The study analyzed 130 articles on social media networks that were published by five major journals in the field of educational technology in the last decade. It summarizes demographic, methodological, and theoretical trends, including educational level, learning domain, country context, research methods, data collection tools, data analysis techniques, and research purpose, followed by a summary of the influence of social media networks on student learning performance and students’perceptions toward the use of social media networks in learning. The findings show that more than two thirds of the reviewed articles studies were conducted in higher education institutes, college students were the most common participants in these studies, and most of the learning performance focus articles reported a positive influence of social media networks on learning performance. Students recognize and value the learning benefits of social media networks on the majority of the reviewed articles. Patterns in these articles are discussed in order to better understand the research and identify gaps that need to be filled by future studies.\u003Cbr>Keywords: social media networks, learning performance, teaching/learning strategies, mobile learning, literature review |\n| --- | --- |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nWeb 1.0 refers to the first generation of worldwide web services, where users were passive and limited to only viewing the content of a website without any interaction. The second generation of worldwide web, web 2.0, centered on the idea that making these websites more dynamic enabled more users to interact (Ellison et al., 2007) . One of the Web 2.0 innovations was social media networks (hereinafter SMNs) . Ellison et al. (2007) defined social media networks as “web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semipublic profile within a bounded system; (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection; and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system”(p. 211) . Social media networks, social media applications, social media sites, social software, and social media are terms that were being used by many and reflect the same concept. These different names for the same concept are because there are different ways to access these online services. For example, if you are accessing Facebook through a laptop using a browser you might call it a social media site, but if you access it through a smartphone App you might call it a social media application.  \nEmerging technologies often play an important role in developing and supporting teaching and learning environments. As stated by Prensky (2005), the current generation of students, digital natives, learn in a unique way that is different from previous generations’ experience. Web pages are no longer the primary source of  \nlearning and information for students. Instead, they have s","cbCainuai658QFZ4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainuai658QFZ4","pdf",414489,"English","# Introduction\n## Web generations and social media networks\n## Pedagogical benefits and educational impact\n## Research trends and identified disadvantages","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary purpose of this literature review?\",\"answer\":\"To synthesize previous studies on social media networks and to elaborate on their influence on learning performance and students’ perceptions of their use in education.\"},{\"question\":\"How many articles were analyzed, and where were they published?\",\"answer\":\"The study analyzed 130 articles published by five major journals in educational technology over the last decade.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the reviewed studies generally conclude about learning performance?\",\"answer\":\"More than two thirds of the reviewed articles report a positive influence of social media networks on learning performance, and students recognize learning benefits in most studies.\"}]","The Influence of Social Media Networks on Learning Performance and Students’ Perceptions of Their Use in Education - A Literature Review | PDF",1792090191]
