Abstract

The present study investigates the impact of digital social networking on educational interest and academic achievement among secondary school students. In the digital era, students frequently used social networking platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Telegram for academic and social interaction. The study aimed to examine the relationship between digital social networking, educational interest, and academic achievement among secondary school students. The descriptive survey approach was used for the investigation. A random sample of 200 secondary school pupils was recruited. The analysis was carried out using statistical approaches such as mean, standard deviation, t-test, and correlation coefficient. The findings showed a strong link between digital social networking and academic accomplishment. Proper and educational usage of social networking improves learning behavior and academic achievement.
