 CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction

As of the modern day, a large proportion of the population is using the new technology

like computer, cellphones and internet. As the time pass by, social networking sites or social

media have become patronized by almost everyone especially the millennial. The millennial

have become so fascinated with the use of technology and social media that students became

dependent and addicted to it. Social Media made a massive impact to society especially amongst

the teachers and the students. The students spend their time at home using cellphone without any

knowledge that it has already taken a great impact in life. Social Media can be used in many

different things such as to stay in touch with acquaintances and in other activity, to stay-up-to-

date with news and current events local and international, to entertain, and many things. The

problem in social media is that students spend too much time using it which can lead to social

media addiction and due to this; students’ sleep and school works are usually sacrificed.

There is a widespread belief among teachers that students’ constant use of digital

technology is hampering the attention spans and ability of students to persevere in the face of

challenging tasks, according to two surveys of teachers being released on Thursday. The

researchers note that their findings represent the subjective views of teachers and should not be

seen as definitive proof that widespread use of computers, phones and video games affects

students’ capability to focus. Even so, the researchers who performed the studies, as well as

scholars who study technology’s impact on behavior and the brain, say the studies are significant

because of the vantage points of teachers, who spend hours a day observing students. (Matt

Richtel, 2012)
 According to the research of Danah M. Boyd of School of Information, University of

California-Berkeley, entitled Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship, most

sites support the maintenance of pre-existing social networks, but others help strangers connect

based on shared interests, political views, or activities. Some sites cater to diverse audiences,

while others attract people based on common language or shared racial, sexual, religious, or

nationality-based identities. Sites also vary in the extent to which they incorporate new

information and communication tools, such as mobile connectivity, blogging, and photo/video-

sharing. (Danah Boyd, 2014)

According to Hay, the more time spent on social networking sites, the less it may be good

for students’ social lives, in the way that it may cause the students to be more illiterate; short

forms, and even the limited amount of characters one is allowed to type on certain statuses, don’t

help expand the writing portion of a student’s mind resulting in lower grade averages and less

time spent on studies. However, the positive is also that an‚ interactive world‛ full of ideas and

insight and opinions can act as an aid for school work in the sense that students have a wide

range of people’s information, knowledge, and experience to learn from and to report on. In this

study, study habits is one of the variables upon which the researchers believed may have been

affected by social networking, either good or bad. (Hay, 2016)

According to Vaughn, student users are affected by the internet and this impact is

determined by the type of internet usage. The students are positively or negatively affected by

the informative use of internet while having drastic impact of recreational use of internet on

them. (Vaughn, 2016)

 Therefore, this study claims on how much social media influence the minds of Senior

High students of St. Joseph College Olongapo especially on their school performance, and how

much time they spend their quality time with friends and family.

Statement of the Problem

Generally the aim of this study is to assess the effects of social media to the students in St.

Joseph College – Olongapo Inc. Senior High School Department School Year 2017-2018 as

perceived by Senior High Students respondents.

Specifically, this sought answers to the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1.Age;
1.2.Sex;
1.3.Strand;
1.4.Accessibility to internet and
1.5.Estimated time of sleeping?

2. What are the effects of social media to the student-respondents in terms of:

2.1.Academic performance;
2.2.Health;
2.3.Social Life and;
2.4.Family?

3. Is there significant difference on the respondent when grouped according to age, sex,
strand, accessibility to internet, and estimated time of sleeping?

4. What is the implication of the findings to the Senior High School Students?
Conceptual Framework

In this study, the relationship of Social Media with the students’ academic performance,

health, social life, and family conceived the conceptual framework based on Independent and

Dependent Variables. This approach is composed of interrelated elements that served as guide

by the researchers in solving the problem under investigation.

In this study, the independent variable is the effects of social media. Independent variable

is that who influence the dependent variable. Then the dependent variable is the Grade 12

students of St. Joseph College – Olongapo Inc. enrolled during the school year 2017-2018.

Independent variable is the researchers’ aim to understand and describe the dependent variable.

Hypotheses

Ho: There is no significant relationship between hours of social media usage and the

hours of sleep of Grade 12 students of St. Joseph College School.

Significance of the Study

Social media has become a big part of our life; it made changes in our way of living.

Almost everyone knows something about it and uses it, especially the millenials who are known

to be the best in discovering and using the technology. Social media have made great effects on

students nowadays. There may be positive or negative effects depending on the person using it.

This study sheds light on the positive and negative effect of social media to the millenials. To

show how it affects the academic performance of the students. The people who will benefit from

this study are the following:

School Administration. The results of this study will help the school administration in

implementing programs, projects, activities and variety of steps to help improve the student’s

perception on social media and how social media affects the school administration and to the

students.

Teachers. The use of internet or rather known as the social media was timely and

significant for all the people around the world especially in profession in teaching. Social

networking is important for teachers as it is for others while because it serve as the handy tool for

their teaching purposes. Social networking allows the teachers to share ideas to the students and

provide visual aids so that it will enhance the teaching techniques and learning styles of the

teachers. Teachers will also be aware in the current issues happenings in the society and at the

same time it will also help them become updated on information’s around the world.

Parents. Social media is broadly viewed as a source of useful information and as one

parenting tool to watch and contact the children. Parents will gain more knowledge about the

effects of social media to the child. Parents can be updated with what's happening within the
society like news about young people who have been raped and robbed because of going home

late, to apprehend and alert the children of the current issues. Parents will be able to control and

limit the children in using social media.

Students. The most affected and will benefit the most in this study are the students. It

will helps the learners to know and understand the possible effects of using social media such as

Facebook, Instagram, twitter, tumblr, etc. to the academic performance, health, social life and

family relationship. In this research it may give the students some pre-cautions and will be

helpful to know the proper use of social media.

Other Researchers. This study will help the future researchers to add information to the

field of educational research. The result of the research will serve as a guide of the future

researchers who would like to conduct a similar research.

Scope and Delimitations

Social media has become a big part in life to the point that the respondents become

dependent on it. The main scope in this study is the effects of social media or the internet to the

students such as academic performance, health, social life and family relationship. The

researchers’ aim is to know the major effects of social media to the students’ life. Also, the

researchers want to provide possible solutions to any negative effects that may be discovered.

