Using social media (SM) for educational purposes might improve academic performance.
This paper aims to describe health science students' use of SM for educational purposes and its association with their academic performance.
Two hundred ninety-seven undergraduate health science students completed a self-administered questionnaire comprising 4 sections related to social media.
Almost all students (99.7%) reported using SM for learning, most (90.9%) of them daily. The most preferred type of SM learning was Facebook. Most students thought that using SM for learning is convenient and useful. They suggested there should be 1 Facebook account for each subject, that every classmate could access to obtain knowledge from lecturers and to interact between students and lecturers. The logistic regression model showed that the more time students practiced following the advice on posted information, the more likely they were to achieve a GPA at distinction level or above (OR = 4.2; OR = 5.4, and OR = 9.4, respectively with times of practicing). Conversely, the students who used SM for learning less than once a month were less likely to obtain a GPA at distinction level (OR = 0.5).
Almost all health science students used SM to support learning and use of SM for learning was associated with higher academic performance.
将社交媒体用于教育目的可能会提高学业成绩。
本文旨在描述健康科学专业学生将社交媒体用于教育目的的情况及其与学业成绩的关联。
297名健康科学专业本科学生完成了一份包含4个与社交媒体相关部分的自填式问卷。
几乎所有学生（99.7%）报告使用社交媒体进行学习，其中大多数（90.9%）每天都使用。最受欢迎的社交媒体学习类型是脸书。大多数学生认为使用社交媒体学习方便且有用。他们建议每个学科应有一个脸书账号，以便每个同学都能获取讲师的知识并促进学生与讲师之间的互动。逻辑回归模型显示，学生按照发布信息中的建议进行实践的时间越多，他们获得优等及以上平均绩点的可能性就越大（实践次数分别对应的比值比为4.2、5.4和9.4）。相反，每月使用社交媒体学习少于一次的学生获得优等平均绩点的可能性较小（比值比为0.5）。
几乎所有健康科学专业学生都使用社交媒体来支持学习，且使用社交媒体学习与更高的学业成绩相关。
