Social Media Use and Junior High School Student’s Academic Performance in the...ijtsrd
This descriptive correlational study was conducted to determine the social media utilization and its effects on student’s academic performance in selected secondary schools in the Division of Northern Samar. This study utilized purposive sampling in determining the 1,144 Grade 10 student respondent from the following schools in Northern Samar Balicuatro area Allen National High School, San Isidro Agro Industrial High School, The majority of the students own only one 1 social media account. The findings also revealed that the students had good academic performance in all subjects, namely English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, Araling Panlipunan, MAPEH, ESP, and TVE. This resulted in an overall proficient academic performance. It was also found out that the best positive effect of using social media is its effectiveness in communicating with their friends. On the other hand, one of the prominent negative effects of social media on students is that social media is addictive and a challenge that affects their academic life. The findings also revealed that the profile and the social media utilization have no significant relationship with the students’ academic performance. The top school related problem that emerged is the reduced learning and research capabilities when utilizing social media. In general, the school related problems encountered by the students using social media were described as very alarming. The top personal problem is that in social media, the students are more prone to cyber bullying.

THE GRATIFICATION AND MISUSE PATTERNS OF FACEBOOK USE AMONG UNDERGRADUATE S...American Research Thoughts
This study explored the consequences of Facebook use in the lives of undergraduate
students and to what extent this social network site was subjective to their everyday requirements. In
this respect 100 college students from Govt. College Dharamshala were randomly chosen and after
reviewing several studies on Facebook use, a questionnaire containing 20 close-ended questions was
framed and circulated them in their free times. The collected data was tabled and analyzed with the
assistance of IBM SPSS 20. Finally, the study summarizes that the undergraduates access Facebook
for various purposes in their everyday life in which, academic search, online shopping, developing
(social) relations, sharing data, chatting, and killing loneliness are primary. The study also confirms
and supports the results of previous studies that the consumption of Facebook influences students’
academic, health and social life both negative and positive manners. It is alarmed that if the
dependency of students on Facebook is not taken seriously by parents, teachers and policymakers, it
would influence their social relationship, health status, moral attitude and academic performance to a
large manner in coming years.

The Internet and Student’s Performance
Presently, virtually all colleges in the country have broadband internet connections that promote ease of online learning. Moreover, the shift from paper-oriented learning to electronic models has diversified both the access and the use of internet in most schools. The internet technology is available for students in the United States in virtually are locations. It offers them an opportunity to interact with their tutors, gain access to academic libraries online, and submit their work with ease. In the United States, for example, the usage of internet has filled the education system to include school-based broadband connections. About while its numerous advantages are necessary, recent data from researchers indicate the need to regulate it to prevent poor student performance. In this study, I argue the internet addition and usage among students in the United States, especially in colleges, promotes poor academic performance because of the increase in the level of distraction which it brings.
(Add transitional Lines here)
According to researchers, the ability to retain memory is a contrast to interference. Working memory capacity weakens with an increase in distraction, such as noise in the environment. For students, the ability to concentrate and focus during the learning process is a major determinant of performance (Olesen et al. 1047–1048). Therefore, any distractions, in the form of movement or aces to materials that are none academic during the schedule distract them from concentrating on the teacher. With the introduction of e-learning and broadband services in the majority of schools, students easily ace the internet during classes although the goal is to allow them to access internet services for the sake of academic learning, research indicates that social norm prevails in most cases. While it is notable that most schools have restricted internet usage to prevent students from accessing certain websites, technological advancement in the United States and other nations allows the majority to bypass the restrictions easily (Craik 1). Argumentatively, even if they would not bypass the restriction, some of the most common sites of distractions include YouTube and Facebook. They are readily available from smartphones and laptops that offer students a virtual platform for interaction and socialization, which unfortunately a form of distraction that lowers their working memory.