The focus is to create knowledge and awareness among the millennial, and to be beneficial to

other people who are linked to the researcher’s targets in this study.
 The researchers limited the study to 108 males and 108 females a total of 216 Grade 12

students enrolled in the second semester of school year 2017-2018 of St. Joseph College –

Olongapo Inc. The researchers randomly selected 9 boys and 9 girls in every section (12

sections) to prevent bias and get objective perceptions.

Definition of terms

There are different terms used that are necessary and suitable in this study. To help the

reader have a much clear and deeper understanding, we deemed it necessary to give definitions

to the following terms:

Academic Performance. The extent to which a student, teacher, or institution has

achieved their educational goals.

Internet. A worldwide system of computer networks – a network of networks in which

users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other

Millennial. A person reaching young adulthood in the early 21st century. Millennial grew

up in an electronic-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world.

Modernization. The transformation from a traditional, rural, agrarian society to a

secular, urban, industrial society. It is a continuous and open-ended process.

Social Media. Websites and other online means of communication that are used by large

groups of people to share information and to develop social and professional contacts.
 Social Networking Sites. An online platform that allow users to create a public profile

and interact with other users on the website.

REVIEW OF THEORIES RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY

This study includes a summary of related theories, literature and studies of foreign and

local authors considered relevant to this study. The researcher believes that the ideas conveyed

by the authors support the findings in this particular study.

Theories

Social Information Processing Theory

In a research conducted, it is defined that Social information processing theory explains

how individuals use computer-mediated communication to develop interpersonal impressions

and to advance relational communication over time online. The theory focuses on how

communicators adapt to the absence of nonverbal cues when using a medium that is generally

restricted to textual symbols. The theory stipulates that the information processing of such code

systems requires more time than face-to-face communication in order to achieve similar levels of

interpersonal development. This entry reviews its basic tenets, empirical support, theoretical

revisions, challenges from alternative theoretical perspectives, and implications of newer forms

of computer-mediated communication for the theory's status. (Walther, J., 2015)

According to this theory Social Information Processing Theory also known as SIP,

explains online interpersonal communication without nonverbal cues and develop and manage

relationships in a computer-mediated environment. While the term has traditionally referred to

those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats (instant messages, e-mails, chat

rooms), it has also been applied to other forms of text-based interaction such as text messaging.

Text-based messages deprive CMC users of the sense other warm bodies are involved in the
interaction for the Communication becomes more impersonal and task oriented. The theory

focuses on how communicators adapt to the absence of nonverbal cues when face-to-face,

participants tended to express warmth (friendliness) nonverbally facial expression, eye contact,

tone of voice, body position, and other nonverbal cues to show how they felt about it.

Connectivism: A learning theory for the digital age

Connectivism is a learning theory that explains how Internet technologies have created

new opportunities for people to learn and share information across the World Wide Web and

among themselves. These technologies include Web browsers, email, wikis, online discussion

forums, social networks, YouTube, and any other tool which enables the users to learn and share

information with other people. A key feature of connectivism is that much learning can happen

across peer networks that take place online. In connectivist learning, a teacher will guide students

to information and answer key questions as needed, in order to support students learning and

sharing on their own. Students are also encouraged to seek out information on their own online

and express what they find. A connected community around this shared information often

results. The massive open online course (MOOC) phenomenon comes from connectivist theory.

In a connectivist MOOC (cMOOC), it is open to anyone who wants to enroll, it uses open

software and systems across the Web to facilitate learning and sharing, it takes place primarily

online, and it happens according to a specified curriculum for a designated period of time. While

facilitators guide the cMOOC, its participants are largely responsible for what they learn and

what and how they share it; this connected behavior largely helps create the course content.

(Siemens, 2005 & Downes, 2010)

 In this theory, is a learning process of connecting specialized nodes or information

sources you should have connectivity to the person whom you interact with. Connectivism is

capacities to know more is more critical than what is currently know. Nurturing and maintaining

connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. And it is the ability to see connections

between fields, ideas, and concepts in a core skill. By this theory, learners can have much

knowledge about the social media fields which help the learners to seek information around the

world or to share in the easiest way using the internet. Internet technologies provide the need of

every learner and other people to know the current issues or happenings in the world by the help

of the social media. Connectivism is a learning theory that involves the digital age hence learning

has changed over the last several decades. The theories of behaviorism, cognitivism, and

constructivism provide an effect view of learning in many environments. They fall short however

when learning movies into informal, networked technology- enabled area. Connectivism is a

very important theory because it shows how digital age changed the way we manipulate

technology in our daily life.

Social Cognitive Theory of Mass Communication

Social cognitive theory provides an agentic conceptual framework within which to

analyze the determinants and psychosocial mechanisms through which symbolic communication

influences human thought, affect and action. Communications systems operate through two

pathways. In the direct pathway, they promote changes by informing, enabling, motivating, and

guiding participants. In the socially mediated pathway, media influences link participants to

social networks and community settings that provide natural incentives and continued

personalized guidance, for desired change. Social cognitive theory analyzes social diffusion of

new styles of behavior in terms of the psychosocial factors governing their acquisition and
adoption and the social networks through which they spread and are supported. Structural

interconnectedness provides potential diffusion paths; sociocognitive factors largely determine

what diffuses through those paths. (Bandura, A., 2009)

In this theory, shows the two pathways, first the direct pathways which may be

considered as direct talking to the audience to show your presence to motivate and engage with

them. Second is the socially mediated pathway which uses social media to interact and the

community to comprehend personalized guidance and desired for change. This theory transmits

new behavior which can be adopted through social networks and spread the same way. Having

involved in the social mediums provides different paths which sociocognitive would determine

the pathway.

Foreign Literature

According to this acquired knowledge named “Impact of Social Media of Student’s

Academic Performance”, In recent years, use of social media has become very popular all around

the world due to a great development of technology. Not only celebrities but general public has

also turned out to be a huge user of these social media sites. The basic purpose behind

conducting this study was to see the academic outcome of student who spend most of the on such

interacting sites. The findings from conducted studies has find out to be mostly positive because

students spend time of their day activities on these social media sites have able to share and

generate new ideas and concepts related to their studies they also use these sites for having fun as

these social websites are helpful in academic work. Use of these interacting social media has

become the routine habit of student they spend the major part of their time on these sites for
entertainment and also concentrate on their studies. Students are a precious asset of any country.

