INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Social media usage by students is so rampant recently because ofeasy access to

devices such as smart phones, i-phones, tablets, i-pad and laptops which are connected
to the internet. Addiction to the usage of social media has extremely increased in recent
times. The perils of it’s effects on the academic performance of the over-involved
students are disturbing. Academic performance which is depicted by the grades of
students is a great concern student that spends excessive time on social lnetworks
become dependent on it and it is believed that their academic performance diminishes
proportionately. It is perceived that school grades will suffer when spending too
much time on social sites such as facebook,as valuable study time is lost.

The rapid advancement of media technology has had a great impacton the way people
communicate on a daily basis. The growing dimensionof the use of the social media
among the youth of today cannot be over emphasized. Over the years, social networking
among students hasbecome more and more popular. It is a way to make connections,
not onlyin school but with friends outside of school. Social networking is a waythat helps
people feels they belong to a community. Due to the increased
popularity of social media. It also affects the students’ academic
performance. The use of technology such as internet is one of the most important factors
that can influence educational performance of studentspositively or adversely. Many
parents and guardians are worried thatstudents are spending too much time on facebook
and other social mediasites and have not enough time to study. Though parents are
worriedabout students constant use of the social media sites, many students

continue to utilize these sites on a daily basis.It is against this background that this
research is being conductedto ascertain the effects of social media on the academic
performance of Grade 12 students of ESNCHS. We the researchersconducted this
research because we have noticed in the school campusthat social media specifically
facebook affects the academic performanceof students of ESNCHS by spending their
whole time onit and ignoring their school works resulting to lower grades and poor
classperformance. Therefore, we researchers wants to know the positive andnegative
effects of social media to the academic performance of studentsof University of
Pangasinan and the factors that causes poor

class performance result. The researchers also wants to know how social mediacan
improve a students academic performance in an effective way.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The internet is today the most important source of information and the growing
dimensions of the use of social media by students cannot be underestimated. It has been
observed that students devote more attentionand time to social media especially
facebook than they do for their studies and they cannot pass their examinations well if
they do not learn.

Academic excellence plays an important role in a students’ life; be it in the

family, at social gatherings, at workplace, in an institution or even among peers. Much
emphasis is placed on academic excellence because of the
role it plays in an individual’s life as far as a successful life and respect is
concerned in every part of the world. Due to this, many people are concerned with the
ways that they can improve their academic performance.

This study will focus to these following questions:

1.What are the positive and negative effects of social media to the academic performance
of grade 12 students of ESNCHS?

2. What are the social factors that causes the students academic performance result to
poor class performance?

3. How can social media help the grade 12 students of ESNCHS to improve their class
performance?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study is all about the Effects of Social Media to the academic Performance especially
for Grade 12 students of University of Pangasinan. This study wants to explain the
proper usage of Social Media.

This study is for:

Grade 12 Students of ESNCHS. They find here the advantages and disadvantages of
Social Media. All students of ESNCHS. To be more aware of using social media and to be
more responsible. Faculty Members of Humanities and Social Sciences. To be aware
from the actions of their students and educate them about their limitations of using
Social Media"

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The respondents of the study are 50 selected grade 12 students of ESNCHS. The
researchers do not include other year levels to this study because of their self-control in
terms of social media. This aims to identify the students who are addicted in social
media resulting in poor class performance. The researchers do not intend to include all
kinds of factors that may affect student's poor class performance, but is only focused on
getting the positive and negative effects of social media, social factors that may affect
students academic performance and to know how social media can help improve the
academic performance of grade 12 students of ESNCHS

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

RELATED LITERATURE

Foreign Literature The concept of social media Social media continuously keeps
changing and as such it is difficult to assign a fixed definition to it as Jacka and Scott
(2011), argued that ‘’there is no single recognized definition for social media’’. However
some scholars have defined it in different perspectives over the past years. Kaplan and
Haenlein (2010), defined social media as a group of internet- based applications that
build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0 and allow the creation
and exchange of user-generated content. The Oxford dictionary (2011), also defined
social media as “websites and applications used for social networking”. Another
definition of social media is that it is a ‘’communication channel which is very popular,
extremely fast and broad, has proven to be highly effective, as well as trusted by billions
of people , to share and discover content concerning individuals, brands, information,
entertainment and knowhow’’ (Dearborn, 2014). One theme that all these definitions
underpin is that social media involves some form of communication between individuals
over the internet. Social media began in the late 1990s with the first recognized social
media network called Six Degrees in 1997 and this technology enabled people.
RELATED STUDIES

