DO FACEBOOK USERS GET LOWER GRADES?

CONTOH AYAT SAMADA (PERSUADE, STATISTIC, INTERVIEW, PETIKAN ARTICLE….)

“I was in the library trying to write a 2000 word essay when I realized my facebook habit had got out of hand. I couldn’t resist going online. You do that, then someone’s photo catches your eyes. Before you know it, a couple you know it, a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a thing.”

INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH

These are the word of daisy jones, a 31 year old undergraduate from Loughborough University, UK. Daisy deactivated her facebook account when she became concerned about the impact her frequent visits to the social networking site was having on her studies (Leake & Warren, 2009). A 2009 study by Karpinki and Duberstein seems to confirm Daisy’s fears : according to the researchers, American college students who use the 750 million-member social network have significantly lower grade-point averages (GPAs) than those who do not (cited in Hamilton, 2009). After conducting a survey of 219 undergraduate and graduate students, the researchers found that the GPAs of facebook users typically ranged a full grade poin lower than those of non-users – 3.0 to 3.5 for users versus 3.5 to 4.0 for their non-networking peers (cited in Hamilton, 2009). Yet despite this evidence to suggest that facebook users are at risk of performing less well in their studies, there are those who dispute the conclusions drawn from these findings and argue that more research into all aspect of the social networking phenomenon are needed before such pronouncement can be made.

    Fleming provides example after example of how information provided by the user on MySpace and Facebook have ruined or altered people’s lives. Potential employers, law enforcement officials, colleges, universities, and others have used this information to help them with their decision-making regarding certain individuals. If the information available on site is not showing the individual in a positive light, the decisions made may be detrimental to the individual. She recognizes that colleges and universities across the nation offer practical tips for social media site users such as “Don’t post anything you wouldn’t be comfortable with your grandmother seeing.” (440) But she also understands that students are not following that advice. Fleming explains how difficult it is for colleges to keep an eye on their students’ online postings, and admits “there is no practical way for colleges to monitor the content of these sites, as students’ profiles and postings are changing constantly.” (440) Later in the article she justifies that reviewing a students’ profile page may be beneficial in providing clues to a person’s behavior. She concludes…

    Reynol Junco, an associate professor of education at Iowa State University, found that while freshman struggle to balance their use, social media is less of a problem for upper classmen. The difference relates to self-regulation. Junco surveyed more than 1,600 college students about their Facebook behavior, looking at time spent strictly using the social networking site and time spent on Facebook while multitasking. Freshmen averaged a total of two hours a day. Sophomores, juniors and seniors also reported using Facebook while studying, but how it affected their grade point average varied. For freshmen, all Facebook use had a negative impact on their grades. For sophomores and juniors using Facebook while doing schoolwork hurt their GPA. For seniors, there was no relationship between the two. So the question is, is Facebook the problem? The answer is no, Facebook actually has little to do with students GPA. Facebook use is no different than any other distraction for students. Students just have to self regulated their time. Junco stated that freshmen, “come to college and they don't know what to do, because they don't have a parent or teacher telling them when to study, what to eat or when to go to bed.” What this quote is saying that freshmen have not acquired the ability to self regulate.…

    Two important factors as to why the writers’ views differ so greatly are their background and the genre in which they are expressing their opinions. Mathias is a young woman who is about to graduate college, blogging about her experiences and opinions on Facebook as a student. Her blog comes across as a carefree commentary on one aspect of college life. At this stage in her life Mathias views “…Facebook as online community theater,” (438) an online site that gives young people the opportunity to masquerade and manipulate their profiles, allowing their Facebook friends to see as much or as little of their lives they choose. Fleming, on the other hand, is a well educated, practicing attorney, whose life and occupational experiences have, undoubtedly, compelled her write an article informing educators about the dark side of online social networking sites, such as Facebook. Her article comes across also as a commentary, but one with a serious undertone and message.…

    Social networking sites are a huge distraction among many teens and adults trying to focus on other things. It can be so addictive, some claim it is like a drug. Although some people may be able to limit the distraction, research has found that those who use these networks while studying scored 20% less than they would have if focused only on studying. I know first hand that this is true. I can't count how many times I have had to completely log out of Twitter and Facebook while studying because I couldn't stop checking to see what my friends were up to or to see the latest gossip. Social networks are extremely addicting because everybody wants to be in the "know." Nobody likes to feel left out, and if the information is accessible, many people figure that they should constantly utilize it.…
