Impact of Instagram on Students Learning<\/p>\n
Authors-Sadgun Chintare, Shriraj Mahajan & Harsh Shinde<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/p>\n
In the digital age, social media platforms like Instagram have become an integral part of students’ lives. Initially designed for social networking and entertainment, Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for education and learning. With features like educational reels, informative posts, live sessions, and study groups, students can access knowledge in a visually engaging and interactive way. However, while Instagram offers opportunities for learning, it also poses challenges such as distractions, misinformation, and reduced attention spans. This topic explores both the positive and negative impacts of Instagram on students’ learning experiences, highlighting its role in modern education.<\/p>\n
Objective<\/p>\n
To analyse the impact of Instagram on Students learning<\/p>\n
Literature Review<\/p>\n
The Influence of Instagram-Assisted Project Based Learning Model on Critical Thinking Skills<\/p>\n
Popy (2020) stated that In the 21st century, communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills are essential. This study examines the impact of an Instagram-Assisted Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students\u2019 critical thinking in sociology. Using a Quasi-Experimental design with a Nonrandomized Control Group Pretest\u2013Post-tests approach, data were collected through validated multiple-choice tests and analyzed with parametric statistical methods. Findings revealed that the Instagram-Assisted PjBL model significantly improved students\u2019 critical thinking, with the experimental group showing a greater increase than the control group. This suggests that Instagram-Assisted PjBL can enhance constructivist-oriented learning.<\/p>\n
The Impact of excessive Instagram use on students\u2019 academic study: a two-stage SEM and artificial neural network approach<\/p>\n
Masrom et al (2023) stated that students often use Instagram frequently. The present study is the first to explore the use of UGT and multiple gratifications (i.e. social gratification, content gratification, and entertainment), social presence, and escapism and their association with EIU, and the association of EIU with students\u2019 academic impairment. The results of the study provide insights into the negative consequences of excessive Instagram use. Providing a better understanding of the negative use of SNSs, and its effect on students\u2019 academic performance would help universities and academic institutions to face important challenges when dealing with the SNS generation in academic environments.<\/p>\n
Data Collection<\/p>\n
For the above problem we framed 5 questions on the Likert Scale and we approached 100 students of KBS with google form. With the answers strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree. They were coded as 5,4,3,2 and 1. So that hypothesised mean is 3. Also, for each question mean, standard deviation, standard error and z \u2013 scores were calculated. The questions were as follows:<\/p>\n
1. Instagram negatively impacts my mental health.<\/p>\n
2. I feel addicted to using Instagram.<\/p>\n
3. I check Instagram instead of completing assignments.<\/p>\n
4. Limiting Instagram use improves my focus.<\/p>\n
5. Instagram helps me stay socially connected.<\/p>\n

Conclusion-<\/p>\n
1. Instagram negatively impacts my mental health \u2013 Students find Instagram harmful for their mental well-being.<\/p>\n
2. I feel addicted to using Instagram \u2013Students experience compulsive Instagram use.<\/p>\n
3. I check Instagram instead of completing assignments \u2013 Instagram to some extent distracts students from completing tasks through engaging content<\/p>\n
4. Limiting Instagram use improves my focus \u2013 Students state that reducing Instagram usage enhances their concentration.<\/p>\n
5. Instagram helps me stay socially connected \u2013 Students find Instagram supportive for increasing their social interactions.<\/p>\n
