Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between social media usage and academic
performance among university students. Through a review of existing literature, it
examines how platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter influence study
habits, concentration, and overall academic outcomes. The findings suggest a
complex interaction where moderate use may support academic engagement, while
excessive use can lead to decreased performance.

Introduction

Social media has become an integral part of students' lives, offering both
opportunities and distractions. Understanding its impact on academic performance
is crucial for educators and students alike.

Literature Review

Studies indicate that social media can both positively and negatively affect
academic outcomes. For instance, Junco (2012) found that time spent on Facebook
was negatively related to overall GPA, while other research suggests that
educational use of social media can enhance learning experiences (Tess, 2013).

Methodology

This paper conducts a qualitative review of existing studies on social media usage
and academic performance, analyzing data from peer-reviewed journals and
academic articles.

Findings
The review reveals that while social media can serve as a tool for academic
collaboration and information sharing, excessive use, particularly for non-
academic purposes, is associated with lower academic achievement.

Conclusion

Balancing social media use is essential for academic success. Students should be
encouraged to use these platforms mindfully, leveraging their benefits while
minimizing potential distractions.
