Influence of Social Media on Classroom Discipline

This study explores how social media influences the classroom discipline of middle school students. Using a mixed-methods approach, it analyzes student behavior patterns, attention spans, and teacher observations to evaluate the extent of digital distraction. Results reveal a significant correlation between excessive social media use and reduced academic focus, peer conflicts, and behavioral issues. The findings underscore the importance of digital awareness, structured media use policies, and teacher-parent collaboration in maintaining classroom discipline.
