| Summary: | Abstract
Focusing on both its advantages and drawbacks, this study looks at how social media use affects
the academic performance of Bangladeshi university students. As digital platforms increasingly
become part of daily life, social media has transformed how students learn, interact with peers,
and manage their academic responsibilities. On the other hand, too much use has been connected
to several academic difficulties, including poor concentration, poor time management, and
declining academic performance. Using a structured questionnaire, data were gathered from 225
university students in Dhaka, Bangladesh, applying a quantitative research design. To assess the
relationship between social media participation and academic performance, statistical analyses
including correlation and comparative tests were done. The results show a clear negative
correlation between students' capacity to concentrate, finish homework, and control academic
stress and their use of social media. Emphasising the need for customised intervention strategies,
gender-based changes in the effect of social media were also found. Social media presents chances
for academic cooperation, resource sharing, and skill development, but overuse of it fuels
academic disengagement and stress. These findings highlight the need for institutional policies,
digital literacy campaigns, and moderation in social media use in order to minimise its negative
academic consequences. Encouraging responsible social media use to maximise academic success,
the study offers an insightful analysis for institutions, legislators, and students. Future studies
should investigate long-term consequences and the influence of newly developing social media
platforms on academic practices. |
