 ABSTRACT

Social Media are electronic administrations that offers individual the chance to make either an open
or semi-open profile inside a limited framework, add a rundown of others to with they share an
association and view and transverse their rundown of associations and those made by others inside
the framework. Along these lines, this study was completed with the point of looking at the effect of
utilization of social media on students' scholarly execution in name of institute. In order to quantify
online life stages a poll was created dependent on past literary works. The autonomous factors
include: time suitability, time length, Nature of Usage, Health Addiction, Friend-People association
and security/protection issues while the needy variable was understudy scholarly execution. This
study received illustrative and logical research plan. It additionally utilized the utilization of cross-
sectional review method using overview polls that contains 42 things with a Likert Scale (Disagree-
1 and 5 for Agree). The sample of 102 students from name of College was chosen utilizing
advantageous inspecting technique. The information gathered was investigated using description
means and relapse by means of SPSS 21. The Pearson's connection coefficients of four autonomous
are corresponded with students scholarly execution while two are definitely not. Nonetheless,
utilizing the relapse investigation four factors is critical which include: Time fittingness, human
companion association, nature of Usage and wellbeing enslavement while Time term and
security/protection issues are not huge. Consequently, considering the unusual utilization of Social
media stages by understudies, it is practical that Universities and schools in Malaysia teach their
understudies to decidedly utilize these stages for instructive purposes which will inevitably result in
a positive effect on their scholarly execution.

KEY TERMS: Social media, Academic performance, Time appropriateness, Time duration, friend-
people connection, nature of usage, health addiction and security/privacy problems.
1. INTRODUCTION

The utilization of social media among students has achieved abnormal states and has influenced
their study time, poor sentence structure and wrong spellings when associating via web-based
networking media just as occupying their consideration from their examinations. Students invest a
lot of their study time in interpersonal organizations than in their scholarly endeavors and it has
influenced their Grade Point Average (GPA).

Examination on effect of social media was done here in Noida which concentrated on students
scholastic execution in tertiary foundation only a couple of looks into has been done as such far in
the tertiary establishment relating this point and the analyst's respondent were in formation
innovation students. The more youthful age talked about in this research paper are school students
between the ages of 12 to 19 years of age. A couple of the platforms they use are Facebook,
YouTube, Google, and numerous others that will be talked about in the discoveries of this
exploration. The more youthful age are the people that will lead our reality later on, they should be
knowledgeable to have the capacity to affect this world and make Egypt a superior nation making
progress toward progress. Hence, inquire about must be directed about the diverse things they are
presented to, that may influence them adversely or emphatically. This research means to survey the
recurrence at which the students are person to person communication, and whether it has any impact
on their scholastic execution. On the off chance that there is an effect on their scholastic execution,
how can it impact it. Every one of these inquiries will be replied through this research paper. As we
know nothing, intriguing is ever totally uneven, so it is for social media as it accompanies both
positive and negative impacts. There is a relationship between web based life use and scholastic
execution of understudies in colleges. There have been different perspectives and assessments which
perceive four noteworthy focal points of online networking use in advanced education. These
incorporate; upgrading relationship, improving learning inspiration, offering customized course
material, and creating collective capacities (Wheeler, Yeomans and Wheeler,2008; Rifkin,
Longenecker, Leach and Ortia,2009). Additionally, Licari et al (2007), contended that understudies
are socially associated with each other and in this way share their day by day learning encounters
and do discussion on different points through web based life though Kuppuswamy and Shankar
(2010), looked into that informal community sites catch understudies' eye and after that occupies it
towards non-instructive and unseemly activities including futile visiting.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

 “Paul Kirschner and Aaryn Karpinski define Facebook and other social network sites as an
online directory that allows people to find their friends, family and colleagues through looking
them up on social network sites (Kirschner and Karpinski, 2010). Curtis states that teens all
over the world are starting to lose interest in the use of Facebook and are using Snapchat,
Twitter and Instagram (Curtis, 2013).”

