CHAPTER 2 REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents a review studies that related related to the study about the effects of facebook.This research focused to analyzing the effect of facebook on students performance.According to comprehensive literature review by Ellison (2007), the role of facebook in higher education is attributed to the creation of virtual classes.The review has analysed massive research database around the world to make this review comprehensive in its coverage for almost all aspects of an endeavo r to give an explanation ex planation for the diverse roles of facebook in higher education classes.
THE EFFECTS OF FACEBOOK USAGE ON STUDENT’S ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE
Facebook being social networking sites provides a n online platform on which students create profiles, promote and share information and contents and have interactions with contacts both known and unknown (Kirkpatrick, 2010). Facebook have ex panded recently, which have led to its use by b y people of all generations extentsively. Seve ral types of research examine this online platform attraction and its persuasive character and the reason that cause people of every kind and different ages to this communicate. Other studies show that facebook extention presence can have effects that are harmful to academic performance. If students spend most of their for time on facebook, their academic performance will reduce and thus their grades (Kirkpatrick, 2010). A da y sudents should spend at least 30 -35 minutes surfing facebook. They actually surf for onl y three to four minutes on each visit v isit to be updated, but they severally visit facebook a day. Others spend eight on the website. Although students consider facebook is distracting and consuming a lot of time, they note that they the y can’t stop visiting the website because they prefer it and use it to contact family members and friends, whether or not encounter them each day, Tess (2013) argues that there is a variety of correlations that exists in the literature. Other studies though find a significant ne gative correlation between a student’s performance and use of facebook while others fine no correlations or weak correlations. Only a few studies come up with positive correlations though not with high-level significance. Interestingly, the neg ative correlations for the facebook usage and poor academic performance have been associated with personality traits
or other behavioral or psychological aspects rather than solely with the use of these platforms. EFFECT OF FACEBOOK FREQUENCY OF USE ON STUDENT’S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
According to Newman (2013) they get distraction from their studies, and a load of their working memory make it hard for them to have a focus and makes effective preparations of their homework. This will lead to result that are po or and decrease the achievements. Some studies show the attitudes, interests of students to the internet and their activities varry with their sex, personality, traits and age. Cultural backgrounds and characteristics differences give the suggestion that there is a needed to address the effects of students using faceboo k in various settings, which prompts to queries about the impact of faceboo k on students with distinguished characteristics and in distinguished cultural contents which is not predictable. Research Newman (2013) indicates that the stud y on whether facebook is by students affects their academic results, hence doing a theoretical background review and depected the research model that was proposed before they represented the method adopted to examine it. According to Ellison (2017) emphasizes on further investigation into the issue to some find more variables like focus and intervention that may be strongly related to academic performance.The negative correlation between facebook usage and academic ou tcomes may be justified by some negative impacts related to certain ways students use this social medium.He observes that some specific uses of this social media relate to improved academic performance while others contribute to lower aca demic results. According to Chand (2012) conducted an investigation on the popularity of famous social media network (Facebook) among university students with a special concern for the gender based comparison and the effect of the selected social medium on their academic performance. The researcher analyzed the patterns as well as the frequency of using facebook among college student with a major focus on gender differences and student opinion regarding the impacts that this medium has on academic performance .