Moreover, with an increase in the number of devices, which students can use to access the internet, the regulation and restriction of sites are less significant. For example, the majority of school computers lack drivers and software that support certain distractive aspects of learning such as games. However, the fact that students have laptops and smart phones, which have similar capabilities, means they can play their games with ease online. Moreover, the numerous gadgets su.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Influence of Facebook on Studying
1. Influence of Facebook on Studying<br />Throughout the years, there have been introductions to several social networking websites. None, however, as popular nor as successful as Facebook.com. Though the site has drastically increased in number of users, there are plenty of disadvantages to becoming a user yourself. One major con to having a Facebook account, in which this research essay will be focused, is how the persistent usage of the site has been a distraction for college students while studying, thus resulting in declining grades.<br />To start, Facebook’s population is a massive, constantly growing one. “To date, the site has over 500 million active members. Of that insurmountable tally, roughly 50 percent log in on any given day” (Facebook). With such substantial numbers as these, Facebook almost seems like a necessity rather than a luxury. As such, the site is often presented less as a mere method to stay connected with family and friends virtually and more as a tool to kill time, or procrastinate in most college students’ situations.<br />Today, as the number of Facebook users are at a rapid increase, both college and college-bound students alike make an enormous contribution. “There is no official number of current college student users at this point, yet around 85 percent of students attending a college of some sort have an active account” (TechCrunch). Thus, the new member total remains at a consistent rise. However, while the number of users increase, the opportunities that cause the fascination with Facebook, grow likewise.<br />Keeping in touch via social networking sites is not considered harmful or frowned-upon. For many college students to date, however, Facebook has grown from just a social networking site to an everyday task. “Whether it be in or out of class sessions, kids make it priority to check their Facebook profiles at least once each day, as proven by the estimated 35 million people who log on and update information on a daily basis” (Facebook). With numbers as such, decreased study hours and falling GPAs relate with more hours spent on Facebook.<br />Perhaps the biggest issue surrounding Facebook’s influence on school work is procrastination. Facebook indirectly causes procrastination as it serves as an alternative to assignments for school. Although it is not a direct lead to putting off work, it is the most common source used during class or dedicated homework time. The alternative is not always Facebook, though it is typically the favorite of most students and is usually extremely distracting.<br />Facebook activity itself does not lead to less studying and lower grades either. However, there is a relationship where more time spent on the site corresponds with lower grades and study hours. “Certain studies showed that Facebook users typically maintained GPAs ranging from 3.0 to 3.5, while non-Facebook users averaged 3.5 to 4.0 GPAs” (CBS4). “The time accredited to studying also differs significantly between users and non-users. Active users logged anywhere from one to five total hours per week studying whereas non-users put forth 11 to 15 hours per week. Those who do not use the site were said to have up to 88 percent more time devoted to working outside of class as well” (Ohio State Research Editorial). Overall, the GPAs are largely affected by the study efforts. The study efforts, however, reflect primarily on time dedicated to Facebook.<br />From past years until present, the issue with Facebook and assignment completion is not so much failure to complete given work, but more so the errors within the assignment. “Cindy Raisor, a technical writing and composition professor at Texas A&M University, noted that spelling and correct word choice were two of the top issues of late. Raisor’s overall key to preventing these issues are for students to remember that they are writing formally and should therefore include proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation” (The Battalion Online). By dedicating just as much time to Facebook as an essay for school, being able to distinguish the formal and informal writing habits is sometimes difficult for college students.<br />Recently, more studies have been conducted regarding Facebook’s interference with studying. “Research shows that even if Facebook was open as a background window while carrying out other tasks, less time is still applied to school work” (Facebook). On the contrary, many students are unaware less time is spent studying. As they multitask, more time is needed for completion of the school work and thus, more mistakes are made. When Facebook is not running as a background during school work, the percentages of tests and assignments are higher, however.<br />Health issues relating to the use of Facebook have also been taken into consideration. Foremost, the networking site is believed to becoming addictive for many of its users. “Today, it is extremely unlikely hearing teens go just a single day without checking their Facebook profiles. With mobile web technology at its finest, the rarity that a user would go just a day without connecting to their profile is that much greater” (Schumacher Suite 101).<br />Baring the social network’s addictiveness in mind, the physical and emotional health issues are seemingly a factor. “Though it is not a direct outcome of site overuse, the consequences of a numbed or insensitive personality are eerily rising as the time spent on Facebook does likewise” (Hitchcock Suite 101). The physical health impact is also a substantial one. “Though indirectly, students have become less physically active due to the individual desire to linger on the site. Thus, a healthy mind leads to a healthy body in the basic focus in this particular scenario” (BBC News).<br />There are a plentiful of reasons that suggest why Facebook is the most common alternative for college students especially. The fact that such a high percentage of people in their teens and early twenties have an active membership to the social network is perhaps the most obvious of the rest. “Other reasons including Facebook-exclusive internet games, fan pages, business advertisements, and having the capability to document emotions, thoughts, or plans are all valid opinions as well” (Ezine Articles). Regardless the reason, the purpose of the site has certainly been refocused and provides a major interference in school work for students. Even so, it is the student who is responsible and is therefore liable to manage his or her time for study accordingly.<br />Lastly, Facebook affects the allotted time for studying and homework through its various forms of communication within. With Facebook, you have a variety of communication preferences. Whether it be posting a status, writing on a friend’s profile wall, utilizing the exclusive instant messaging system, or leaving a comment on somebody else’s statuses, the varying choices you are provided gives a new, more fresh method to communicate with friends and family. Also, it makes it easier for the user to remain entertained.<br />In conclusion, Facebook and other social networking websites have become a severe interference with students and their time for studying and working on class assignments. While the use of such websites is not discouraged, they subject you to procrastination easily, risk the quality of your assignment, and take away dedicated time to study for classes. Although they are not directly tied with the lowering of grades, it is proven that users suffer from worse grades and GPAs than those of non-users. The time spent working on assignments and studying class materials is also significantly larger of that of non-users than those who use Facebook. This is why Facebook and other media is distracting and how spending much activity on said websites instead of focusing on school work can interfere and influence your grades.<br />Works Cited<br />Arrington, Michael. quot;
