The social media use and the study habits of millennialsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Social media use and social networking poured internationally in the present that no academic institutions could stop its impact on education. Researches were conducted on the impact of these technologies and its effectivity to certain school conditions. Hence, this study aimed at describing the extent of the usage of social media as a vehicle to the improvement of study habits of the Carolinians especially to the stratified proportionate and randomly chosen 50 Grade Ten students of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education Department – South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Descriptive survey research using simple percentage, mean and standard deviation was done using an adapted survey questionnaire which was tested for face and content validity. To obtain reliability, the tool was pilot tested and was proven to be reliable (α = 0.891) using Cronbach‘s Alpha. Based on the gathered data, students spent most of their time in social networking sites whether on a typical day (28%) or weekend (46%) and they usually do this inside their bedroom (46%) or in an internet café (54%) outside. They usually use their mobile phones (76%) to visit social sites and the majority (34%) received less parental support. In terms of the students‘ level of study habit, it was rated average ( x = 3.32, SD = 0.33). This means that the use of social media does not give a negative influence on the study habits of the students in this study. Even if most of them utilized whatever available technology they have such as their mobile phones and they spend most of their time on internet cafés, it was recommended that parental involvement and teachers‘ wise use of technology, pedagogy, and content should be strengthened for these partners still play a significant role in achieving success both in instruction and education.

social media as a vehicle to the improvement of study habits of the Carolinians especially to the stratified
proportionate and randomly chosen 50 Grade Ten students of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education
Department – South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Descriptive survey research using simple percentage,
mean and standard deviation was done using an adapted survey questionnaire which was tested for face and
content validity. To obtain reliability, the tool was pilot tested and was proven to be reliable (α = 0.891) using
Cronbach‘s Alpha. Based on the gathered data, students spent most of their time in social networking sites
whether on a typical day (28%) or weekend (46%) and they usually do this inside their bedroom (46%) or in an
internet café (54%) outside. They usually use their mobile phones (76%) to visit social sites and the majority
(34%) received less parental support. In terms of the students‘ level of study habit, it was rated average (
x =

of the students in this study. Even if most of them utilized whatever available technology they have such as their
mobile phones and they spend most of their time on internet cafés, it was recommended that parental
involvement and teachers‘ wise use of technology, pedagogy, and content should be strengthened for these
partners still play a significant role in achieving success both in instruction and education
The Social Media Use and the Study Habits of MillennialsAJHSSR Journal

Social Networking Media for Marketing Educational Institution Dr.Aravind TS
This document discusses using social media marketing as an effective student recruitment tool for higher educational institutions in Kerala. It finds that while higher ed institutions in Kerala still rely on traditional marketing, social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr can be powerful tools. The document recommends that institutions build social media teams, create workshops, and incorporate social media into curricula to engage target audiences like prospective students who are heavy social media users. When used strategically, social media allows low-cost communication and relationship building that can help with recruitment and placements.
AN INVESTIGATION ON THE CHANGES OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE CAUSED BY COVID-19IRJET Journal
This document analyzes changes in social media use in Tamil Nadu, India due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It conducted a survey of private college teachers and students on their social media usage during the pandemic. The study found that social media use doubled for both teachers and students, and time spent on online activities and academic research increased. It also found greater bonding between teachers and students through social media. Most teachers and students used digital technologies and social media for educational purposes for the first time during the pandemic. The top social media platforms used were YouTube, WhatsApp, and TikTok. The study showed differences between private and state universities in their use of new digital technologies for online education.
This document discusses how educators and academia can use social media to engage with students. It begins with an overview of social media and how it has evolved from early internet platforms to today's social networking sites. It then discusses how modern college students frequently use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and how academia can have a presence on these sites to share information with students. Specific statistics are presented about college student social media usage and preferences. The document advocates that academic departments, including campus learning centers, should have active social media profiles to engage with students where they are already online. Suggestions are provided for how social media can be used by tutors and learning centers to share schedules, events and tips with students.

