Abstract
This research paper focuses on measuring the impact of using social networks on the learning outcomes of students of the Department of Economics, Dong Thap University. The sampling method used in the study is a stratified random one according to the subject's criteria. Given such a sampling method, we directly surveyed 178 students of the Department of Economics from 2nd year to 4th year, in all three majors: Banking Finance, Accounting and Business Administration. Then, we used the methods of descriptive statistics, measuring and analyzing by EFA, and combined regression analysis to determine the influencing factors. Research results show that four groups of factors have a positive impact on students' learning outcomes of the Department of Economics, Dong Thap University, including Information, Entertainment, Trendy, and Tools for learning.