 “Victoria Rideout states that, among the younger generation, the time they spend on social
media, what she calls ‘entertainment media’ is “more than twice the average amount of time
spent in school each year.” (Rideout, 2012, p.5) She also adds that an American child spends on
average seven and a half hours a day just for having fun on the media, not only that, but they
multi-task, between all the different media they use. For example, they can be listening to
music, sending a tweet and also posting on Facebook. Rideout says, that since social media is
seven days a week, unlike school or having a full-time job, over the years the amount of time
one could spend over the internet “has exploded” (Rideout, 2012, p. 5).”
 “Abelardo Pardo believes that technology offers a platform for innovation, and allows its users
to express their opinions about how they feel towards the information being published. He adds
that, social media is also a platform that allows students to interact with one another, with their
teachers and communities that share their same education. Pardo also states that these types of
interaction are “an essential part of how humans learn.” (Pardo, 2013, p. 45).”

 “Kirschner and Karpinski, discuss Wim Veen’s new term, “Homo Zapien’s”, which refers to
the learners of the new generation, and the new way theyuse to learn. This newway is known
as “meta-cognitive skills,” meaning they learn on their own without the need for instructions, it
is also called “discover-based learning.” They also add that, the younger generation shares an
unclear bond with technology since their birth, leading them to multi-task. They note that 46%
of the younger generation who access the internet use it to help them with their school
assignments (Kirschner and Karpinski, 2010).”

 “June An discusses in her research a theory called ‘Signaling Theory’, this theory refers to how
individuals on social network sites present themselves, and develop their identities and build
trust with others. She also adds that, by having many friends on the different platforms, this
causes the individual to lose the trust of their friends because they start adding people they do
not know, to show others how popular they are (An, 2011b).”

 “Kaveri Subrahmanyam and Patricia Greenfield state that using online communication has both
negative and positive effects, because there are harmful ways in which the internet could be
used. They also state that nowadays, schools are trying their best to control how students use
digital media on school grounds (Subrahmanyam and Greenfield,2008). In some schools,
leaders believe that social media has a positive impact on the development of the students’
education. In other schools, leaders have banned the access of social network sites, because
they fear the students’ interaction on them, although, they know the positive impact social
media has on the students’ education (Ahn,2010). An also states that the examples of the media
platforms the younger generation use are: YouTube, to share and stream videos, and Facebook,
to have a complete identity online, and a network of friends. An says, researchers look at the
profiles of the social media users as part of the process needed for the students to develop their
identity (An, 2010).”

 “Gwenn Schurig O’Keeffe and Kathleen Clarke-Pearson believe that there are negative impacts
caused by social media, which include accessing inappropriate content and not “understanding
online privacy.” They also say that, there is online harassment and cyberbullying, which is
mostly caused by risks of peer to peer engagement (O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson, 2011).”

 “Rideout, has interviewed teachers, to find out their opinions regarding the effect entertainment
media has on the students’ academic performance; 71% of the teachers believe it has negatively
impacted the students’ attention span;58% of teachers believe that social media has negatively
impacted their writing skills, due to their regular use slang language and word abbreviations.
The rest of the teachers believed it impacted both their face-to-face communication skills and
their critical thinking skills (Rideout, 2012). She quotes a middle school math teacher who said,
“The instant rewards of video games have made activities that require depth of commitment
much harder for the kids.” (Rideout, 2012, p. 8) Rideout adds that the positive impact caused
by the students’ use of the entertainment media according to the teachers she interviewed is
their reading skills, it improved 46%, their math skills improved54%, their writing skills
improved 39% and their science skills improved 51%. More of the positive impacts caused by
entertainment media in the opinion of 63% of the teachers is their ability to look-up information
 and find it, and another 34% of the teachers believe it improved their skills in “multi-tasking
effectively” (Rideout, 2012).”

 “According to O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson, in the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are
a couple of benefits to social media use. They believe one of the most important benefits of
social media is that it enhances how anindividual understands himself by engaging with others,
and becoming creative through blogging. This leads to better outcomes in their individual
school work. Another important benefit according to O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson, is
the fact that using social media gives students the opportunity to improve their learning, since
they have the chance to share knowledge with one another and conduct group projects more
efficiently (O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson, 2011).”

