THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE ON STUDENTS' LEARNING CONCENTRATION: A LITERATURE
Keywords:
Social Media, Learning Concentration, Students, Literature Review, Digital Literacy.Abstract
The increasing use of social media has significantly influenced students' learning activities. Although social media offers educational benefits, excessive use may reduce students' learning concentration. This study aims to examine the impact of social media use on students' learning concentration through a literature review. A qualitative library research approach was employed by reviewing ten national and international journal articles published within the last five years. The selected studies were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that excessive social media use generally decreases learning concentration by increasing distractions, multitasking, social media addiction, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and poor sleep quality. However, social media can also support learning when used for educational purposes, such as accessing learning materials, participating in academic discussions, and improving learning motivation. Overall, the impact of social media depends on its intensity and purpose of use. Therefore, responsible social media use and digital literacy are essential to maximize its educational benefits while minimizing its negative effects on students' learning concentration