Through these social websites they do their academic work with enjoyment. (Amin, Z., Mansoor,

A., et. al., 2016)

Social media helps the students in academic works. It will be very beneficial in sharing

and generating ideas which may help improve the student’s academic performance. As it is

helpful for the academic performance, it is also helpful for entertainment and socialization.

Millenials have high expectations about user interfaces and are confident in their skills, but

they’re error prone and their tendency to multitask reduces their task efficiency. As much as

Social media is beneficial, too much use of it can be distracting.

Cain and Chretien (2013) stated in the study entitled “Exploring Social Media’s Potential

in Interprofessional Education. Journal of Research in Interprofessional Practice and Education”.

A new term regarding education has been introduced by Jeff Cain and Katherine Chretien and

this term is known as interprofessional education’. It means that, instead of each individual

learning on his/her own, different individuals come together to share the piece of knowledge they

have with others. This leads to improved outcomes as they learn from each other’s experiences.

This was first introduced amongst the health departments. Therefore, there is an opportunity to

make use of it within the students. This can be achieved by utilizing social media to create study

groups on Facebook, Skype, Blogs or any medium that allows multi contact conversations and

allowing them to share their assignments, asking their peers questions they don’t understand.

(Cain and Chretien, 2013)

It is effective to use the social media to create group chats so that students can interact

with each other and talk about needed school works especially, since if not all, most of them
have a social media account. Although the students must learn to have self-control and use

internet only for academic purposes first.

According to Pardo (2013) in the study named “Social learning graphs: combining social

network graphs and analytics to represent learning experiences” believes that technology offers a

platform for innovation and allows its users to express their opinions about how they feel

towards the information being published. He adds that, social media is also a platform that

allows students to interact with one another, with their teachers and communities that share their

same education. Pardo also states that these types of interaction are “an essential part of how

humans learn.” (Pardo, 2013)

Social media helped freedom of expression be more possible and attainable. It became a

platform to help individuals or students to interact with others and be more sociable or relatable

which is a necessity in human life. Humans learn through interaction, when people socialize or

find a sense of connection to others, it harnesses a sense of self-identity and it nurtures growth

and learning.

Local Literature

According to Torrevilllas (2017) in the study entitled “social media constructs, district”

social networks have removed all the communication and interaction barriers, and now one can

communicate his/her perception and thoughts over a variety of topics. Students and experts are

able to share and communicate with like-minded people and can ask for the input and opinion on

a particular topic. Another positive impact of social networking sites is to unite people on a huge

platform for the achievement of some specific objective. This is very important to bring the

positive change in society. On the other hand, one of the negative effects of social media or
networks is it leads to addiction. Spending countless hours on the social sites can divert the focus

and attention from a particular task. It lowers the motivational level of the people, especially of

the teenagers and students. They mainly rely on technology and the internet instead of learning

the practical knowledge and expertise of everyday life. (Torrevillas, 2017)

Social Networking sites made a positive impact in our society. It removed interaction

barriers and helped the users to find people with the same interest. With this the users’

confidence and sense of purpose improved but it can be quite addicting. The user become

dependent on the social networks that the real life might lose its value, it will be like

experiencing the world through a screen.

Astodello (2016) stated in a study entitled “Impact of social media to student’s lives,

academic performance”, Since students are highly motivated to using social media sites the

majority of them use these to satisfy their social needs more than their academic needs. They

have the freedom to do whatever they want – they can upload or download data, they can make

new friends and comment on other people’s lives, and they can even create other online identities

the real world does not allow. It has been observed too that the majority of the students

nowadays, particularly those in the secondary level, spend most of their time chatting with their

acquaintances, playing online games, and watching videos instead of reading their lessons,

making their assignments, and other academic requirements. The main reason is when they work

or search their materials online they get attracted to social networking sites to kill boredom

during study time, diverting their attention from their work. The darker side of this that has

gained the attention of many parents is that some students are getting lazier and are no longer

interested in going to school. This is probably due to being extensively indulged to get global

access and therefore leading them to perform less academically. We always want to belong in a
group where we also prefer what the group does. Students prefer social media sites as reliable

sources of information because everything is a package. A research conducted by Gagne

sometime in 2003 defined media in general as some kind of components in a students’

environment that can stimulate them to study better. Researchers also found that the use of some

types of social media has beneficial effects to students, not only on their academic needs but also

to help them establish a sense of identity and build and enhance networking skills. (Astodello,

2016)

Social media helps the students satisfy their social needs rather than their academic

needs. Although social media can be great help in academics, the students sometimes become

tempted to visit social networking sites to kill boredom but it will divert their attention and lose

their focus and interest at the task at hand. Students search for information on the internet

because its accessible and easy but there is no guarantee that all information found online is

correct.

According to this study entitled “A Digital Lifestyle Capital in the Making” Asia Digital

Marketing Association (ADMA) and the Internet World statistics, there are over a billion

Internet users in the Asia Pacific region, which amounts to over 46% of the total Internet users in

the world. The Philippines, specifically has over 44.2 million users, the second highest ranking in

Southeast Asia and the 6th in the whole of Asia. The population is forecasted to double by 2016,

according to Julian Persaud, former Google Managing Director in Southeast Asia. While the

majority of the Philippine population online is yet to be seen, enough data supports how addicted

the Philippines is to the digital life. According to We Are Social’s Digital Report as of January

2015, the Philippines leads in average “Time Spent on the Internet” through laptop and desktop,

and one of the highest via mobile worldwide. From a global average of 4.4 hours per day, the
Filipino spends an average of 6.3 hours/day online via laptop and 3.3 hours per day via mobile.

Over 40% of Filipinos own an active social media account, according to the same study. This is

larger than that of most technologically advanced countries like South Korea and Japan, whose

social media penetration amounts to 30% and 19% respectively. (Revesencio, 2015)

These statistics shows that a big proportion of the Filipino population has and uses social

media accounts. It is also forecasted that these numbers will grow or double over the next year.

Filipinos spend more than the global average hours per day on using their social media accounts.

This shows how addicted Filipinos are to the Social Networking Sites which can actually be seen

happening to millennials nowadays which are mostly students.