 “Victor Lavvy and Edith Sand’s research was conducted in a Tel Aviv School to determine the
effect of the types of friends on social media platforms of middle-school students. They
divided the types of friends into categories. “Reciprocal friends” which are friends that have
something in common with each other, such as academics and interests. A second group was
the “non-reciprocal friends”, those who turned down the “friendship offer” of another student.
They found that students with reciprocal friends in their class had a significant positive effect
on three of their test scores; Hebrew, Math and English. On the other hand, students that had no
common friends showed that there was a negative effect on the same three test scores. This tells
us that if students are in contact with friends who share the same interests, goals and education
on social media, then they are more likely to help each other in performing well in their studies,
due to motivation and other factors (Lavvy, 2012).”

 “A new term regarding education has been introduced by Jeff Cain and Katherine Chretien and
this term is known as ‘interprofessional education’. It means that, instead of each individual
learning on his/her own, different individuals come together to share the piece of knowledge
they have with others. This leads to improved outcomes as they learn from each other’s
experiences. This was first introduced amongst the health departments (Cain and Chretien,
2013). Therefore, there is an opportunity to make use of it within the students. This can be
achieved by utilizing social media to create study groups on Facebook, Skype, Blogs or any
medium that allows multi contact conversations and allowing them to share their assignments,
asking their peers questions they don’t understand.”

 “According to Napoleon Agidigbo, the result that different researchers and scholars have
reached regarding the impact of social media on the academic performance of students is that
there is no impact (Egedegbe, 2013). On the other hand, Dr. Patient Rambe states that social
media gives different drawbacks and opportunities that distinctively enable and disable
possibilities of having face-to-face interaction, as it liberates them from this obligation to the
availability of everything online. He also adds that Facebook as a learning environment has
given the opportunity to have multiple representations of students voices and has created an
“educative and aesthetic space.” Taking intoconsideration the opposing side, Facebook’s
learning environment has caused limitationsof individuals to realize their “self-interests”
(Rambe, 2011).”

 “Sanzhar Naizabekov concluded that social media causes procrastination as a result of its
distracting nature. It would take an individual who uses social media much more time than it
would take a focused individual to finish a task. Through procrastination emerges the second
negative impact, which is lack of motivation, because using social media with studying
develops negative attitude towards their individual work at school (Naizabekov, 2012).”

Masa'deh, Tahani Khatib, Huda Karajeh, 2015) showed that the greater part of the online life arrange clients were

population. Despite what might be expected, the exploration work done by Samir N. Hamade in 2013
demonstrated that the best preferred standpoint of interpersonal organizations was a superior association with
family and sidekicks and more relationship in social, political and social activities.

As per the consequences of the present examination, the vast majority of the understudies feel that internet-based

Male understudies utilize web-based social networking more than female clients not at all like past examinations

as far correspondence is concerned. Today humankind is collecting hugely from its reality in
minor correspondence perspective as well as in most academic exercises. Diverse types of
instruction including separation training has been generally belittled and encouraged somewhat
through these online life systems. Securing data both locally and universally from companions,
addresses or specialists is never again a battle when contrasted with the olden days and the web
is a definitive ace behind this achievement. "Social media is a useful servant yet a hazardous
ace" and can likewise be "portrayed as a two-edge sword" and thusly, clients particularly
understudies must be alert about its threats and be reasonable in its use.

The idea of Social media as a valuable servant yet a hazardous ace" and a two edge sword has
been uncovered in the discoveries of the examination that, regardless of the advantages that
understudies can saddle from online life systems, for example, sharing of data, building
relationship, sharing in gathering exchanges from close and far among others, there is to some
degree enslavement and diversion of consideration brought about by the utilization of social
media which could have genuine results on the scholarly existence of understudies.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS
In the light of the findings, the following recommendations are made:

1. Seminars should be organized in the various schools or faculties to enlightenstudents more

about the possible implications of social media usage on their academic
performance.
2. Students should make sure that they use these social networking sites judiciously to ensure
that they do not become detrimental to their academics.

4. Students must minimize the time they spend on social media to avoid being obsessed by
these sites for unnecessary chatting.
