 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