The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted at MIT Junior Colleges on the use of social media in teaching and learning. The survey found that most teachers are aware of major social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube, but awareness decreases for less common sites. While teachers widely use social media personally, their use of it for teaching purposes varies - online videos are most commonly used. However, teachers also identified barriers to integrating social media in teaching, including concerns about the integrity of student submissions and privacy issues. Overall, most teachers see potential benefits of social media but challenges to its adoption in education.

CYBER SECURITY ENHANCEMENT IN NIGERIA. A CASE STUDY OF SIX STATES IN THE NORT...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Security plays an important role in human life and endeavors. Securing information and
disseminating are critical challenges in the present day. This study aimed at identifying innovative technologies
that aid cybercrimes and can constitute threats to cybersecurity in North Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria covering
its six States and the FCT Abuja. A survey research design was adopted. The researchers employed the use of
Google form in administering the structured questionnaire. The instruments were faced validated by one expert
each from ICT and security. Cronbach Alpha reliability Coefficient was employed and achieved 0.83 level of
coefficient. The population of the study was 200, comprising 100 undergraduate students from computer science
and Computer/Robotics Education, 80 ICT instructors, technologists and lecturers in the University and
Technical Colleges in the Middle Belt Nigeria using innovative technologies for their daily jobs and 20 officers
of the crime agency such as: Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) andEconomic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). Three research purposes and questions as well as the hypothesis guided the study
on Five (5) point Likert scale. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the three
research questions while three hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings
revealed that serious steps are needed to better secure the cybers against cybercrimes. Motivation, types, threats
and strategies for the prevention of cybercrimes were identified. The study recommends that government,
organizations and individuals should place emphasis on moral development, regular training of its employees,

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.

