Keywords:
social networks, performance, negative etcAbstract
This study examines the problematics of how much lower do secondary school students use social networks and how these networks affect their education, respectively their success in school. In this research participated n = 150, students from the age of -12-15, in the city of Prishtina, and n = 3 teachers-classmasters. The model used in the study is the qualitative method. The results from the students’ questionnaire with a qualitative nature showed that 92% of these students are users of social networks. The results of this research also highlighted the need to understand that social networks have become an integral part of teenagers’ lives, creating both a habit and a psychological dependence on their use. From psychological point of view, the use of these technologies to a large extent is having a negative impact by producing negative effects, both in learning, food and in terms of physical socialization of these students.
