USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACTS ON ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE OF GRADE-11 STUDENTS
INTRODUCTION
Social media has exploded as a category of online discourse where people create content, share
it, bookmark it, and network at a prodigious rate. Because of its ease of use, speed and reach,
social media is fast changing the public discourse in society and setting trends and agenda in
topics that range from the environment and politics to technology and the entertainment
industry(Asur and Huberman, 2010). In the last ten years, the online world has changed
dramatically, thanks to the invention of social media, young men and women now exchange
ideas, feelings, personal information, pictures and videos at a truly astonishing rate.
In the past years, social media websites have become common ; giving young people a new way
to interact with each other and communicate with the world. Social networking became popular
between 2004 and 2006, after Facebook and MySpace were created. Facebook, for example have
over 500 million members and it is still growing and approximately 85% of undergraduate
students are Facebook users ( Schneider, 2009). These numbers are expected to grow since
Facebook users will continue to grow.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Communicating through the internet and social media networking websites is quite different
from communicating in person- to- person situation. When users communicate through these
websites, they use things like instant message (IM) and chatting as well as status or Twitter
updates to talk to friend and express themselves (Kaitlin, 2010). Kaitlin (2010) futher opines that
social networking websites also affect the way we receive information and news. The site open
up different portals through which we get information and create mew diverse new outlets. Most
of the studies, Choney (2010), San miguel (2009) Enriquez ( 2010), Karpinski & Duberstein
(2009) , Khan (2009), Kubey et al (2010) conducted on students’ use of the social media sites
and its impact on academic performance focused on the G-11 students at trace college in the

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The rapid advancement of media technology has had a great impact on the way people
communicate on a daily basis. The growing dimension of the use of the social media among the
youth of today cannot be over emphasized. Over the years, social networking among students has
become more and more popular. It is a way to make connections, not only on campus but with
friends outside of school. Social networking is a way that helps people feel they belong to a
community due to the increase popularly of it, economists and professors and questioning
whether grades of students will not be affected by ow much time spent on these sites. Believe
that the use of technology such as internet is one of the most important factors that can influence
educational performance of G-11 students positively or adversely. Many parents and guirdians
are worried that G-11 students are spending too much time on facebook and other social media
sites and have not enough time to study. Tho parents are worried about students’ constant use of
social media sites, many students continue to utilize these sites on a daily basis. It is against this

social media sites on their academic work.