Foreign Studies

According to the study entitled, “The Effect of Social Networking on Students’

Academic Performance” The Perspective of Faculty Members of Periyar University, Salem,

“Most of the faculty members known that the students are engage in the use of SNSs for

socializing activities moderately than for academic purposes. However, most of the faculty

members felt that that SNSs have a negative impact on their academic performance compared

with positive impacts, due to lack of awareness among the students and faculty for appropriate

usage SNS topics of educational interest. In the meantime, the positive impacts of SNSs on their

academic performance are considerably low.” (Sudha & Kavitha, 2016)

According to this study the negative effects of social networking sites on their academic

performance are high and its positive effects are low. Faculty members felt like there are more

negative impacts on the student’s academic performance rather than positive. The reason for this
is the student’s lack of awareness on the appropriate usage of SNS. Therefore, proper use of

internet and discipline are needed to improve first for the use of Social media to have a positive

impact.

A study conducted by Mingle & Adams (2015) entitled Social Media Network

Participation and Academic Performance in Senior High Schools has revealed that despite the

benefits that come with the participation of students on social media networks, it could impact

negatively on their academic performance if not used properly. A lot of benefits abound in the

use of social media networks such as sharing information and ideas, improving reading skills etc.

Despite the benefits that comes with the participation of students on social media networks, its

misuse could affect the academic life of the student and thereby their performance. As stated by

Katz et al. (1974) in their gratification theory, that the media chosen by people would compete

with other sources of information. Therefore, social media networks compete with academic

work for students’ attention. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to make the right

decision in relation to the use of social media networks. Also, Bandura’s (1997) social learning

theory states that as the learning outcomes of students are influenced by the students decision on

his choice of situation (social 46 media networks and participation) and peers (friendship

networks) they could make the right decision in the usage of these media to bring about the

positive outcome (academic performance) that is desired. (Mingle & Adams, 2015)

According to this study, there are many benefits to the use of social media but without the

proper use of it, it could affect their academic life or their social life in the real world as well. It

is the responsibility of students to make the right decision when it comes to the use of social

media.
 According to the study by Johoora (2014) entitled “Effects of Social Network Sites

Usage on Student Engagement and Achievements” a study on students of Dhaka, “The students,

on a whole, gave a more scoring response to using online networks to write their class

assignments and inclusion of college related student focused groups and social networks. The

observations drawn from empirical data showed that students have started using social networks

for academic purposes. While some students perceived SNS as a distraction and were hesitant to

share their feelings, a high percentage of respondents found it an avenue to search for

information, Join educational networks and look for career opportunities. The use of SNS gave

them a sense of belonging to an academic community, as their online friends were mostly those

who they met in college. Two step flow interactions, student to student and teacher to student

favored academic learning through social networks. The use of these networks has to be

disciplined as it can lead to distraction from education. The research also concludes that a large

section of students capitalizes on the importance of human classroom face to face instruction, the

social networks used for educational / tutoring should be able to apply these principles in a

virtual classroom.” (Johoora, F., et. al., 2014)

According to this study, some students use social media for academic purposes and some

of them believe it can only cause distraction. A high percentage of respondents uses it to search

for information which is good and easy but there is many information from the internet that are

wrong. The use of SNS helped them have a sense of belonging. Social media is helpful but all

must remember to have discipline when it comes to the use of it because it can lead to distraction

from education.
 In a study by Naizabekov (2012) entitled “Negative Impact of Social Networking Sites

on Academic Performance of Students” concluded that social media causes procrastination as a

result of its distracting nature. It would take an individual who uses social media much more

time than it would take a focused individual to finish a task. Through procrastination emerges the

second negative impact, which is lack of motivation, because using social media with studying

develops negative attitude towards their individual work at school. (Naizabekov, 2012)

According to this study, social media can be very distracting and will therefore cause

procrastination which will lead to lack of motivation. Social media can entertain students to kill

boredom from school work but that will only make them develop a negative attitude towards the

school work. They lose interest or motivation to do school work because it does seem like Social

media surfing is much more interesting than a tedious school work.

Local Studies

In a study entitled “Effects of Social Networking Media to the Academic Performance of

the students” based on the perceived effects of social media network to the respondents, the data

disclosed the following (in rank order): (1) helps them to become updated on current issues and

events that can help on their studies; (2) helps them to improve their communication skills; (3)

helps them to share topics online; (4) gives them information related to their academic or future

career; (5) helps them to find answers for their school works; (6) helps them to become smart

because of the information they get from the sites; (7) gives them an excellent opportunity for

effective forums in class discussion; (8) helps them to earn better grades in school, (9) helps

them to improve their participation in school; and (10) highly motivates them to become

participative in the classroom with 56.04% of the IMEAS students. This output may imply that
the main purpose of the students in using internet is different from their actual activity whenever

they already accessed the sites. While their common main objective of accessing the networks

was for academic purposes (i.e., to communicate with people who are away from them) but in

practice they were using their internet time for social purposes (i.e., to like the post of their

friends, topics and etc.). (Kulidtod & Pasagui, 2017)

The study showed many benefits of social media to the students and they ranked it

according to the survey they conducted and ranked first is, it helps them to become updated on

current issues and events that can help on their studies, which can also be beneficial to the

students more on the socialization part rather than the academic. The study also showed that

even when the objective is for academic purposes, in practice it still becomes for social purposes.

It is said in the study of Judilla & Gemora (2015) entitled, “Influence of Social

Networking on the Study Habits and Performance of Students in a State University”, that the

extent of influence of social networking on students as an entire group and regardless of age, sex,

socio economic status, and educational attainment of their parents was high. It also proved that

the respondents’ study habits and academic performance were to a high extent influenced by

social networking. Most likely that this high influence may have been result of easy access to

and brought about by the accessibility of gadgets like cell phones with mobile data and Wi-Fi

connection. The affordability and availability of these gadgets in the market may have been

another reason. Likewise, this implies that students may have not realized that spending more

time in social networking could be a hindrance to a good academic performance. In fact they

have more important things to do like school works and studying their lessons. The findings

mean that being active in social networking could affect students socially, emotionally and

academically. This may mean that social networking could highly influence study habits and
academic performance of students negatively. Being involved in social networking can influence

the students not to give importance to their academic subjects. Students should utilize certain

time for researching or advance study aside from social networking. Students would have certain

restrictions on how will they use and view the pages of social networking sites. For example, if

they have spare time or they are on the time of net researching they could visit their educational

social networking sites. Students should evaluate themselves; assess their aspirations in looking

for friends. They should not always seek attention, instead try to confide themselves with those

people who appreciate them. (Judilla & Gemora, 2015)

According to the study, the use of Social Media can have a high influence on a student’s

study habits and academic performance. It seems that the availability and accessibility to gadgets

and internet is one of the reason of social media’s high influence to students. Social networking

can affect them socially, emotionally and academically.

