II. Scientific/Theoretical Background of the Study

The researcher’s theory on this study that the attention of the respondents is taking much longer
on the social media platforms that may alter their academic performance.

The most commonly used method for communication is social media networking. It is being used
by individuals belonging to every walk of life. Social media was widely accepted by public. There
are numerous online networking platforms that include but are not limited to Facebook, twitter,
Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, Flickr, snapchat, vine, Tumblr. The capacity
of Social Media networking to spread valuable data quickly has made it the quickest developing
method of association. Social media has changed numerous businesses, however the most impact
of it is in the classroom teaching and the overall education system. The use of digital technology
in education has attracted much interest in the recent years. It is a common expectation for
academic staff and administrators to investigate options to ensure the learning environment is
modern, relevant and capable of producing graduates with attributes aligned with the work
environment and their career expectations. Students engage with campus life carrying highly
sophisticated computing devices in their pockets. Frequently these students have used these
devices for a variety of purposes, which are unrelated to learning, thus highlighting a crucial
disconnect exists. Institutes of higher education are concerned that both their staff and students are
digitally literate, in the manner of learning delivery or method of instruction. Social media
networking usage refers to online space that is used by students to connect, share, communicate,
establish or maintain connection with others for academic and socialization purposes. Social media
networking as a communication medium is rising quickly, mostly in the prosperous development
of applications for mobile devices.

Social Media in Education Social media networking is sharing and generating knowledge, and all
of these features are of great value in the context of higher education. Social media plays an
important role in the field of education and student’s life. It is easier and convenient to access the
information, provide information and communicate via social media. Teachers and students are
connected to each other and can make use of these social media platforms for the working of their
education. Professors are expanding their Social Media usage to host live lectures, offer off hours
support for students, or even host student debates. Social media helps Teacher Educators to be
connected to their students off campus as well as with their ex-students. Teacher Educators use
social media as a way of teaching by creating groups and accounts for students where the
information can be accessed. Teacher Educators can share ideas with each other and point students
to Skype, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Facebook.

The twenty-first century is the world of technology where most of the people do not even imagine
their life without technology. Modern Technology in communication has no doubt turned the
complete world into a “Global Community.” It helps individuals to be better learned, open minded
and keeping informed with global growths. Technology discloses humanity to a better way of
doing things. Even our today’s day starts with alarm in mobile phone and ends with what’s app
messages on the smart phone, this situation is prevailing even in most of the rural areas. It can be
interpreted that half of all youngsters who have Internet access are also the members of social
networking sites, and use the web to make procedures and socialize with friends (Kist, 2008).

Social media has now become a very crucial part of our personal and professional life. The growth
of social media over the years has transformed how most users experience the internet. There have
been diverse reactions from academics and researchers on the impact of social networks and how
they affect academic performance. Hence, their academic performance must be managed well
keeping in view all the factors that can positively or negatively affect their academic achievement.
The students who are using the social media need to be monitored about their usage of these
websites.

A study is conducted on 132 students in order to examine the relationship of social media and
engagement of students with it& social media and grades of students. To examine this relationship
the students were divided into two groups, one group use twitter and the other group did not use
twitter account. It also post the announcements of class, and remain in touch with class fellows.
Junco and his coworkers (2011) surprised that the students of Twitter group achieve greater GPA;s
and higher scores than the other group. ( Junco, Heibergert, and Lokenet al, 2011)
