Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of social media usage on the concentration levels of high school students by utilizing the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method as a decision-making tool. In this research, several important criteria are considered, including the duration of social media use, the frequency of accessing social media during study hours, the types of platforms most frequently used, and the academic performance of the students. These criteria are quantitatively measured and analyzed to assess how social media habits influence students’ ability to maintain focus while studying. The SAW method is applied to process and weigh each criterion, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the students’ concentration levels. The findings of this study reveal that higher intensity in social media usage is associated with a noticeable decrease in students’ concentration during learning activities. This suggests that excessive or poorly timed social media use may hinder academic focus and performance.By implementing the SAW method, this research provides an objective and data-driven basis for understanding the relationship between social media use and student concentration. The results can assist educators and policymakers in developing more effective teaching strategies and guidelines to help students manage their social media usage and improve their learning outcomes.
