THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction:

Social media, which refers to websites where people may

share personal messages, information, thoughts, photographs,
and videos, has become an important element of people's daily
communication activities, particularly among students. The
efficiency and simplicity of using social media or social
networking for business, entertainment, and education has made
it a worldwide phenomenon.

Social Media has a significant role in the everyday lives

of children. The way media influence children can be both
positive and negative. HUMSS students frequently use social
media sites for a variety of reasons, including for
educational purposes, as well as for enjoyment purposes via
social media delivers any data you require in a very simple
and quick manner the fraction of a second the way you use
social media is determined by a number of factors. Person to
person because it has both positive and negative effects.
Social media had developed a major influence on society,
specifically on students. Main source of distraction for
children, resulting in a drop in overall performance the
performance of students, particularly those who are
struggling, is deteriorating. While studying, they frequently
check Facebook and Twitter.

They are quite active viewing a variety of different

websites than an educational site for long periods of time,
which results in a very it has a detrimental impact on their
minds and causes a lot of stress. Students, who are causing
health problems as well as a rift in the family. People try to
multitask by browsing social media sites at the same time
those who are studying demonstrate a drop in academic
performance. Their aptitude the ability to focus on the work

at hand is greatly reduced YouTube's distractions, for

example, Facebook or Twitter are two popular social media
platforms.

Review of Related Literature:

Foreign

"This is very scary. Everybody be safe, social distance,

and wash hands please." "This has definitely been an odd
semester. I'm very nervous for how the rest of the semester is
going to go!" "I am trying to not to be too afraid. I work in
the medical field. It can be so scary." These are statements
taken directly from my students this semester. How was I able
to have my students open up so intimately and honestly? I use
Course Networking, an academic social networking platform that
can be integrated into Canvas, and have done so for years. I
first started using it as a chance to get to know my students
more since I never get to meet them face-to-face, often
posting what we did over the weekend, our favorite TV shows
and books, and discuss topics from the classroom that have
popped up in everyday life. Then the pandemic hit and my
students' lives were turned upside down. Some were forced to
move out of their campus housing, many lost their jobs, and
all them had their classes go completely online. Campus
leadership constantly worries how this pandemic might be
affecting our students. We are told to reach out and let the
students know we are here for them. We are encouraged to have
frequent communication with them. And with Course Networking,
this was already in place in my classes at the beginning of
the semester. I have been able to reach out to my students
each week and ask them how they are doing, and they are able
to share with others how much their lives have changed. And
thanks to a social media platform, my students and I are
scared together, we are overwhelmed together, and we are alone
together. But we are together.

Are Social Media Sites a Platform for Formal or Informal

Learning? Students' Experiences in Institutions of Higher
Education

Mpungose, Cedric Bheki

International Journal of Higher Education, v9 n5 p300-311 2020

By being oblivious to the recent paradigm shift from formal

learning to informal learning platforms, higher education
institutions (HEIs) disadvantage student learning in the
digital age. With the aim of bringing awareness of the need to
shift from the use of learning management systems (LMS) to
social media sites (SMS), this study explores students'
experiences of the use of SMS for learning science modules.
This qualitative interpretive case study was carried out at
two universities, with electronic reflective activities, Zoom
focus group interviews and WhatsApp one-on-one semi-structured
interviews used to generate data. The sample was a total of 47
students purposively selected from science modules in a
teacher education programmed at two schools of education, one
in South Africa and one in the United States of America. Data
were thematically analyzed and framed by social constructivism
and connectivism. Findings indicated that learning of science
modules is mainly through LMS, at the expense of SMS which are
preferred by the students. The study concludes that since SMS
are used effectively for students' communication and
collaboration outside of the lecture hall, then HEIs need to
shift to thinking about bringing these SMS inside and putting
them to use for effective learning.

This research set out to determine the use of a social

networking platform, Facebook, as a medium for learning and
teaching. Using a combination of the unified theory of
acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model, Information
Systems (IS) success model and the educational use of Facebook
theory, a conceptual framework was developed for
implementation of mobile learning and teaching. Structural
equation modelling (SEM) was used to determine a model for the
implementation of mobile learning and teaching. A sample of
330 respondents was used in this research. The data were
analyzed using structural equation modelling. The aim was to
determine to what extent mobile learning is acceptable to
colleges of education in Nigeria. Lecturers from a federal
college of education in Nigeria were used to test the
implementation of mobile learning using Facebook as a medium
of communication. Four courses were selected as part of the
intervention programmed. The research revealed that m-learning
significantly improves the teaching and learning conditions in
colleges of education, specifically by reducing the
inadequacies of physical facilities, and by improving the
reading culture and performance of students. The results
further indicate that most of the stakeholders are satisfied
with the benefits of m-learning and wish to continue using

