Introduction
Social Media is one of the most popular social networking sites in modern
societies and target variety of people in different age. The exposure to the variety and
the advanced and improved usage of social media platforms such as Facebook has
become a worldwide phenomenon for quite some time. Though it all started has been a
hobby for several computer literates individual has changed to become a social norm
and existence-style for students around the world. According to R Boateng and Afua
Amankwaa (2016) stated that Social media is rapidly changing the communication
setting of today’s social world. The emergent of social media is significantly influencing
the academic life of pupils. Institutions and academician are continually trying with
social media technologies hoping to excite critical thinking skills, collaboration, and
knowledge construction. Social media has been accepted by higher institution making it
a platform where pupils connect with their instructors, fellow pupils and other higher
authorities across the board. This therefore called for the study to explore and examine
how social media has impacted on pupils’ academic life. In recent years many parents,
advocates and policy makers have expressed concerns regarding the potential negative

media has been used as an innovative way. Students should be taught to use this tool
in a better way, in the educational classes’ media just being used for messaging or
texting rather than they should learn to figure out how to use these media for good.
Social media has increased the quality and rate of collaboration for students. With the
help of social media students can easily communicate or share information quickly with
each through various social sites like Facebook and Instagram etc. It is also important
for students to do some practical work instead of doing paper work. They can also write

As cited by Agatha (2015), stated that use of social media and its impacts on
academic performance of the pupils” revealed that majority of students in Ghana were
engrossed in social Networking sites. It also brought to light that most users utilized
these sites for chatting and Downloading purposes only which affected their academic
performance negatively. This finding corroborates the revelation of Mingle and Musah
(2015), that most respondents in their study Experienced negative effects such as poor
grammar spelling, late submission of assignments, less Study time and poor academic
performance. Though part of these studies affirmed some benefits Of social media
its negative effects which seem to be outweighing the advantages as far as education is
concerned in Ghana.
impact of social media on education is becoming a dynamic factor. The world is getting
reduced, and through the use of technology such as social media, the way we bring
instruction is varying. The technology referred to her really transpires just social media
technologies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. The technologies that allow
these stages to function are also one of the powerful forces behind the effect of this
technology on education. In addition Learners are not familiar as much to having face to
face conversations. Body language is a huge part of communication between humans,
and when people primarily communicate through technology, then body language clues
can be missed, or Learners do not learn to use body language as a queue for
understanding the context of what the person is trying to convey. Learners do not
develop the same accuracy in the written word. With the increase in text messages and
social media tweets as communication, learners are used to not utilizing proper spelling
and grammar when communicating. This makes it hard for others to understand the
actual context of the discussion, especially when they are talking with individuals who
did not grow up using technology as the primary means of communicating. Maintenance
can also suffer as a result of social media and the technologies working to deliver
content. There is a lot of noise on these platforms, and therefore, information is not
retained as well as it may when you are ready a book. This is one of the primary
needed information in a manner that allows it to stand out from the noise. Use of video
can be a good way to help combat this, but the noise is still there. Furthermore The
world is smaller, and thus, students are more diverse in their thinking about their
interactions. You may wonder if it's too diverse with the many protests going on college
campuses lately, but it does show the students are thinking about more than the single
viewpoint to what they were born. Of course, you could argue that some students have
taken their demands for inclusivism to the point where they are promoting divisiveness
and biases towards other people's viewpoints, but that is a topic for another post. the
noise that is a negative listed above can also be a positive. Because there is so much
noise on the net, some students have become better at weeding out the unimportant
stuff and absorbing what is important. This does show that in this connected world there
is a place for librarians and instruction on how to effectively do research using search
engines and evaluating resources for validity. Students now have the ability to reach out
to industry experts across disciplines, and this can help the students locate more
taught how to evaluate the source of information even when it may come from a
supposed expert.

Negative situations occur because of misuse of the tool. This may be because a child is
too young to use the tool or it is a situation the child is not ready for developmentally. In
the light of this information, it can be said that children are very open to risky behaviours
because of social media during young ages. In today’s world of widespread usage of
communication networks, social media has negative effects on the lives of children in
the matter of violence, addiction and psychology. We Are Social also reported that 76
million Filipinos are social media users that a whopping 71% of the entire population of
the country. The data also says that Filipinos spend an average of four (4) hours a day
on different social media platforms. While it is not furtive that the internet service in the
country is far from excellent, Filipinos are still fond of taking things so social media.
There’s no denying it, we Filipinos are social. Social interactions are a basic part of our
daily lives and it is not at all surprising that it is extended into our social media handles.
Acoording to Che Surhaizai, Che Wil, Melor Md Yunus and Ashairi Suliman
(2019) stated that Social media has become the most crucial online platform which
functions to help connect people. People use social media for different purposes;
meanwhile, pupils use social media widely in their daily routine and learning activities
including writing. Hence, this study attempts to seek the use of social media to assist in
writing skills among secondary school pupils. Data was collected via a questionnaire
survey from 40 students in one secondary school. This study shows that respondents
realized the benefit of using social media to assist writing but they did not spend much

