The use of
Facebook as a learning environment has been issue of contention in the
academic field. Questions regarding content ownership, privacy, stalking
and cyber bullying, and virtual integrity are often problems that
require consideration. In other words, within the university
environment, students exhibiting high addiction to social media, are
constantly indulged in activities that does not augur well for their
learning using the facebook platform.
That is to say, rather than share solutions and solve difficult school
lessons, they prefer to bully, make crazy comments and download or
upload unnecessary files that does not add a dime to their desired
knowledge in academics. These problems and many more are what prompted
this study.
Though conflicting evidence exists on the impact of Facebook on dedicated study time with some suggesting that Facebook users spend less time studying and achieve lower academic results compared to Facebook non-users. For instance, many times have i come across students who uses facebook on a daily basis but they have never in anyway improve in academic performance. Equally, others have been using the platform to increase their knowledge base searching for research information and other vital areas of academic. Though, it could not be ascertained yet whether those that are actually doing well in their studies all uses the facebook medium. But the truth yet remain, regardless how students use or perceive facebook, there is need to understand the educational purpose it serves. Moreso, the problem of low academic performance is a critical issue for concerned stakeholders in the educational sector. This is because we cannot fold our hands and watch the future leaders of this country rot away by engaging themselves in unwholesome activities via facebook. The consumption pattern of undergraduate students in the Ambrose Alli University is indeed a course of worry because majority are unaware of facebook potential to provide educational benefits to students. Incorporation of core purpose of using Facebook into the learning resources of university courses may impact positively on student, as they are able to integrate academic requirements with a social networking platform that they are familiar and highly engaged with. But the aspect of facebook use that has more profound impact has to be unravelled. This is the gap in which this present research aims to fill. Hence, the need to investigate perception of use of facebook for educational purpose by undergraduates.
