The Effect of Social Media Use on Students' Scientific Writing Ability

: This article aims to analyze the effect of social media use on students' ability to write scientific papers in an educational environment, especially at the Ngawi Institute of Islamic Religion. Quantitative methods are used to obtain objective and numerically measurable results. By using the regression test and the coefficient of determination, the results show that the use of social media has a significant impact on the ability to write scientific papers of students, with a calculated t value of 6.128, which is greater than the t value of 1.195 with a significance of 0.00 <0.05. from this value, social media has a positive and significant influence on student's ability to write scientific papers and an R-value of 0.150. From this output, the coefficient of determination (R Square) is 0.053. The coefficient of determination means that the effect of the independent variable (social media) on the dependent variable (ability to write scientific papers) is 5.3%. This research article is expected to provide insights for educational institutions in designing policies and strategies that support student learning in the digital era and provide practical guidance for students in managing time and using social media wisely.


Introduction
The use of social media has become an integral part of everyday life, especially among university students.On a point scale of 1 to 4, the main reasons for accessing the internet were identified, with social media ranking first at 3.33 points.This data indicates that the social media phenomenon has become very significant in everyone's daily lives, and students are no exception.Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and others have spread to various aspects of student life, proving that engagement in social media is one of the main aspects of internet usage in Indonesia in 2023.(APJII 2023 Survey).This phenomenon significantly impacts various aspects of life, including the ability to write scientific papers.In higher education, a person tends to be distracted or interrupted when completing tasks that require a lot of concentration; based on this theory, the use of social media can interfere with student concentration and academic productivity.(Baron 1986).
The ability to write scientific papers is not only a skill needed to complete academic tasks, but also the main foundation for conveying thoughts, ideas, and research in a systematic and structured manner.By having good scientific writing skills, students can develop their analytical power, argumentation, and problemsolving more effectively.In addition, scientific writing skills also prepare students to contribute to the academic and professional world, where the ability to compose correct and clear scientific writing is indispensable.Therefore, the relationship between scientific writing skills and academic activities is very close and important for students' intellectual development and professionalism.(Muhammad Heriyudanta 2021).However, the effect of using social media on the ability to write scientific papers is still a major concern in education.In today's digital era, students are exposed to the use of social media in their daily activities.This raises the question of how the use of social media affects the ability to write scientific papers of students in higher education.This research article focuses on the influence of social media use on the quality of students at the Ngawi Islamic Institute.Quality scientific work is original work that significantly contributes to knowledge in a particular field, is supported by valid  : 19-12-2023 Accepted: 05-02-2024 Approved: 10-02-2024 Published: 30-03-2024 3 data and facts, and is structured using clear and accurate language.Quality scientific work reflects a deep understanding of the topics discussed and can present strong and supportive arguments.In addition, quality scientific work must also adhere to the ethics of scientific writing, including in terms of correct citation and reference writing.(Widodo et al. 2022).Distraction factors such as lack of effective time, concentration, and potential decrease in argumentation quality will be analyzed in depth.Ngawi Islamic Institute was chosen as the object because it is representative in describing the condition of students in the higher education environment in Indonesia, as well as providing relevant contributions to the educational institution.
Several previous articles are related to this research article used as a form of Gap Analysis and determining novelty to obtain comparison materials and avoid similarities with previous articles.Researcher Rafiq conducted the first research on social media titled "The Impact of Social Media on Social Change in a Society", showing that social media makes it easy to obtain and convey information efficiently and cheaply.Still, it can also give rise to social groups that deviate from norms.(Rafiq 2020).The second study by Suvia Nisa with the title "The Relationship between the Intensity of Social Media Use with the Tendency of Narcissism and Self-Actualization of Adolescents", shows that there is a positive correlation between the intensity of social media use with the tendency of narcissism and self-actualization (Nisa n.d.) insights on how to improve the quality of scientific papers produced by students in the digital era.This article uses quantitative methods to provide objective and numerically measurable results and a clear picture of how social media can affect students' scientific writing skills.The purpose of this article is to provide a broader understanding of the impact of social media use on students' scientific writing skills, as well as to provide relevant contributions for educational institutions in developing strategies to help students manage their use of social media wisely

Research Methods
This article uses a quantitative design with a survey approach.The data is generated as numbers, then processed and analyzed to obtain scientific information hidden behind the numbers.(Martono 2012) (Bugin 2013).The survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires to respondents randomly selected from the student population of Ngawi Islamic Institute.
The population that is the subject of this article is students of the Ngawi Institute of Islamic Religion who actively use social media.Population is a generalization area that includes objects or subjects with certain qualities and characteristics.(Sukmadinata 2020) (Sugiono 2017).The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique, with the criteria of students who actively use social media and are writing scientific papers.The minimum sample size is 15 times the number of variables to be studied, so in this study, the number of samples was determined to be more than the minimum limit, namely 15 times the number of variables to be studied.(Sukirman 2011).
The instrument used is a questionnaire.A questionnaire is a data collection tool with a series of questionnaires.The questions contained in the questionnaire must be detailed and complete (Sugiono 2017).This questionnaire consists of two parts.The first part contains questions about the use of social media, while the second part contains questions about the ability to write scientific papers interpreted on a Likert scale.A Likert scale is a measurement scale that refers to giving values or numbers to objects or phenomena according to certain rules.This concept involves three key aspects, namely numbers, assignments, and rules.Assigning or assigning value is defined as mapping.In this context, rules refer to instructions or guidelines for acting (Umar 2005).(Umar 2005).The validity and reliability of the instrument will be tested using the SPSS 26 application.There are nine questions as indicators of the ability to write scientific papers.The data obtained will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques.Descriptive analysis is used to describe the characteristics of respondents and research variables.Inferential analysis is used to test the research hypothesis and determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.A hypothesis is a conjecture that may be true and may also be false, it will be rejected if it is wrong and will be justified if the facts justify it.(Suharsimi 2010).
The validity and reliability of the research instrument will be tested using the SPSS 26 application.The validity test is carried out by comparing the total score correlation with the free correlation value (r).The validity test is an important step to evaluate the accuracy of a questionnaire.The success of a questionnaire is considered valid if it can adequately reflect the dimensions to be measured.(Ghozali 2016)The reliability test is carried out by calculating the reliability coefficient using Cronbach's alpha.A reliability test is an index that shows the extent to which a measuring device can be trusted or relied upon.The measured reliability coefficient is then seen for its value.Variables with a reliability coefficient that is negative or smaller than the table value need to be revised again because they have a low level of reliability.Reliability is how much a measuring device can provide consistent and reliable results (Noor Wahyuni, 2014).(Noor Wahyuni 2014).
The benchmark of success is the achievement of research objectives and whether or not the proposed hypothesis is proven.The success of the research can also be seen from the contribution to the development of literature and academic understanding in social media and education, as well as providing valuable insights on how to improve the quality of scientific papers produced by students in the digital era.
