The Double-Edged Sword of Social Media: Effects on Student Learning and Academic Performance

Author(s) GURINDER KAUR
Country India
Abstract The study explores the impact of social media usage on the academic performance of Senior High School students in the context of modern learning environments. With nearly all teens engaging in social media daily, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube are increasingly used for educational purposes, fostering collaboration and knowledge expansion. However, excessive use of social media, particularly for non-academic purposes, has been linked to decreased academic performance. This research investigates how different types and frequencies of social media use relate to students' academic success, focusing on the balance between academic work and social activities. The study examines the implications of social media multitasking, which has been shown to distract students and reduce learning efficiency. It also evaluates how the shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has further integrated social media into education. The findings suggest that while social media can offer academic benefits, excessive and non-purposeful use can negatively effects students' academic performance. The study concludes by offering recommendations for future research, such as investigating the long-term effects of social media use on academics and developing strategies for students to optimize their social media engagement for educational purposes.
