SOCIAL NETWORKS: INFLUENCE ON THE DEEP LEARNING OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Social networks represent a new lifestyle for young people. The aim of this study is to identify which factors, linked to the use of social networks and digital content consumed and produced secondary school students, intervene in the application of deep learning strategies. To identify them, a quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 197 students. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The results show a low use of deep learning strategies. The frequency of use of Instagram, Youtube and Twitter (X) influences the application of these strategies, but not TikTok Discord/WhatsApp. The types of content produced do not influence the implementation of these strategies, but the content consumed does. Avoiding interaction with the mobile phone during study time allows the application of strategies of self-regulation of learning, visual processing and summarising, and deep information processing. In conclusion, these findings make it possible to draw on evidence to be able to carry out educational and guidance work in the school environment adjusted to the reality of the students. well as offering guidelines to families to regulate students' academic work and supervise the digital content they consume home.
