The Relationship of Social Media on Learner’s Academic Achievement
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 18, Issue 10
Abstract
The increasing use of social media platforms has drastically altered how people interact, communicate, and acquire information in the digital age. Today's learners, as digital natives, are profoundly entrenched in online social networks, making it critical to understand how these platforms influence their educational endeavors. Through a thorough evaluation of existing research and consideration of many perspectives, this study investigates the effects of social media on learners' academic achievement. While some academics suggest that social media may be a beneficial tool for improving learning experiences, others argue that its widespread use may impair academic attainment due to distractions, less study time, and greater procrastination. This abstract seeks to provide a balanced assessment of these contrasting viewpoints. Based on the findings of the study, the test of relationship between learners’ academic achievement and the use of social media showed that there is a positive relationship between the variables. The usage of social media often for academic purposes is positively relative to the learner’s academic achievement with p-value of 0.007506 while there is no relationship between the learners’ age and the degree of effect of social media with p-value of 0.3829. Which means that age does not relate to the effect of social media among participants. Thus, additional studies should delve into the impact of social media and should cover a more comprehensive student sample from different elementary environments to represent a substantial part of the population to address the limitations of the current study.
