Social Media-Based Collaborative Learning Effects on Student Performance/Learner Performance With Moderating Role of Academic Self-Efficacy

Abstract

Social media has always been described as the channel through which knowledge is transmitted between communities, students, and learners. This social media has been utilized by university students in a way to encourage collaborative learning and social interaction. This study explores the use of social media in the process of collaborative learning among university students in China using a survey method, a total of 583 students from different universities were surveyed in this study. Through this investigation, different factors enhancing collaborative learning among university students in the context of using social media are going to be examined. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and hierarchical regression were used to analyze the suggested hypothesis. Results show that perceived benefit, active learning, and interaction with students are significantly related to social media collaboration. However, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have an insignificant effect on social media collaborative learning. Additionally, students’ academic self-efficacy significantly moderates the relationship between social media collaboration and learning performance. The implication and limitations of the study are also discussed in the last section.

Integrating social media-based community of inquiry with theory of planned behavior to promote equitable educational intentions among pre-service teachers in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan

“…For example, a previous study indicated that social media has a significant association with customer attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control ( Ringim and Reni, 2019 ). Another research showed the influence of social media-based learning and collaboration on pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy to enhance their academic performance ( Liu et al, 2022 ). In our study, we established the association between the social media-based community of inquiry and the perceived behavioral control of the pre-service teachers for their intentions to implement equitable education.…”

In their study, Liu et al (2022) concluded that social media played an essential role in increasing the perceived behavioral control (PBC) of its users concerning certain behaviors.…”

The impact of working memory capacity on collaborative learning in elementary school students

“…Moreover, Qureshi et al (2021) suggested that engagement is critical for deep learning. Active engagement is a positive force for collaborative learning (Liu et al, 2022). Low-capacity members are prone to rely on high-capacity members to provide explanations; however, listening to these explanations involves only a low level of engagement.…”

“…There have been few studies and viewpoints that have recognized four key benefits of using social media in higher education. These include strengthening connections, boosting the desire for learning, providing tailored course content, and nurturing teamwork 3 .
