Abstract

Abstract: Thesis is one of the mandatory requirements to complete education at the university level. The conditions in that process indicate that many factors influence the completion of student thesis, especially in the Physics department. Physics students are currently in the digital age, so the rapid development of technology contributes to the completion of thesis. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the analysis of factors that influence the successful completion of thesis Physics students in the digital era. This type of research is descriptive, with samples35 Physics students covering undergraduate, master and doctoral level. Based on the results of this study, it was found that there are several factors that influence the success of student thesis in the digital era, namely: internet browsing preferences, quality of guidance, desire to graduate on time, want to boast of parents, ability to write articles, pressure from family, motivation from friends, availability of references on campus, availability laboratorytools, campus internet access, using of chat applications on smartphones, internet network quality, intensity of attending peer sessions and proficiency in technology.
