本文以社会整合理论为基础，构建了一个概念模型来解释大学生在线社交网络(即使用Facebook)对他们的社会和学业社会融合以及学习结果的影响。多轮焦点小组讨论旨在探讨大学生目前的在线社交网络体验以及他们对使用Facebook进行教育的态度。研究结果表明，学生的在线社交网络对其社交学习的影响是直接的，而对学业学习的影响可能是通过一个渐进的、纵向的过程实现的。
Relying on social integration theory, this paper develops a conceptual model to explain how college students' online social networking (i.e., using Facebook) influences their social and academic social integration, and learning outcomes. Several rounds of focus group discussions were conducted to explore college students' current online social networking experience and their attitude toward using Facebook for education. Our findings indicate that students' online social networking is straightforwardly influential to their social learning, while its influence on the academic learning might be realised through a gradual and longitudinal process.
