Abstract

Penggunaan media sosial seperti Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, dan Youtube telah meningkat sejak ia diperkenalkan pada awal tahun 2000. Terdapat banyak kebaikan dan keburukan media sosial. Ia menjadikan kajian media sosial menarik. Banyak kajian telah dijalankan untuk mengukur kesan penggunaan media sosial dalam masyarakat. Salah satu kajian berkaitan penting ialah kesan media sosial terhadap pendidikan. Ia adalah kajian yang popular di kalangan penyelidik kerana kesan negatif yang disebabkan oleh media sosial. Kajian lepas melaporkan bahawa ramai pelajar terganggu dalam aktiviti pembelajaran kerana media sosial. Warga pendidik turut merungut ramai pelajar gagal menyiapkan tugasan kerana terlalu menggunakan media sosial. Bagi kajian awal, kajian telah menjalankan tinjauan dalam talian terhadap 100 responden untuk menentukan kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan instrumen sebelum pengumpulan data sebenar. Ujian kebolehpercayaan menunjukkan bahawa nilai kebolehpercayaan bagi setiap konstruk adalah antara 0.7 hingga 0.86. Kajian ini juga menjalankan analisis awal untuk menentukan kemungkinan hasil pengumpulan data sebenar. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa semua hipotesis yang diuji disokong dengan kekuatan hubungan yang rendah. Justeru, bagi pengumpulan data sebenar, kajian menjangkakan hasil yang sama akan diperolehi seperti yang ditunjukkan semasa kajian awal dan seperti yang disarankan oleh para sarjana daripada literatur.

For the preliminary study, the study conducted an online survey of 100 respondents to determine the instrument's validity and reliability before the actual data collection. The reliability test indicated that the reliability value for each construct is between 0.7 to 0.86.
