The study suggests that utilizing social media can benefit the learning experience by increasing engagement and enhancing the communication between instructors and students, as well as peer‐to‐peer.…”

“…The study suggests that utilizing social media can benefit the learning experience by increasing engagement and enhancing the communication between instructors and students, as well as peer‐to‐peer. However, similar to the study by Lambić (2016), the author strictly used self‐report measures to determine the effectiveness and usefulness of social media platforms in class, indicating potentially unreliable results (Alshayeb, 2018).…”

“…Further, Lambić (2016) found a positive association between Facebook and academic performance when used for educational purposes. Similarly, Alshayeb (2018) argues that Facebook, WhatsApp, and Slack increase engagement and communication between students and teachers. However, both of the studies by Lambić and Alshayeb are limited due to their use of self‐report measures rather than objective data.…”

The detrimental effects of academic distraction have become increasingly problematic in recent years due to student media multitasking. In recent years, educators have gradually transitioned many classes to the online learning environment, effectively reducing teacher supervision. This has been greatly exacerbated with the advent of coronavirus disease 2019 and subsequent social distancing guidelines. In an effort to help students and educators better understand the implications of technology on academic distraction and academic performance, this literature review discusses the effects of three forms on technology on student distraction: laptops, smartphones, and social media use, particularly the social media platform Facebook. While the effects of student laptops on academic distraction are somewhat ambivalent, the debate is largely moot in the current educational environment. The detrimental effects of student smartphone and social media use on academic distraction are more conspicuous, especially with the pervasiveness of personal digital devices. Potential self‐regulatory and environmental interventions are discussed.

Social interaction and communication is basically orchestrated through Social Networking Sites (SNS) with Facebook being amongst the most popular ones. Previous research has shown users’ personality as a highly relevant factor when examining the way people behave virtually. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between Facebook usage and personality in children aged 10 to 13 years with a personal account on Facebook, defined in terms of a Five-Factor Model. The relationship between Facebook usage and users’ self-concept regarding their school performance and their happiness and satisfaction about life was also investigated. For this purpose, children’s teachers were asked to evaluate children’s school performance, in order to better examine the relationship between Facebook usage and users’ school performance. Three hundred and forty-eight (348) pupils of elementary and secondary schools in Patras (Greece) participated in the study. The results indicated that Facebook usage has a statistically significant association with personality traits like Neuroticism, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Moreover, children who perceived themselves as good pupils did not have a Facebook account. Also, Facebook usage has been found to be negatively related to users’ school performance, as assessed by their teachers. No statistically significant associations were found between Facebook usage and users’ self-perceptions regarding their happiness and general satisfaction with life.