Factors That Influence Instructors' Integration of Social

Media Platforms into Higher Education Pedagogy in Ghana

Ananga, Patricia
Journal of Educational Issues, v6 n2 p118-138 2020
Higher Education (HE) institutions have been exploring new
approaches that will enable them to manage with the increasing
demand of access to education. One key area is in the usage of
new models, new innovations, and new ways of delivering the
curriculum, connecting students with their instructors such as
the use of Social Media (SM) in teaching. This paper examined
the factors that influence instructors' use of SM in Ghanaian
HE pedagogy. The study employed the concurrent triangulation
 CAMP TINIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

mixed method approach using questionnaire and semi-structured

interview guide to obtain data from two hundred and thirty-
five (235) instructors who were selected using the multistage
sampling technique from the University of Education, Winneba
(UEW) and the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC). The
key findings point to the fact that instructors' professional
rank, intrinsic drive, functionality of SM platforms, user
friendliness, motivation, ease of use of the SM platforms,
access to internet connection and ease of communication in
using the platforms were the factors that influenced
instructors use of SM for teaching. The study concludes by
indicating the implications of the findings for policy on the
use of SM for delivering instruction in Ghana and recommends
the need for HE authorities to come up with motivational
packages that would encourage instructors to integrate SM into
the pedagogy of HE in Ghana.

Social Media as an Information Source of Political Learning in

Online Education

Intyaswati, Drina; Maryani, Eni; Sugiana, Dadang; Venus, Anter

SAGE Open, v11 n2 Apr-Jun 2021

The use of social media as a learning process is inevitable,

as students need to be politically inclined. This study wants
to contribute to the lack of research on the topic of
political material. Complement the literature by evaluating
the effects of social media use on political knowledge. The
research used a cross-sectional survey method involving 508
undergraduate students of a distance learning program, Open
University, Indonesia. They were 218 males (42.9%) and 290
females (57.1%). The study results showed that the use of
social media influences political knowledge by mediating
online discussions over different social media platforms. The
more students use social media and discuss political issues,
the higher their level of knowledge. The study implies that
instructors can use social media to integrate the
 CAMP TINIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

instructional design of relevant courses that facilitate

political discussion to learn for the acquisition of students'
political knowledge.

Local

Social Media Influence: Performative Authenticity and

the Relational Work of Audience Commodification in the
Philippines

This article examines issues linked to monetization in social

media platforms through an investigation of the work of social
media influence in the Philippines. Based on a series of
semistructured interviews with Filipino influencers, we asked
how influencers understand, engage, and commodify the audience
for their content. We suggest that social media influence work
in the Philippines is defined by globally connected but
locally rooted practices of performed authenticity through
which creators employ conscious and identifiable strategies to
cultivate a local audience that mostly occupies very different
socioeconomic, linguistic, and cultural positions from the
creators themselves. We argue that understanding authenticity
as work that can be performed and negotiated between producers
and their audiences offers new and interesting directions in
approaching the commodification of social media audiences.

Students who spend more time on Facebook tend to have higher

grades:
Findings from a Philippine university

Studies show that university students are big fans of FB, but
to date, no local study documenting the association between FB
use and academic performance among Filipino college students
has yet been published. Thus, this research investigated the
extent of FB use among students in a private university in the
 CAMP TINIO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Philippines and correlated it to their General Weighted

Average (GWA). A total of six hundred eighty-six (686)
freshmen and sophomores participated in the survey. Results
showed a weak but positive correlation between FB use and GWA,
implying that more time spent on FB is associated with better
academic performance. This may be attributed to the finding
that most of the students use Facebook to update themselves on
school activities and work with other students in completing
course and school requirements. The students spend an average
of 2 hours every week using Facebook, peaking during the
weekends. This study provides evidence that FB offers a useful
platform for students’ academic communication. Details of
school-related FB use by students as well as teachers may be
subjects for future studies.

Theoretical Framework

Social media is now a pervasive element impacting the

social and cultural fabric of our society. It has
revolutionized the way we communicate, interact and socialize.

They use different categories of the social media tools

for academic and non-academic purposes. Instructors agree on
the advantages of social media usage on social behavior of
students but are unsure of the disadvantages.

Common perception on advantages include ability of

students to share ideas and knowledge with a wider and more
varied audience, collaborate with other students in achieving
the goal of a project, improve students’ connectedness to
communities and understand community issues in a better way.

Common concerns include physical inactivity,

unproductivity and distraction, introversion, exposure to
bullying and domination attitudes; and mental dullness.

Identifying discipline-based differences and similarities

on instructors’ usage, preferences of social media and
perceptions of social media on social behavior of students,
which can help in discerning positive and negative factors.
