Abstract
Today, social media platforms play a significant
role in shaping both the academic and social activities of college students.
The present study investigates how the use of social media influences the
learning behaviour and academic engagement of college students. A quantitative
descriptive research design was employed for the study. Data were collected
from 100 undergraduate students of Bapujee College, Sarthebari through a self-constructed
questionnaire using the simple random sampling. Percentage analysis was used to
analyse the collected data with the help of SPSS. The findings indicate that
social media plays a positive role in enhancing access to learning resources,
peer interaction, and academic engagement when used for educational purposes.
However, excessive use negatively affects concentration and time management
among some students. The study concludes that guided and purposeful use of
social media can significantly support students’ learning behaviour and
academic engagement.
