Examining the Influence of Social Media on Educational Achievement among Students with Hearing Impairments

The study sought to investigate the influence of social media on academic achievement among students with hearing impairments. A quantitative and descriptive technique was used to collect data from 55 deaf or hard-of-hearing undergraduate students at the University of Management and Technology. The research used a realistic sample strategy and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire with 20 items that were validated by experts. Cronbach's alpha was 0.89, which validated the dependability. SPSS 22 was used to conduct data analysis, which included descriptive and inferential statistics. The data suggested that social media had a considerable impact on pupils' academic achievement. According to the report, administrators, teachers, and parents should monitor social media usage and encourage its use for educational purposes. Social media may be used to promote educational goals, develop platforms, and build new sites to prevent academic failure in children.
