العلاقة بين الإفراط في استخدام وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي ومستوى الدافعية للتعلم لدى طالبات الصف الثاني الثانوي بإدارة تعليم جازان

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between excessive use of social media and the level of learning motivation among second-year secondary school female students in the Jazan Education Administration. The study adopted the descriptive correlational approach and used a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument, which was administered to a sample of 83 female students. The findings showed that the level of social media use among the students was high, while the level of learning motivation was also high. The results also revealed a negative correlation between excessive use of social media and some aspects related to learning motivation, such as concentration and academic discipline, indicating that excessive use affects the effectiveness of motivation more than its presence. In light of these findings, the study recommended raising students’ awareness of the importance of regulating their use of social media, developing self-regulation skills, and enhancing the roles of schools and families in guiding the positive use of digital technologies.
