Impacto de las redes sociales en el rendimiento academico periodo academico 2024-2025

Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of social media on the academic performance of adolescents attending the Julio María Matovelle Catechesis School. Using a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design, structured surveys were administered to gather information on the frequency, type, and purpose of digital platform use, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. The research evaluated how these variables affect concentration, time dedicated to studying, and the fulfillment of school responsibilities. The results indicate that excessive and unregulated use of social media can lead to significant distractions, negatively impacting academic performance. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of family and pastoral guidance in promoting a balanced and conscious use of these technological tools. The research underscores the need for comprehensive strategies that consider both the academic aspect and the spiritual and emotional development of young people. This work provides valuable information for educators, parents, and pastoral agents, facilitating decision-making aimed at improving the holistic education of adolescents in a context marked by the constant presence of social media.