a few. Nowadays Facebook technology seems to play an important part for the social
life of so many becoming more and more popular as a main means of communication,
that it could also meet an educational need. Thus it could play a distinguished role in
foreign language learning and teaching. Several studies investigate using different
technologies in learning and teaching, in particular, foreign language learning. Still, rare
studies were interested precisely in the role of Facebook in learning foreign languages.
In this study was intended to assess the role and effectiveness of Facebook use in
vocabulary learning. Particularly, the research attempts to answer the question. Can
social media affect students’ development and progress in the foreign language? In
order to discover the answer to this question of the study, a project based on Facebook
for the experimental group was conceived. It was assumed that significant differences
were to be found between the groups using social media for learning purposes and
those who did not in developing vocabulary knowledge. The study was conducted with a
number of 127 students of the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Oradea, 1st
group. It is a rather innovative study as there are not many similar studies using the
value Facebook can add to learning performed in Romania. The results of the study did
not support the assumption that the experimental group would outperform the control
group, as the differences between the two groups were not that significant. However,
there was an improvement in both of the groups from pre-test to post-test scores.
In addition Oghenetega and Ejedafiru (2014) submit that social media have

are one of the most used communication methods of today's world. Their use in
different fields has been examined in several research studies. This study aims to
examine the effects of social media on student's behaviours which will mainly focus on
participation and social media related behaviours will also be assed with regard to using
Facebook. In order to collect the primary data, a general scanning model was used to
observe attitudes of high school students. The participants chosen were 362 high
school students from level 9 to 12. The findings highlight that Facebook is used for
communication entertainment and sharing news, pictures and songs. In addition, their
Facebook profile picture is alone and students were aware that swearing is considered
a form of misconduct, which is a good sign. The study also indicates that students were
aware of protecting their social identity as their Facebook shares are not public.
Furthermore, they respect privacy as they do not use their friend's Facebook account.

five hundred and seventy-eight copies of the questionnaire distributed, one thousand
five hundred and eight were retrieved which represented a response rate of 95.5%. The
study revealed that majority of the respondents had mobile phones which also had
Internet facility on them and had knowledge of the existence of many media sites. The
study further confirmed that most of the respondents visit their social media sites using
their phones and spend between thirty minutes to three hours per day. In addition the
study revealed that the use of social media sites had affected academic performance of
the respondents negatively and that there was direct relationship between the use of
social media sites and academic performance. The study recommends among others
that, students with mobile phones having internet facility should be encouraged to use it
to supplement their research in the library rather than the usual charting with friends all
the time. Students should be encouraged to limit the time they spend on their social
media sites per day and advise them to rather substitute those hours to read novels to
improve their knowledge. Since the use of social media sites had affected the academic
work of students negatively there is the urgent need for the introduction of students to
the availability of novels and other information resources or materials that can help them
academically.

prior research and social media activism. Theory and social media activism implications
are discussed.
According to Elda Tartari stated that 2015 Social media has a great impact on
student’s lives. They spend a considerable part of their time on these pages. Social
media includes social networking sites (SNSs), virtual gaming sites, video sites, projects
sites and blogs. Millions of students are using these Web 2.0 tools worldwide, there
hasn’t been much research regarding the educational use of social networking. The
purpose of this study is to investigate attitudes toward the use of social media in
learning process. The findings suggest that social media and social network sites in
supplement to their curriculum showed that they loved spending time on SNSs, and
exercises, videos and other sharing in group are useful for their academic purposes.

with different learning styles approach learning differently. With the rise of social media
technologies, investigating the effect of these styles on their intentions to use social
media for learning has become all the more important. This study explored the factors
affecting students’ intentions to use social media for learning based on their learning
styles participatory, collaborative, and independent, using the social media acceptance
model. By convenience sampling, 300 Malaysian students were recruited via an online
survey. The survey was prepared by drawing on the social media acceptance model. It
was piloted before the final data collection step was conducted in August 2013. The
demographic details of the students were analysed using Statistical Program for Social
Sciences 21, while path modelling and multivariate analyses were conducted using
SmartPLS 2.0. The results revealed the significant effect of Self and Performance on
students’ intentions to use social media regardless of their learning styles. A pair-wise
comparison revealed that Self was more significant in participatory students than in
collaborative students. Effort was found to be the least significant factor, indicating the
popularity of social media among students. Further insight into the different factors that
