Social media started when people start to communicate.

Social means human society, as interference of people, groups and word

media are the medium of expressions. Most of the forms of social media are

not digital, it generates a large number of innovations and is one of the

biggest inventions of technology which is now most popular and widely

used. Social media has equal positive or negative aspects, but many

students are using these sites on a regular basis. Social networking has

iv
become a common international trend which has spread across almost

every corner of the world.

This undertaking aims to determine the effects of using social media on the

study habits of grade 11 students of Purisima Diocesan School Inc. for the

School Year 2022- 2023.

This study will make them realize of what social media bring towards

their academics. The findings revealed that the time spent on social media

can negatively affect students’ academic activities. Therefore, it is our

suggestion that for students to be more productive, they need to minimize

the time they spend engaging in social media activities.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

Social refers to human society, as the mediums of expression include

people, groups, and the written word. Despite the fact that the majority of social

media platforms are not digital, it generates a large number of innovations and is

presently one of the most popular and widely used technical developments.

Numerous students use these sites every day, despite the fact that social media

have both positive and negative aspects. Social networking has become a

worldwide phenomenon that has spread to almost every region on earth.

Social media is a web-based mobile application that allows people or

organizations to produce, interact with, and share new user-generated or current

material in a digital space. Students are consumers, whereas the media are

producers. Modern secondary school students' use of social media such as

Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Whatsapp is causing widespread academic

failure among children (David, 2014). Students spend more time speaking with

their classmates than doing research or reading their textbooks. The use of

social media by students expedites their access to essential information,

according to Davis et al (Social Media by Students, 2017). According to Das, B.,

and Sahoo, J.S. (2010). As a consequence of using social media sites,

individuals spend more time communicating with their friends. People develop an

addiction to examining

viii
their own status on social networking sites after a few minutes every day.

Consequently, when we adapt to our increasingly technological culture, our

social connections are affected in several ways. The way in which Internet users

interact and communicate has changed and continues to change. These users

now engage in social engagement through the Internet, which diminishes

conventional human interaction. Social networking websites have altered our

face-to-face contacts, the way we acquire information, and the dynamics of our

social groups and friendships, so influencing our social interaction (Asur and

Huberman, 2016).

Our research intends to examine the connection between social media

and the academic achievements of students. Numerous studies have been

conducted over the years on the impact of social media on the academic

performance of students, and the results demonstrate a strong correlation

between the two variables. As a result of technological advancements, social

networking sites have become increasingly popular among students. And it has

become a serious issue how students' usage of social networking sites impacts

their academic achievement.

Theoretical Framework

Due to the development of media, the world has transitioned

significantly from the physical to the online realm. More emphasis was

placed on creating online communities for those with similar interests.

During the last two centuries, there has been a surge in the intensive use of

2
social media on a global scale. It has been noticed that social media

enables users to propagate their ideas, perspectives, interests, and

programs, among other things, since words may have varied meanings

depending on their context. Masood, Luqman, Feng, and Ali (2020).

This study was conducted using categories of social media,

multitasking behaviors, and performance derived from previous research.

This coordinated social media model would serve as the basis for

constructing a consensus-based model that may elucidate these linkages

more precisely. In this sense, the present work focuses on comprehending

the links between the causes and effects of social media from the

viewpoints of both students and universities. Volume 8 Number 1 of the

Statement of the Problem

This research intends to find out the effects of media use on the study

habits of grade 11 students at Purisima Diocesan School Inc. throughout the

2022-2023 school year. The researchers will specifically explore solutions to the

following issues:

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

1.1 Gender;

1.2 Age;

2. Does social media can give you benefits to your education?

3. To what extent is the effect of social media on the study habits of

respondents?

4. Will social networking be beneficial to its respondent?

Hypothesis

The following hypotheses are generated by the researcher and were tested in

this study:

1. Students' social media addiction has no substantial effect on their

academic performance.

2. Students' exposure to social media networks does not significantly affect

their academic performance.

3. Students' academic results at Purisima Diocesan School, Inc. are not

greatly affected by their use of social media.

5
 4. There is no substantial difference in the use of social media networks by

male and female students.

