Utilization of social media to Enhance Learnability among Secondary School Students (CBSE AND ICSE)

Abstract

We are currently in a technological era where inventions and discoveries are prevalent due to the latest technological advancements worldwide. One of the most significant technological developments is social media, which greatly impacts youth, especially teenagers. We can observe that the youth are increasingly connected to social media, particularly through online platforms that have emerged and are still emerging. These platforms allow the youth to connect with a world of ideas, thoughts, facts, and possibilities. The concept of learnability involves the desire and the ability to develop and adapt one’s skills to remain mainstream. It is a multifaceted process that requires a shift from occasional learning to a lifestyle of continuous learning. This involves actively seeking out new skills to acquire and accumulate over time, which can enhance creativity and build upon existing knowledge. Social media is a term used to describe the various virtual platforms and networks where students can interact, share, and exchange information and ideas. In this particular study, social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp are included in the definition of social media.
