Abstract:
Can students' academic learning progress be positively impacted by social media platforms? This study attempts to answer this topic, among many others that face academics and students in developing nations. Social media sites give students ongoing opportunities to advance their education. Due to the positive effects social media platforms have on improving learning and performance, students in developing nations are starting to use them to their advantage. Students make effective use of it to enhance their academic performance and learning progress. However, because social media sites can be distracting to students, the effects of these platforms on their academic learning progress are occasionally misunderstood. Many academics think that social media sites have no beneficial effects on students' intellectual development. The purpose of this study is to look into how social networking sites affect students' academic development. Additionally, a quantitative research methodology is used in this study to examine how social media platforms affect undergraduate students. According to the study, social media platforms help students learn more academically and engage in self-directed learning (SDL), communication, and interaction. These results demonstrate the beneficial effects of social media on students' academic development.
