Positive and Negative Impacts of Social Media on Academic Performance of Undergraduate Students of Applied Science Private University

Abstract

Purpose: We investigated students' plugs, tweets, and posts in this article to learn about their ideas and sentiments, as well as the network impact of their tweets and hot topics. Because of the recent coronavirus epidemic sweeping the globe, most people are remaining at home to prevent becoming sick and restricting the virus's transmission, which is why the bulk of discussions are taking place online. The majority of kids' feelings and activities on social media remain unknown. The text mining approach included sentiment and social media research. According to the findings, many had positive sentiments towards the tragedy. Such insights are vital when training kids to respond and aiding them learn to stand up to an unexpected infectious illness since it builds stability socially.

Methodology: Ethical data was gathered from 425 students at "Applied Science Private University" who were taking physics 101, calculus 101, and chemistry 101. A questionnaire serves as the data collecting tool.

Applications: The findings of our study give insight and recommendations for science teachers, legislators, and leaders in determining student and instructor needs.

Originality: The purpose of this research article is to offer and explore important approaches and processes for students to understand and love physics.

Findings: 70% of students taking part in the survey showed a strong desire to employ social media, yet social media’s impact on education is positive. More than 90% of college students utilize social media. Tiny communication devices, such as pocket computers, laptops, iPads, and even simple mobile phones, have seen rapid technological advancements, and such small communication devices may be used to access networks any time and from anyplace.
