According to Davis (2016), social media may be broadly characterized as a collection

of interactive online applications that encourage the creation, curation, and sharing of user-

generated content, either individually or collaboratively. How one's study habits affect their

ability to study. These are the routines that children develop while attending school Paul

(2017). The capacity to set aside immediate cravings or drives in favor of long-term

objectives is known as self-limitation (Baumeister and Vohs, 2018). Research has indicated

that social media has the potential to be an effective instrument for raising student motivation

and engagement levels as well as encouraging cooperation and communication among

students. Most studies looking at social media use have been carried out in higher

education. (Tang & Hew, 2017; Kimmons et al., 2018.) Although social media has many

positive effects, there are also several drawbacks to using it. First, it has been discovered

that excessive social media usage by students is a key contributor to addiction and

distraction, both of which have a negative academic impact. (Acheaw & Larson, 2015; Agwi

& Ogwueleka, 2018; Kolan & Dzandza 2018). Second, rather than thinking of social media

as a tool for education, people often presume that kids would use it for amusement.

Local Literature

CARATIQUIT, 2023, found that Filipino students who used social media extensively

and often tended to do worse academically and have poorer study habits. looked on the

multitasking habits of Filipino students, whose usage of social media while studying led to

problems with self-control and decreased focus (Conquilla et al, 2021). Highlighted how

Foreign Studies

A quantitative examination of University of Ghana students' social media addiction

was carried out by Shopera (2017). A sample of University of Ghana students was examined

to determine the level of social media addiction. The observer used the Uses and

Gratification principle and the MediaSystems Dependency concept as part of the theoretical

framework. Peering whether or not social media dependency among students existed and, if

it did, how dependent they were were the two main objectives of the study. For this study, a

sample of 200 college students from the University of Ghana's four schools was used. To

quantify the degree of social media addiction among students, a self-administered

questionnaire consisting of 13 questions from the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was used to

collect data. The study was supported by the uses, gratifications, and media systems

dependency theories. The results indicate that just 1% of respondents are significantly

addicted to social media, despite scores from almost 19% of respondents falling outside this

category. The remaining 80% of respondents' scores indicated that they had a moderate to

mild social media addiction. The study's conclusions also showed that the majority of college

students use their social media accounts for pleasure, with WhatsApp being the most

popular social media site among them in terms of both subscriptions and usage.

The goal of the study by Amin, Z., Mansoor, A., Hussain, S. R., & Hashmat, F. (2016)

was to determine how increasing social media website use affected college and university

students' overall performance in the classroom. A random sampling strategy was used to

choose a sample of 300 college students. 97% of the questionnaires returned by

respondents were utilized as a means of gathering data, and descriptive statistics were
applied for data analysis. The results indicate that social media may have a huge influence

since the true impact of social media sites has been thoroughly examined. It supports kids'

providers and futures in the most recent era. College students are drawn to social

networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Skype, which surely affects their

academic performance. The study "Influence of Students’ Engagement with Social Networks

on their StudyHabits and Cognitive Skills in Science Classrooms" (Oginni, Saibu, Awobodu,

and Alaka, 2016) used a survey questionnaire to gather data from a sample of one hundred

(100) senior secondary school students to examine the impact of students’ engagement with

social networks on their study habits and cognitive abilities in technology lecture rooms in

secondary colleges in Education District VI, Lagos State, Nigeria examine the proposed

hypotheses, chi-square analysis with the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) at

0.05 significance alpha stage was used. The study's conclusions showed that students'

attitudes, how they perceive conduct, and their cognitive capacities in technology-filled

classrooms are significantly impacted by their usage of social networks. The analysis

supported the idea that students should be made aware of the advantages and

disadvantages of using social media for both educational and recreational purposes. The

goal of the most current study by Khan and Ullah (2021) was to investigate how social media

affects college students' behavior at Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education in Owerri.

The design of the study focused on the survey approach, which employed questionnaires to

gather data from a sample of students. To assess the data, SPSS (Statistical Bundle for

Social Sciences) was utilized. The exact tool utilized for analysis was Spearman's Rho,

which was included in frequency tables and bar charts. The use of social media significantly

impacted the behavior of Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri, college

students. This demonstrated the necessity for community members to get therapy and take

other proactive steps to guarantee that students continued to acknowledge their biggest

obstacle to their education.

( Nacino and . Serafines, 2019), investigated how late-night social media use

affected sleep patterns and how it affected the study habits of nearby students. According to

(Frades, 2023), passive social media material consumption frequently competes with active

learning, which has an impact on local students' ability to study well. (Nur-In I. Alih and

Almarezza L. Alvarez, 2021) examined how procrastination brought on by social media

affected study habits and stressed the need for time management. (Francine Kate Tipon et

al., 2021) focused on the influence of impulse control on self-limitation while examining the

difficulties associated with it in the local setting. highlighted how social media affects time

management, especially how it contributes to time-wasting habits among the local student

body (Gilbert M. Talaue et al., 2018).

Synthesis

The provided studies synthesize a comprehensive view of the impact of social media

on study habits, self-limitation, and student engagement. It touches upon both the positive

and negative aspects of social media's influence on education and includes local and foreign

studies. It highlights how social media can enhance engagement and collaboration among

students while underscoring the challenges such as addiction, distraction, and the potential

for misusing social media for entertainment rather than academic purposes.

The foreign studies mentioned investigate topics like social media addiction levels,

the impact of social media on students' academic performance, and students' engagement

with social networks. These studies provide valuable insights into the global context of the

issue.

Additionally, the local studies provide a Filipino perspective, examining the impact of

late-night social media use on sleep patterns, the relationship between social media-induced

procrastination and study habits, and the challenges of impulse control and time

management within the local student population.

the benefits while addressing the potential drawbacks of social media in an educational

context.
