A recent study in one school in Britain has shown that Facebook has very
negative impact on the performance of students in school. What is all
about?
The school has conducted research and testing to determine whether
social networks, and facebook as the most popular among them, affecting in any
way the performance of students. The testing was done so that for a period of
three months, the first two months access to facebook was denied and the third
month access to facebook was allowed. The results showed that a sample of three
months was just enough to make a conclusion. In the third month, during the
period of facebook usage, it was noticed slight deterioration of grades, but
what is even more important is lack of concentration and poor knowledge
acceptance. In order to test the concentration level and the quality of
teaching, at the last week, lesson was carried out to make summary of what was
learned in every subject. In that summary students have participated and it
turned out that the results were much worse in the third month. This test has
shown that facebook and other social networks have the most negative influence
on quality of education.
The problem does not occur only in case when
students were actually logged on to facebook and didn抰 pay attention to what
teacher says. The problem is in the fact that "current events" on the facebook
distract them also in the time when they are not connected to it. Social
networks are used by teenagers as a way to call the meeting with some person, to
declare love and so on which in aspect of socialization is much easier to do
than in actual world! In those situations, waiting for a response creates the
need for constantly visiting facebook.
All this mentioned, and many other
elements are the reason why the results of the test showed that the use of
social networks in school has a negative impact on grades, monitoring of
teaching and the concentration of students. One more reason to block facebook in
schools.
