Abstract

Abstract The advancement of the internet has led to the transformation of student reading behavior: from offline to online. The current study aimed to reveal university student reading behavior based on gender, subject area, and academic achievement. A quantitative approach to survey was employed in this study. The respondents of the survey was comprised of 632 students from Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia. Data 276 were gathered using the Online Reading Behavior Questionnaire. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test were run for data analysis. The results showed that there was a difference in student reading behavior based on gender, especially that related to the efforts of the students to obtain reading materials, use time for reading, reading beliefs, and reading habits. In addition, based on the subject area, discrepancies were found among students in obtaining reading materials and spending time on reading. However, based on academic achievement, there was no significant difference between high and low-ability students’ online reading behavior. The findings of this study can contribute to the design of learning activities and training of student reading behavior in universities.
