Abstract
Our theme entitled "Impact of the Internet on the level of
academic achievement of students at the Lycée Massa Makan
Diabaté: the case of the students of the 12th Terminal Social Sciences"
is placed in a logic to guide the world of school to the judicious use of the
Internet in the face of the inadequacy of the bibliographic resources found in
Mali.
Consequently, the bibliographic resources constitute an
imperative with regard to the school success. As well in Mali it is given to
see that there is a poverty of the bibliographic resources or even the absence
of these .certain forms of use of the Internet by students would fill this
gap.
The objective of this work is to study the impact of the
Internet on the level of success in school. The problem is therefore the
following: what would be the impact of the use of the Internet by students on
the level of school success, including the school performance? In this context
we will treat the school success in relation to school performance.
The following assumptions have been made:
? The use of the Internet is a factor related to the
academic success of students at the Lycée Massa Makan
Diabaté.
? The inadequacy of the bibliographic resources is one of
the causes of the use of the Internet by the students.
? The bibliographic resources and possible interactions on
the Internet are categories of use which contribute to the school
success.
To respond to the problem, an experience including the
administration of a questionnaire to students users and non-users formulated
from assumptions of research, has been conduct. The respondents were
distributed in such a way as to reasoned choice in two groups (internet users
and non-users internet).From this classification, they proceeded to the
responses to a questionnaire of the same items. The replies thus collected show
that Internet users have obtained better marks at school in this case the
tables XII, XIII, XIV and XV. These results indicate that some
forms of use of the Internet primarily to purpose of documentation promote the
school success.
From these findings, the use of the Internet primarily in
harmony with the school work (documentation, interaction Expert/novice, sharing
of ideas) allow to succeed but it must also recognize that other forms of uses
of the Internet that have nothing to do with his

work (watching pornographic videos, surf on the malicious
sites, etc.) produce adverse effects. Further research should investigate the
possibility to use the Internet in class to improve the
teaching/learning.
