Abstract

This paper aims at explaining impact of smartphones on the achievement of sepak takraw learners. The study used an ethnographic research design. The participants of the study were four learners of sepak takraw (ages 12 to 15). The data were collected by administering an in-depth interview and a non-participant observation. The analysis of data showed that the use of smartphones seemed to deteriorate the achievement of the sepak takraw learners. The excessive use of smartphones seemed to cause disruptive training sessions, lack of social interactions, lack of self-practice, and decrease physical health. This study indicated that smartphones might contribute negative impacts to its users. The study thus suggests that teachers/coaches should educate their young people to use smartphones wisely and effectively.
