It fits well for high school and college students, including those in places like Jammu and Kashmir, India, where internet access varies. The paper suggests easy steps like digital training and mixed online-offline classes to make technology help build strong study habits for long-term learning.