The result of the study titled “The Effects of Social Networking Sites” on Students’

Academic Performance in Lyceum of the Philippines conducted by Isaac Morallo (2014) said, “It

is therefore imperative that the student use of SNSs is a way of life and serves as a powerful tool

for social interaction. Furthermore, the improvement in the student grade relies on all other

factors within the teaching learning process and could not be attributed to the use of SNS alone.

On the other hand, it is found out that the proper and reasonable use of SNSs could help the

students in one way or another in their assignments, class discussions and interactions with their

instructors. The established effects show that SNSs decrease students’ study time and increase

leisure time. They use SNSs mainly for non-academic purposes or entertainment activities and

for communicating with friends and classmates about school work and assignments. The

perceived effects of SNSs to the students’ academic performance show that SNSs contribute in
the attainment of higher grade by interacting online about school work. The results show that

there is no significant relationship between SNSs usage and student academic performance

because correlation coefficients show a negative relationship between SNSs use and academic

performance. The probability result has a very small average of correlation; thus the study found

a negligible relationship between SNSs and academic performance.” (Morallo, 2014)

According to this study, there is no significant relationship between Social networking

sites usage and student academic performance. It was said that there are many factors to

achieving a good academic performance and the researchers cannot blame solely the usage of

SNS because there can also be other factors affecting a student’s academic performance. Social

networking sites can also be beneficial for students to communicate to their classmates and talk

about assignments or other school activities. The use of social media can be very beneficial as

long as the students are taught proper use of it.

 CHAPTER III
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The researchers used descriptive method in this study which researchers thought as the

most appropriate method based on intention.

According to an online article, a descriptive is a study “aimed at casting light on current

issues or problems through a process of data collection that enables them to describe the situation

more completely than was possible without employing this method.

This method updates known status of ongoing events and details knowledge from the

outtakes which was provided by our targeted audience from the St. Joseph College Senior High

students. The main objective is to gain proper intel from the random sampling inside the campus,

therefore, it is more broad and unbiased from the different perspectives given. It dictates

awareness for the mass population to acquire its facts and composes a generalization for the

public.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study were randomly selected and are from St. Joseph College -

Olongapo Inc. Senior High Department on which our primary subjects are the grade 12 students

with a total of 12 sections on which we have surveyed about 216 students and each section has

respondents of 18 students. Gender composed of 9 males and 9 females per section. As the

researchers observed, most of the students are at the age of 17-18 years old.
Research Locale

The research will be based on Social Media influence to the Grade 12 Students at St.

Joseph College- Olongapo Inc. The research was conducted at St. Joseph College- Olongapo

Inc. Senior High Department, #10 Fontaine St., East Bajac Bajac Olongapo City Philippines, on

which twelve (12) sections was surveyed all from Grade 12.

St. Joseph College- Olongapo Inc. is one of the catholic institutions dedicated to serve

educational needs of the students in Olongapo. It was established in 1935 in a make shift site

with non-formal classes. This school was known as the oldest sectarian school in Olongapo

City.

Research Instruments

The research instrument used is the questionnaires to get a statistical data that will be

analyzed and will be beneficial for the result of the study. The questionnaire was randomly

distributed to Grade 12 students of Senior High Department at St. Joseph College- Olongapo Inc.

The researchers created these questionnaires to obtain the possible effects of social media on the

academic performance of grade 12 students of St. Joseph College – Olongapo Inc. that contains

four parts; the academic performance, health, social life and family of the grade 12 students. The

answer for the questionnaire will be chosen from always, often, seldom and never. The

procedure will be the same but the questions are categorized or divided into four categories. The

first was focused on the effects of social media on its academic performance. It also covers the

consequences of the respondents’ health. It also obtains the possible effects of social media to its

social life and the last part is the result of using too much of social media to its family. The
questionnaires must be answered by an individual’s own personal of social experience without

any time limit required. Unanswered questions must be doubled checked by the researchers

assigned.

Construction and Validation of Instruments

In order to acquire accurate and objective data for the research, valid and reliable

instruments must be constructed. The questionnaire composed by the researchers was based on

the effect of Social media in Grade 12 student of Saint Joseph College regarding to their studies.

To assure the certainty of the questions to be included in the instruments, the researchers seek

out for the assistance of their subject teacher for suggestions and comments. The questions made

were based on what perspective the researchers wanted to achieve. Revisions were made before

the Survey of the Grade 12 students in Saint Joseph College - Olongapo Inc. to make sure that

the questions are in line with the researchers’ topic. After we review all the answers of the

respondents and made additional consultation to knowledge persons on the subject concerned.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers used stratified random sampling to choose a diverse respondents. The

researchers aim to provide the questionnaires to all the randomly chosen grade 12 students of St.