2. The recent emergence of social media worldwide is being noticed in every sphere
of life in India including education. The growing and ever increasing position of
Social media tools such as Face book, Twitter, Orkut, Blogs, Google docs has the
capacity to enhance education to a great extent especially media education
(Tiryakioglu, and Erzurum, 2011). Also the adaptability and familiarity of today’s
generation with applications such as Face book, Twitter, You Tube and Wikipedia
is quite visible. This is why many academicians believe that online media tools can
be used for ‘serious student centered learning’ (Goodyear and Ellis, 2008 as cited
in Selwyn, 2011). Amidst this technological transformation and growing tech-
savvy young population of India, the educational institutions are expected to catch
up with this world of social media applications and social media users. Since
‘social media’ itself contains media within it, so media schools in India are
expected to adopt it first for teaching purposes, sometimes as a subject and
sometimes as tool or teaching aide. This paper tries to find out, what is the modus
operandi of rationally chosen ten media schools of India in teaching journalism by
using social media and how much capable they are in doing so. The research tools
used for this study are: Personal interviews and Questionnaire.
Keywords: Face book, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Social media
3. Though uses of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education
primarily in adult education just started in 21st century, teaching New Media or
using new media in teaching journalism was out of sight till that time. Two
innovative projects attempted to use IT for imparting basic literacy skills, which
were – Commonwealth of Learning Literacy Project(1999-2002) and The Computer
Based Rural Literacy Project (2000) (Patel, 2002). But still there were no traces of
uses of New Media in teaching journalism.
In a personal communication through mail, Priya Rajsekhar, who teaches New
Media Journalism in Asian College of Journalism (ACJ), Chennai, says,
“I understand it is very nascent. I do not have documents but can say with some
degree of confidence that ACJ should be one of the very few colleges in the
country that offer a comprehensive New Media Journalism program. ”
Similar views were expressed by Mark Austin, concerned faculty of Indian Institute
of Journalism and New Media (IIJNM). He says:
“To the best of my knowledge, IIJNM was the first journalism school to offer a
course on new media when it opened 14 years ago.”
Though it is hard to find which institute was first to offer a course in New Media; it
is more difficult to find out which one among them started using first social media
in teaching journalism. Such uses are very recent experiments in today’s media
education in India.
4. In the backdrop of above mentioned scenario,
our study examines the following research
questions:
Which social media are being used for teaching
journalism in selected top most institutes?
In what way these institutes use social media as
part of teaching journalism? What is their modus
operandi?
How the concerned faculty evaluates teaching
through social media in comparison to traditional
teaching?
5. This study uses both the tools of questionnaire and personal interviews
to collect relevant data. First the top media schools have been selected
by consulting the ratings of www.htcampus.com, www.livemint.com,
http://indiatoday.intoday.in and www.thehindu.com. According to the
list of top ten media schools of India, given by these web sites, it was
checked whether New Media or Online Media was a part of their syllabi
or not. Only then there would be clear possibility to use social media as
part of journalism education. This is also important to note that though
in many of the media schools, New Media was part of the syllabus, but
they did not use social media in teaching process, so in spite of
contacting them, relevant informations could not be extracted. Apart
from top five institutions, Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC),
New Delhi, Asian College of Journalism (ACJ), Chennai, A.J. Kidwai MCRC,
Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi, Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media,
Bangalore, and Indraprastha College for Women, Delhi University, five
regional universities were taken as sample to maintain appropriate
representation. It has following two advantages:
6. A comparative study of the facilities available
in top media institutions and in that of
regional but old and traditional universities,
for teaching journalism and uses of social
media can be done.
How advance the regional and traditional
universities are in teaching New Media in
Journalism education, in comparison to the
top graded media institutions can be gauged.
7. Questionnaires were mailed to 15 of those media schools, which were
not only top in the list but also used social media in teaching journalism.
But only ten of them responded. The concerned faculty was contacted by
using the details given on websites of the respective media schools and
in some cases by using personal contacts. A list of media institutes
where questionnaires were sent and we got responses is given below:
Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), New Delhi
Asian College of Journalism (ACJ), Chennai
A.J. Kidwai (AJK) MCRC, Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi
Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media (IIJNM), Bangalore
Indraprastha College for Women (IP College), Delhi university(DU), Delhi
Indraprastha University (IP), Delhi
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Aligarh
University of Madras, Chennai.
Kashmir University (KU), Srinagar, J&K.
Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), Awantipora, J&K.
8. The questionnaire is predominantly open-ended descriptive type asking
the concerned faculty in detail their choice of social media for teaching
and why that choice. Also questions stress upon the modus operandi of
using social media in their respective media schools and how is the
response of students towards such use. We tried to check, whether these
media schools provide appropriate facilities for using social media in
teaching. If such uses are being practiced, then what is the process of
assessments, have been tried to find out. Since the teachers have their
exposure in teaching through traditional medium also, it is imperative to
know their evaluation of teaching through social media in comparison to
traditional medium.
Since there is a scarcity of literature or secondary sources on this
particular subject, the views of the concerned faculty members through
personal communication have also been incorporated freely in the
introduction and in subsequent sections as primary sources.

16. According to the responses gathered from the concerned faculty of sample
institutes and universities, it is evident that they are in favour of making
present course pattern of journalism and mass communication more
interesting by providing the students sufficient exposure to the widely used
social media so that they can acquaint themselves with the nature of work in
an convergence oriented changing media industry.
Besides, to meet the ever growing challenges of media industry, well
equipped media lab and necessary infrastructure in journalism departments
must be provided as it affects the efficiency of the students. Though, some
private institutes and universities in metropolitan cities are having all the
basic facilities needed to meet the challenges of growing media, the
universities in remote areas like IUST in Awantipora, lack such facilities. The
Indian government is paying attention to such disparity and that’s why Indian
Institute of Mass Communication has recently opened its satellite branches in
Jammu, Aizawl, Amaravati, Dhenknal and Kotttayam with all basic resources.
During this research, it is found that many private and government
universities having a course on New Media, are only providing theoretical
knowledge to the students and do not aware them professionally on practical
aspect of it. This partial knowledge is not fruitful to the students as the
journalism field is less theoretical and more practical. So such partial
knowledge would cause lack of efficiency among the students and ultimately
17. Also, lack of expertise has been found among faculty members.
Most of the faculty members who teach New Media or Online Media
in various institutes and universities are either visiting faculty or
contract faculty. Very few permanent faculty members are teaching
this particular subject, which indicates that those teachers who are
academically qualified as per UGC norms are lacking professional