5. There is no correlation between age and the usage of social media.

Scope and Limitation

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents an assortment of literature and, foreign and local

that is related to this study. In order to support the current inquiry, a variety of

material and concepts that have been gleaned from books, journals, and the

work of previous researchers that have an influence on the investigation have

been analyzed and evaluated.

Related Literature

Foreign

According to a 2010 poll done by comScore, Inc., a worldwide leader in

measuring the digital world and a recognized source of digital marketing

analytics, Filipino internet users are the most active in online social networking.

comScore said in a news release that the Philippines had the greatest social

networking use in the Asia-Pacific region, with more than 90 percent of its Web

population accessing a social networking site in February 2010, followed by

Australia (89.6 percent) and Indonesia (88.8 percent).

Nottingham Treat University (2017) conducted a review of previous

research on personality traits and social media use. The authors conclude that it

may be plausible to speak specifically of 'Facebook Addiction Disorder' because

9
addiction criteria, such as neglect of personal life, mental preoccupation,

escapism, mood-altering experiences, tolerance, and concealment of addictive

behavior, appear to be present in some pages that excessively use social

networks.

Local

The large number of active internet users and status as the "most social nation"

in the Philippines are strongly related to the country's youthful demographic

population. According to an examination of figures by Statista, about 78.5 million

Filipino students use social media. It represents a staggering 71% of the total

country's population.

In the Philippines, individuals utilize social media not just to communicate

with one another but also to educate themselves. On the other hand, it has been

seen that young people use social media platforms to an unhealthy extent, which

may have an impact on the amount of work that students do for their at-home

projects. Al-Deen and Hendricks (2011) state that social media platforms such as

Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have seen explosive growth over the course of

the last decade, attracting vast numbers of users

Related Studies

Foreign

10
 Arnold and Paulus (2010) discovered that even when social media is

utilized for instructional purposes, students use the technology in ways that may

vary from the course instructor's aim.Tapscott and Williams (2010) shown in their

research that social knowledge applications may significantly improve student

learning and knowledge acquisition by promoting interaction, collaboration, active

participation, resource sharing, and critical thinking. Social network and media

technologies in this context include Blog, Wiki, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter,

among others. Numerous studies have been undertaken to analyze the impact of

social media on student academic attainment. According to Choney (2010),

MehMood & Taswir (2013), Kist (2008), and Jacobsen & Forste (2011), the use

of technology, such as the internet, is one of the most significant factors that

might effect students' educational performance in a positive or negative way.

Local

Recent local study indicates that the vast majority of young Filipinos own a

mobile phone (78%), have social networking accounts (83%), and have access

to the internet (59%). There is evidence that young people are too concerned

with the Internet. A young Filipino spends six hours per week on the internet on

average, whereas 3.5% of teenagers spend at least 35 hours per week online.

The Philippines' strong smartphone adoption is predicted to enhance internet

use, especially social media.

Synthesis

11
 Teenagers are avid users of social networking sites (SNS). The purpose

of this study was to investigate the impact of social networking sites on students'

academic achievement. Thus, the researchers would provide students and future

researchers with knowledge on the impacts of social networking sites.

 Chapter V
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter summarizes the researchers' conclusions and

recommendations. This chapter will go over the findings of the analysis in order

to address the effects of social media on academic performance.

Conclusion

Due to the rapid advancement of technology in recent years, the usage of

social media has grown pervasive and widespread over the globe. People from

various areas of life utilize social networking platforms. Students in particular

have gotten so used to social media that they might spend a significant amount

of time on it. This study investigated the influence of social media on student

academic achievement.

The findings indicate that time spent on social media might have a

detrimental impact on pupils' academic performance. Therefore, our

recommendation is that for students to be more productive, they should spend

less time engaged in social media activities.

Recommendation

The following recommendations were made based upon the survey, the

results, and the institution's own analysis:

21
1. Students may be urged to restrict the amount of time they spend on social

networking sites per day and encouraged to use those hours to increase

their knowledge by reading novels and academic publications.

2. Students using Internet-capable mobile phones may be encouraged to

utilize them to enhance their library study, as opposed to their customary

practice of conversing with pals constantly.

3. The parents will enforce time management and encourage their children to

refrain from engaging in social media activities.