Joseph College- Olongapo Inc. Senior High Department, assuming of 9 girls and 9 boys per

section that is randomly picked students to answer the questionnaires. The procedure was

presented that the grade 12 students are given the chance to clarify some matters before
answering the questionnaires. When the respondents finished answering the questionnaires, the

researchers should make sure that all unanswered questions are marked and responded. In this

gathering procedure, the respondents are able to answer the questions without being pressured by

the time limit. The researchers gave enough time so that the respondents can review its answers

thoroughly before passing the questionnaires to the researchers assigned. Afterwards, the

questionnaires will be gathered and analyzed by the researchers.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data that has been gathered from the survey has been accounted for and double-

checked for any previous mistakes. It was manually checked and deconstructed for precise

statistics and correct percentage of the needed details. Responses by students were statistically

analyzed with data instruments of the study. Statistics form students to describe their profile and

range, performances, and social concerns are considered. For instance, age, sex and strand that

they are in have been taken to account. The data has also been provided to showcase the lifestyle

and convenience of the respondents. This research study has used the descriptive method to

assay the rate of the performance of the individuals. Descriptive research can be explained as a

statement of affairs as they are at present with the researcher having no control over variable. It

is used to determine and identify a certain object or following, while it attempts to explain why

or how it came to be in the general media. The following are the statistical tools used in the

interpretation of data:

1. Percentage and Frequency. This was computed using the following formula:
𝐹
P = 𝑁 X 100%
 Where: P= percentage

F = frequency

N = total number of respondents

100 = constant value

2. Weighted Mean. This was computed using the following formula:

WX = åFX

N
𝑇𝑊
WX = 𝑁

Where: WX = weighted mean

TW = total weight

N = population size

F = frequency

X = assigned value/scale

N = total number of respondents

3. Slovin’s formula. This was computed using the following formula:

𝑁
n=
1 + 𝑁𝑒𝑟 2

Where:

N = population

E = error balance \ .05

 4. Chi-Square Test. This was computed using the following formula:

2
(𝑂 − 𝐸)2
𝑥 =∑
𝐸

Where:

O = observed

E = expected

To provide qualitative meaning to the description used in the level of engagement, the following

point equivalents and codes were used:

Scale Mean Interval Descriptive Rating Code

Always 3.40 – 4.19

Sometimes 2.60 – 3.39
Seldom 1.80 – 2.59
Never 1.00– 1.79
 CHAPTER IV

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Interpretation of Data

The researchers collect data from Grade 12 students of St. Joseph College- Olongapo

Inc., Senior High School Department. From the result collected from 216 students of Grade 12,

the proponents are able to analyze and study the results.

Out of 451 students of Grade 12 of St. Joseph College Senior High School, 216

respondents were randomly picked in every section. These 216 students are categorized in

different strands classified as STEM, ABM, HUMMS, HE, GAS, and ICT. Through the use of

random sampling, the respondents volunteered to participate in the survey.

The table 1-5 below shows the profile of the respondents.

Table 1. Effects of Social Media to Grade 12 students in terms of Division of Age

 Table 1 shows the division of age of the respondents. Through random picking, the

researchers ended up with 3% 15-16 years old students, 93% 17-18 years old students and 4% 19

years old and above students. Out of 216 students, 6 students are 15-16 years old, 202 students

are 17-18 years old and 8 students are 19 years old and above. Majority of the respondents are

from the range 17-18 years old as the survey was given to Grade 12 to whom the study is for.

Different ages of the respondents did not affect the results of the study.

Table 2. Effects of Social Media to Grade 12 students in terms of Division of sex

DIVISION OF SEX

Male 50%

Female 50%

As could be gleaned on table 2 the division of sex of the respondents. By picking 8 boys

and 8 girls per section, the researchers ended up with 50% boy students and 50% girl students.

Out of 216 respondents, 108 students are boys while the rest, 108 students, are girls. To achieve
an accurate result and avoid bias, the proponents decided to randomly pick 8 boys and 8 girls per

section.

The table above shows the division of strands of the respondents. 42% are from the

STEM Strand, these are students that wants a College Degree Program aligned to Science,

Technology, Engineering and Math. 25% are from the ABM Strand, these are students that wants

a College Degree Program aligned to Accountancy and Business Management. 17% are from the

HUMMS Strand, these are students that wants a College Degree Program aligned to Humanities

and Social Science. 8% are from the GAS/HE Strand, these are students that wants a College

Degree Program aligned to Home Economics and General Academic Strand. Then 8% are from

the ICT Strand, these are students that wants a College Degree Program aligned to Information
and Communication Technology. Out of 216 respondents, 90 are from STEM Strand, 54 are

from ABM Strand, 36 are from HUMMS Strand, 18 are from the GAS/HE Strand and the rest,

18 students, are from ICT Strand.

 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY

The established purpose of this summary is to demonstrate the effects of using social

media in the current modern day. It will give the readers knowledge on its capabilities and

positive or negative effects in the communities. It is contributed to give information to the

students and school staff to have a better understanding of its general outcomes. The conductors

of the research have chosen St. Joseph College Olongapo-Inc. Senior High School students to be

the respondents because of its Grade 12 populace and majority of them are within range of its

wide academic performances.

According to the proponents’ findings, social media have positive and negative effects.

Social media aids the students in terms of academic performance. 35% of the respondents

always use social media to help in terms of academics. It also benefits the respondents in terms

of social life as is helps the students to connect to friends. Although there is also a large number

of respondents who have experienced bullying online or involved in bashing others. Social media

also helps in communication. 33% of the respondents use social media for communicating with

family members. Social media has its positive effects but according to the researcher’s findings

social media causes negative effects when it is abused or not used properly. Some of its negative

effects is students’ addiction to the usage of social media. The study states that 39% of the

respondents always use social media during class hours. Using social media during class hours

can cause distraction and in return students will be disinterested in the class discussion and may

affect the students’ academic performance. 39% of the respondents experienced lack of sleep due
to social media usage and 44% checks one’s social media account before sleeping. Using social

media before sleeping can lead to sleeping late and since students need to wake up early the next

day, they will experience lack of sleeping hours. It also affects a students’ sleeping pattern

because the user will tend to sleep at different times and wake up at different times. Having no

enough sleep can cause a feeling of exhaustion to students so a student who lacks sleep may

oversleep, sleep in class or lack enthusiasm during the day. The study also shows that 17% of the

respondents always skip meals to use social media and 24% answered sometimes. Skipping

meals can affect a person’s performance and overall health. The study shows that social media is

beneficial to the respondents though it can cause negative effects depending on how it is used.

The conductors of the research can now answer the statement of the problems.

Specifically, this sought answers to the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1.Age;

This indicates that our respondents are that capable of using the media for

their own wanted needs like interaction through online communication

and academic purposes.

1.2. Sex;

This affects the preferred usage of social media and achieves an unbiased

proponent to show its range and variety.

 1.3.Strand;

Every strand was chosen for this research to get the diverse answers for

the different line of academic strands needed to participate in the research.

