“…The results regarding the relationship between social media usage and GPA are inconsistent with previous research, which found that social media negatively impacts students' GPA (Junco & Cotton, 2012;Junco et al, 2010;Kalam et al, 2023;Karpinski et al, 2013;Masalimova et al, 2023;Yeboah & Ewur, 2014). For example, according to Shen's (2019) research, there is a negative correlation between the amount of time students spend on social media and their learning time and cumulative GPA.…”

Social media platforms have altered how individuals communicate, disseminate information, and interact with their surrounding environment. University students at forefront of embracing technology and digital culture exhibit heightened engagement with social media platforms. This phenomenon has generated significant interest and concern among educators, researchers, and parents due to its potential implications for academic achievement. Hence, it is crucial to examine relationship between utilization of social media platforms and academic performance of university students. This study aimed to identify social media use and relationship between the overall academic grade point average (GPA) and patterns of social media use. This study employed a quantitative methodology, and 192 university students were given questionnaire. The results revealed that the students most commonly utilized Telegram, with a usage rate of 85.9%, YouTube (59.9%), and WhatsApp (53.1%). The social media platforms most commonly utilized for educational purposes were YouTube (68.8%), Telegram (53.1%), WhatsApp (21.9%), and Google+ (19.3%), respectively. The results showed that more than 70% of the students spent at least two hours on social media, and most (67.7) spent more than 15 minutes. The results about reasons for social media use showed that the majority of students used social media for entertainment (63.6%), socializing (80.2%), staying up on breaking news (65.1%), shopping among females (48.4%), being productive while studying (46.4%), and distracting themselves from schoolwork (51.0%).

<p>It is unclear how social networks can be utilized in educational settings. An exploratory study was conducted to examine the differences between university students in Mexico and Spain in terms of their perceptions of knowledge and utilization of networks in the university environment. An overall sample of 378 students was collected from two public universities, one in Mexico and one in Spain. This study utilized descriptive statistics as part of a contingency analysis, X<sup>2</sup> with correction was used for the analysis of differences, Mann-Whitney U for the analysis of independence, Mantel-Haenszel test for association degree, Cramer's V for strength of association, Spearman's correlation coefficient for correlations. According to the results, the use of social networks is clearly related to country of origin, but not to gender. It seems that Instagram is a platform widely used by both Mexican and Spanish students, but it is not used in educational environments. Therefore, the use of social networks in higher education contexts differs by country, as does the knowledge of social bookmarking and the distribution of content to share information and resources.</p>
