Abstract
This research examines the effect of excessive usage of social networking sites on secondary school students’ learning habits. The study was conducted using a descriptive survey research method and with purposive sampling of 200 students. Data were collected by using a questionnaire titled “Student Social Network Use and Learning Habit Questionnaire (SSNU/LHQ)”. Data collected were analysed using descriptive data analysis presented by frequencies and percentages while inferential analysis was carried out using independent sample t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the high and low user of social networking sites as related to their learning habits. These results have some implication for secondary school students, educators, government policy makers and researchers.