1.4.Accessibility to internet

This determines the number of our respondents that differs from the

providers of internet and the adequate usage of it to show the numerous

usage of the social media.

1.5.Estimated time of sleeping?

This exhibits the consumption of time of the students to be used on social

media rather than it to be sleeping

2. What are the effects of social media to the student-respondents in terms of:

2.1. Academic performance(Rank & Average);

The students rely on the usage of social media for the gathering of

information for easier access and different implications of data. Although

an advancement to studying, it also hinders the student from studies due to

the many distractions it can cause.

2.2.Social life

The students have different effects per person depending on his usage of

the social media. It either contributes to his popularity and charisma or

withdraws the needed attention to confirm a individuals social life.

 2.3.Health

This considers the respondents well-being when it comes to being affected

by social media and the valuing the needed rest and nutrition per person.

2.4 Family;

Social media may cause a hindrance to family relationships when not used

appropriately. Although, it can be helpful to easily communicate with

family members who are far away.

3. Is there significant difference on the respondent when grouped according to age, sex,

strand, accessibility to the internet and estimated time of sleeping?

Most of the respondents are between the ages 17-18 which are the “millennial”. The

sex of the respondents was divided equally as to avoid biased result. All the strands

which are the STEM, ABM, HUMMS, GAS/HE AND ICT are included in this research

to have diversity. Most of the respondent’s access through internet is the Wi-Fi then next

to frequently chosen are data connection and computer shops. The mental ability of some

respondents may be decreased due to their usage of social media taking up their sleeping

time, adjusting their required amount of rest for a body to function well.

4. What is the implication of the findings to the Senior High School Students?

To assess the effects of social media regarding academics and how it is considered

to be a positive and negative cause for students, parents and teachers. It can also serve as

an exposure or eye-opener for the readers that the included information in the research
 can explore the needed amount of data for those to understand the present issue. The

researchers found that social media have positive effects but when it is abused or not used

properly then it cause negative effects.

CONCLUSION

The study concludes that one cannot say that social media only affects the users positively or

it only affects the users negatively. Social media has its positive and negative effects, it will only

be determined depending on how it is used. Social media will have positive effects when users

know how to use it properly and use it in moderation. Social Media aids the users in terms of

communication with family, friends and schoolmates. Though, its negative effect is that the users

get addicted to it to the point that they depend on it too much and even sacrifice their meals and

sleep for it.

Social Information Processing Theory explains how individuals use computer-mediated

communication to develop interpersonal impressions and to advance relational communication

overtime. The theory focuses on how communication through computer becomes impersonal due

to the absence of non-verbal cues like facial expression and eye contact. But the researchers

would like to reject this theory because according to the study’s findings, social media benefits

the students in terms of social life and communication. There are also new trends like “emoji”

and sending pictures to help the users have a deeper understanding of the message. The social

media also include voice call and video call which can be quite similar to face to face interaction.

According to the theory of Siemens and Downes “Connectivism” explains how internet

technologies have created new opportunities for the people to learn and share information across
the world. Similar to the findings of the proponents on the study, Social Networking Sites have a

positive impact to the users, it can help in one’s daily lives and aids in learning new things.

Social media encourage the students to share and seek out information which can be beneficial in

terms of gaining information and knowledge. Another theory is Bandura’s “Social Cognitive

Theory” which stated that communicators systems operate through two pathways. First one is the

Direct Pathway, talking to audience to see your presence, to promote changes by informing,

enabling, motivating and guiding participants. People who knows to motivate and guiding, will

help individuals to be stronger in life. The way you talk to people will show emotions and can

help boost confidence. In the gathered results, students can talk to family members directly and

can help them or guide them. Second is the Social Mediated pathway which uses social media to

interact and community to comprehend personalized guidance and desire for change. People

nowadays use social media as a basic livelihood to promote some product to spread easily and a

tool to communicate to each other which can also be seen on the results of the researchers’ study.

This study was conducted to see the academic outcome of student’s spending most of the

time in websites. According to the study entitled “Impact of social media on Student’s academic

performance,” The findings were mostly positive because students can generate and share new

ideas which would give information about certain needed topics. Their use of social media is

sometimes for entertainment purposes that students can use to waste time and other means but

mostly it used for their general academics that can help them perform better at their studies. It

has become a daily habit to use social media for everyday use and it is normal in our generation

today. It is considered as a form of academics that entertains its users to encourage them to study

better, play later. The researchers approve of their statement. By using social media, academic

performance of individuals is rising because it educates media users and gives an interesting
outlook to studying. Social media is mainly used for communication and gathering of

information for students and these are the main reasons for affirming that their school activities

are increasing. According to Cain and Chretien, It is observed that instead of individuals learning

by themselves, it is better to come together to share knowledge with others. Having shared

information with others can improve other’s experience in said subject or can give prior data to

some required object. Social media is utilized to create this group conversation and contributes to

the assembly that happens. The researchers affirm that social media increases the associations or

groups being made for an objective. According to the findings, it increases a person's social life

and will also give knowledge about subjects. By using the media as a form of trading

information, it can affect a person's experience in life and understanding. According to the study

entitled “Social learning graphs: combining social network graphs and analytics to represent

learning experiences” by Pardo it is stated that social media helped the students to exercise

freedom of expression through internet. Based on the findings of the researchers and the result of

our study, it is said that the students are able to express its opinions and thoughts through social

media in most expressive way. Social media helped students to become relatable and socialize

more.

According to the study entitled “social media constructs, district” it is said that social

media users become more reliant in exploring the world of social media. Social media can be a

platform to communicate and share thoughts or information but its negative effect is it causes

addiction. Based on the findings of the researchers, this statement is true, students use social

media for communication, entertainment and education. It will have positive effects as long as

addiction is avoided. The findings showed that most negative effects came from social media

addiction. According to the study entitled impact of Social media to student's lives and academic
performance" by Astodello, Social media has a big impact to all of us. Based on Astodello,

students satisfy their social need rather than their academic needs and it tells how social media

can affect our lives. It may be positive and negative but keep in mind that you ought to know

your limits when using Social Media. The researchers affirm this statement because according to

the findings, social media really satisfy the students’ social needs though it also benefits them in

terms of academics. According to the study entitled "A digital lifestyle Capital in the making"

Social media usage in the Philippines is getting worst. Based on Revesencio’s statement,

Filipinos are addicted in using social media especially the students. Similarly to our study

students really do use Social Media too much which leads to social media addiction. It just

shows that social media usage must be lessen and be in moderation.

