Research instruments used in this study were learning management plan through social networks, normal format learning management plan, measurement format of academic achievement, Statistics used in data analysis were performance value (E₁/E₂), Effectiveness Index (E.I.), averages, standard deviation (SD), t - test for independent samples, and t - test for dependent samples. Results; 1) For learning activities plan through social networks using field study techniques, performance value (E₁/E₂) and Effectiveness Index (E.I.) were 81.42/81.00 and 0.7648, respectively. 2) For students who study by organizing learning activities through social networks. Using field study techniques, the results show that academic accomplishment after class was significantly higher than that before class (p < 0.5). 3) Students who study by organizing learning activities through social networks had significantly higher achievement after study than those studying organizing normal learning activities (p < 0.5).
