RESULTS/DISCUSSION
Some authors found no relationship between Facebook (FB) use and the grades.
There is a lack of consensus about this subject because incongruent results. It
can be caused by different methods and measures.
CONCLUSION
So, FB is not necessarily harmful, but it depends on the kind of use. FB time
should not be greater than study time, and FB not should be used simultaneously
with study. FB has also educational relevance: course groups, socialize course
content, share course related information etc.
More studies are needed about the subject what students do on FB: lurking,
sending messages, posting photos, etc., and how each kind of internet use affects
students performance. Furthermore, the relation between FB and academic
performance remains largely unanswered, especially because what the studies
has shown is a correlation and not a causal explanation.
