PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the views of university students on social networking sites (SNSs) adoption for educational purposes and investigate the factors that motivate students to use SNSs for academic purposes.Design/methodology/approachA survey method of research was adopted and questionnaires were administered to the respondent group. A total of 522 valid responses from the University of Ghana Business School Students were used in the empirical analysis. Regression analysis was used to examine the relationship among the key constructs of the study.FindingsThe results of this study suggest that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, the existence of facilitating conditions and the purposes of SNSs are the key factors that motivate students to adopt SNSs for academic purposes. However, the influence of other people in society and the desire to be identified with social groups were found not to be important predictors of SNSs use by students for educational purposes.Research limitations/implicationsThe data examined in this study are based on sample responses from only one university, which may limit the extent of generalization of the findings.Originality/valueThis paper provides some useful insights into the key predictors of SNSs adoption for educational use by university students from the perspective of a developing country.

Este artículo explora cómo internet y las redes sociales pueden convertirse en el origen de conflictos en la esfera familiar. Se analiza la influencia de Internet en la convivencia familiar, examinando las preocupaciones y necesidades para educar en el ámbito digital. Se ha desarrollado un estudio cuantitativo no experimental empleando el método de encuesta. Participaron 1144 estudiantes de educación secundaria de la ciudad de A Coruña, todos ellos usuarios de internet y redes sociales. Un 76% de los encuestados manifiesta que sus padres no les prohíben nada cuando navegan por la red. Entre las principales acciones que los progenitores impiden realizar a sus hijos e hijas, se encuentran: realizar compras en línea, dar información personal y enviar correos a personas desconocidas. También se ha podido identificar que un 49% de los menores discute con sus padres por el uso de internet. Asimismo, se constata que las mujeres, frente a los hombres, son las que afirman que su familia se preocupa en mayor medida por el tipo de contenidos a los que acceden, así como por los contactos incluidos en sus redes sociales. Resulta necesario que padres y madres tomen conciencia de la importancia que supone educar a sus hijos/as en un uso responsable de la tecnología. En este sentido, adquirir una adecuada educación digital en el seno familiar resulta clave para minimizar conflictos, así como prevenir y tomar conciencia de los riesgos derivados de un uso inadecuado de internet y de las redes sociales. This article explores how the Internet and social networks can become the source of conflicts in the family sphere. The influence of the Internet on family life is analyzed, examining the concerns and needs when it comes to education in the digital world. A non-experimental quantitative study was carried out using the survey method. 1144 high school students from the city of A Coruña participated, all of them Internet and social media users. 76% of those surveyed state that their parents do not forbid them anything when they surf on the Net. The main actions that parents prevent their sons and daughters from doing include making online purchases, giving personal information and sending emails to strangers. It was also identified that 49% of minors argue with their parents about using the Internet. Likewise, it was found that women, in contrast to men, affirm that their family cares more about the type of content they access, as well as the contacts included on their social networks. It is necessary for parents to become aware of the importance of educating their children in a responsible use of technology. In this sense, acquiring adequate digital education within the family is key to minimizing conflicts, as well as preventing and becoming aware of the risks derived from an inappropriate use of the Internet and social networks.

The differences also favoured male students when the variable was gender and 4th year students when the variable was the year of study. In addition, the study showed that the university played 15 important roles in developing political awareness as was unanimously agreed by the members of the sample. These roles were identified by using recurrences and percentages ranging between 50 and 90%, while those with percentages lower than 50% were not taken into account.   Received: 17 December 2020 / Accepted: 26 January 2021 / Published: 5 March 2021
