  Do studies show that physical and online students' social networks support
education? Analyzing interactions between students in schools and universities
can provide a wealth of information. Studies on students' social networks can
help us understand their behavioral dynamics, the correlation between their
friendships and academic performance, community and group formation,
information diffusion, and so on. Educational goals and holistic development of
students with various academic abilities and backgrounds can be achieved by
incorporating the findings attained by the studies in terms of knowledge
propagation in classroom and spread of delinquent behaviors. Moreover, we use
Social Network Analysis (SNA) to identify isolated students, ascertain the
group study culture, analyze the spreading of various habits like smoking,
drinking, and so on. In this paper, we present a review of the research showing
how analysis of students' social networks can help us identify how improved
educational methods can be used to make learning more inclusive at both school
and university levels and achieve holistic development of students through
expansion of their social networks, as well as control the spread of delinquent
behaviors.
