“…Field studies especially prevail, with more than half of the papers located in that methodology. Amongst them stand out the works of Paul et al (2012) where a survey is administered to Business Administration students for the purpose of determining whether the time dedicated to social networks such as Facebook impacted negatively on their academic performance, or that of Junco (2012b), which focuses on the extent to which in-class multitasking can influence academic results -especially through the use of social networks. Both studies nicely illustrate a large volume of collected data (340 valid questionnaires in the first case, and 1,939 in the second one) that allow for the generalization of results.…”

The objective sought with the present paper consists in analyzing the literature about Facebook in order to know the conclusions of the different works with regard to its influence on those results. The examination of 37 papers devoted to this thematic area allows us to know which journals publish more about the impacts that Facebook has on academic performance, which data collection methods are more often used, which topics emerge in parallel to the use of Facebook in the academic context, and which countries are more prolific in this field. The conclusions suggest that, despite the divergence of results, the overall outcome is positive when it comes to the use of Facebook in academic environments.

“…En la Literatura se ha encontrado además, que la capacidad de atención de los estudiantes tiene significativamente impacto en sus calificaciones. Estando altamente influenciado el resultado por la percepción que éstos tengan a cerca de las redes sociales, lo que les gusta o les disgusta de ellas, así como la facilidad de su uso, Paul et al (2012). En este sentido, algunas investigaciones han revelado acerca de posibles efectos negativos del uso de Facebook en la educación.…”

“…Not only does this execute pressure on the student to finish his work in a shorter period of time, but it can be detrimental to his success. Web 2.0 applications are, therefore, dangerous for students because they are unfulfilling time-wasters that distract students from work or real social activities [16].…”

Abstract-The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the usefulness of Web 2.0 technologies in education. For this purpose, a survey was carried out to explore the students' perceptions towards using these tools for learning purposes. Results of the research study revealed that all the respondents are greatly immersed in these social platforms and use them for many reasons. However, it was found out that almost half of the surveyed students (i.e. 47%) devote more than 40% of the time they spend on Web 2.0 technologies to enhance their learning in different subjects. Taking these findings into consideration, we can stipulate that Web 2.0 applications present many educational advantages for students, hence, contribute in providing opportunities for further learning. Consequently, these online tools provide schools and universities with more opportunities to go beyond traditional delivery formats and develop learnercentered personalized learning environments.
