This document discusses the impacts of social media on students' academic performance. It notes that while social media allows for communication, overuse can negatively affect concentration, class participation, and grades. Several studies found that increased time spent on social media correlated with lower GPAs and that excessive social media use negatively impacted academic performance. However, moderate social media use that incorporates academic discussions can potentially improve outcomes. The present study aims to assess the effect of social media on students' academic performance at SEA-ITT for the 2021 academic year.
