Abstract :
The influence of social networks, Facebook especially, and on student population are often subject to various investigations. The analysis of the interdependence between the values that determine trends in the use of social networks in the student population is possible to determine the impact of social networks on students´ evaluation and results. The starting assumption implies better performance of students who use social networks for occasional contacts with other users in relation to the students who have active status on social networks. The research deals with the validation and analysis of the interdependence of the assumptions set of relevant values. It is expected that the interdependence of time spent on the social network to publish the current status and results achieved (success) exams had a negative correlation coefficient. The results of the research will focus future research on the impact of social student population based on the calculation and analysis of the interdependence of the relevant parameters using social networks.