According to the study entitled, “The Effect of Social Networking on Students’

Academic Performance by Sudha & Kavitha the negative effects of social networking sites on

their academic performance are high and its positive effects are low. Faculty members felt like

there are more negative impacts on the student’s academic performance rather than positive. The

reason for this is the student’s lack of awareness on the appropriate usage of SNS. The

researchers disagree on this because the findings show that social media helps the students

academically. A study conducted by Mingle & Adams (2015) entitled Social Media Network

Participation and Academic Performance in Senior High Schools has revealed that despite the

benefits that come with the participation of students on social media networks, it could impact

negatively on their academic performance if not used properly. Mingle and Adams’ study is

similar to the proponents’ study where the findings show that social media has various benefits

but if it is not used properly then it causes negative effects. According to the study entitled

"Effects of Social Network Sites Usage on Student Engagement and Achievements" by Johoora,
F., the observation of the empirical data shows that the students refer and started using social

networks for academic purposes. Based on our study, students really depend to social networks

for their academics. They tend to get a lot of information through the internet faster and easier.

They are also able to communicate to friends, classmates and teachers through social media.

According to the study entitled "Negative Impact of Social Networking Sites on Academic

Performance of Students" by Naizabekov, the study concluded that social media causes

procrastination as a result of its distracting nature. Based on our study, our result does not meet

the result of the said research. Because, most of the students refer to social media for academic

purposes not as a distraction. But at some point, social media can lead to a negative situation

once it is abused or not properly used. Depending on the user, social media can really be a

distraction, the users have the choice to be tempted by it or not.

To conclude the study according to Kulidtod & Pasagui, this study is acceptable and

relatable to the proponents’ study since it portrays the effects of social media towards the

student’s life. It shows on how social media influence the life of a student like sharing and

receiving information related to academics or social purposes. So the study also showed that

even when the objective is for academic purposes, in practice it still becomes for social purposes.

So the result is that it is very practical that the effect of social media helps the students motivates

them to be participative in the classroom and improves their communication skills which benefits

them. In addition, this study can benefit to our research since it shows the relationship of social

media and the students. The study of Judilla & Gemora entitled, “Influence of Social Networking

on the Study Habits and Performance of Students in a State University” states that social media

can have a high influence on a student’s study habits and academic performance. To sum up, I

believe that this study is acceptable for a reason that the findings of the study involve the
influence of social media to mind of the student. Since the findings portrays that being active in

social networking could affect students socially, emotionally and academically. This may mean

that social networking could highly influence the study habits and academic performance of

students. And therefore results that this study is relatable to the cause of the researchers study

since it shows the influence of social media. According to the study entitled “The Effects of

Social Networking Sites” conducted by Isaac Morallo, “It is therefore imperative that the student

use of SNSs is a way of life and serves as a powerful tool for social interaction. Furthermore, the

improvement in the student grade relies on all other factors within the teaching learning process

and could not be attributed to the use of SNS alone. On the other hand, it is found out that the

proper and reasonable use of SNSs could help the students in one way or another in their

assignments, class discussions and interactions with their instructors.” The researchers affirm

this result beacause it is similar to the findings of the proponents. There are many factors that

affect a student’s academic performance and social media is just one of them. Social media have

positive effects but also have negative effects when not used properly.

The researchers therefore conclude that Social media have positive effects in terms of

academic performance, social life and family relationship. But using it too much can affect one’s

health and other aspects as well. Therefore students must be taught proper usage of it and must

be reminded of the beauty of traditional way of learning and communicating.

RECOMMENDATIONS

For Students

Media is the main source of information and a form of self-entertainment for the students

but it can also be a distraction from the students’ main purpose or objective. The students should

be self-aware of the limits when using Social Media. Putting the main purpose first and avoiding

distraction is the best way to handle assignment or tasks properly. Procrastinating must be

avoided and a habit that should be removed from a student’s system to further develop academic

capabilities. Most of the students’ time is consumed by the usage of social media which can also

affect one’s health. Exhaustion among the students due to the lack of sleep from late night use of

media and some students skipping meals are some of its proof. Students should set a time limit to

the usage of social media to avoid exhaustion and get a have a full body rest. They should have a

complete meal, three times a day, to provide their bodies’ daily needs and must be scheduled for

proper nutrition. Social media is a good place for social interaction but one must know how to

use it properly. Everyone must be aware of Internet Etiquette and not abuse one’s freedom of

expression. It would be better to bring back the things we were accustomed to before the up rise

of technology addiction like having an actual conversation rather than conversing through social

media. Although it may give a chance to interact with people outside the country, real life

interaction is still the best way of communication.

For School Administration and Teachers

The school faculty must be aware of the effects of social media to the students. The

school must know the reason behind the student’s behavior and have a deep understanding for
the students. Seminars and lessons about proper social media usage will also be helpful. Teachers

can be a good model to guide and help students use social media in a positive way and avoid

social media addiction.

For Parents and Family members

Social media can be used as a way of communication for family members who are far

from each other. Though in some cases, it causes less interaction between the families of the

students. There is also a large number of respondents that always use social media inside the

household. Most of the students lack a close relationship with their family. Be more open to your

family rather than social media. Students should have a closer relationship with their families

and have quality time with them. Usage of social media must be in moderation. One must realize

the importance of face to face conversations and close family relationship. Parents must always

guide one’s child and have a close relationship. Understand the students more and encourage the

younger generation to have real life interaction and use social media in moderation.

For Future Researchers

Although the tasked and advised direction from supervisor has told the researchers of the

needed implication of research, it has been taken in to account that there will still be

improvement in the research and have added to the recommendation. It is recommended that

researchers should take the respondent’s average grade. It would have been easier to relate if we

added this as a dependent variable to learn of the ranking of the academic performance of the
individual. For a more varied and diverse source of data there should be other school targets.

There should be other schools because each school has a different style of teaching to the

students so the usage of social media may also differ. Also, there must be more samples. It

would give a more precise answer to the given questionnaire and more authenticity for it to be

further considered as an adequate research.