Foreign Studies Transition in behavior has led the youth to explore new patterns of
information and perform multitasking. Though, this multitasking has to affect the time
utility and distribution in both positive and negative ways. One significant effect of these
channels is on the student’s academic performance and several empirical studies have
reported that the excessive unproductive time spent on social networking sites have
affect the students grades. Similarly, a preliminary analysis of the “Effects of Facebook
usage” by undergraduate students at Lulea University of Technology in Sweden. The
research model used for this study tests the perceived affect of self regulation, trust and
personality traits on student achievements. The research model suggests the negative
mediating effects of the Social Networking Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Skype
etc. The concluding remarks are that, a decrease occurs in the student’s academic
performance but a positive effect on the satisfaction with life. Similarly, SNS do affect
one’s academic performance adversely. It causes the gradual drop in the grades of the
students directly. It affects the student’s academic performance if he/she invests his/her
time in SNS instead in his studies. Time wasting is a major issue in this regard. SNS are
highly addictive to those people who cannot control themselves into constantly using
these sites, prioritize entertainment over work and gives too much attention to social
acceptance and affiliation. The situation is 18.

That if a student gives too much time to SNS, there is an ultimately decrease in its
academic performance. Same as mentioned above, Social networking site like Facebook
becomes an issue as people relates this with academic performance. Many researchers
are working to explore the correlation between social networking sites and academic
performance. Those students, who use Facebook and twitter, have shorter span of
attention in classrooms. Such sites create many problems for teachers because
abbreviations commonly used on sites such as Twitter and Facebook are also making it
into coursework, essays and experiment write-ups. The study conducted with 500
teachers reveals many interesting fact. Teacher believed that these sites shaping
student’s attitude. The report concludes that the children with the poorest grades at
school are the ones who spent most time on social networking. Unfortunately, 58 percent
of teachers believe mobile phones and computers are responsible for children being
unable to spell as well as previous generations. And 54 percent say children can’t write
as well as they should because they are more used to keyboards and touchpads.

LOCAL STUDIES

Social Media Constructs, Destructs

In past Philippine presidential elections, the art of destruction was so intense it left a
bad taste in the mouth. Some of the accusations were

true, but most of them were simply speculative and false. On television today, one can
see saliva dripping from the corners of critics’ mouths, or the satanic fierceness in their
eyes as they demolish the target of their assassination. There is a term for today’s head-
hunting bloggers: bastos. The truthful journalist’s weapon against charges of false and
malicious reporting was – and possibly continues to be – libel. One must be proven
without a doubt that he was out to malign the subject, and a sane court, analyzing the
facts of the case and finds the respondent not guilty, will throw the petition out of the
window. Such is the case with social media. It can be used to prop up or destroy an
individual and/or commercial product. And who is to distinguish the truth and falsehood
of social media reporting? Imtiaz Ali of TechMead writes of the positive effects of social
media, mainly that social networks helping businesses in a variety of ways.

Traditional marketing mediums such as the radio, TV commercials and print ads are
completely obsolete now and demand for thousands of dollars,” he writes. “However,
with social media the businesses can connect with their targeted customers for free, the
only cost is energy and time. Through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other social
site you can lower your marketing cost to a significant level. 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
network 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 the everyday life.”
Karen Fraxier, public relations specialist, writes that social media “has changed the way
people interact. In many ways, social media has led to positive changes in the way
people communicate and share information; however, it has a dark side, as well. Social
networking can sometimes result in negative outcomes, some with long-term
consequences.” Social media is a rising trend in the world today. Communication skills
are exemplified by the use of social media networking. Social media networking allows
for a communication outlet. Social media is being utilized by students, parents,
businesses, and religious organizations. It is being used in many forms by many
different platforms for many reasons

According to the Merriam-Webster, social media are forms of electronic communications

through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal
messages and other content such as videos. Over the course of several years, social
media has changed dramatically. Because of social media, people today can exchange
ideas, feelings, personal information, pictures and videos at a truly astonishing level.
Social networking is one of the most active web-based activities in the Philippines, with
Filipinos being declared as the most active users on a number of web-based social
networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. The use of social media
has become so extensive in the Philippines that the country has been tagged as “The
social networking capital of the world,” and has also become part of Filipino
cyberculture. The effects of these social media can be considered positive but also has
some negative consequences. It increases student collaboration, improves participation,
content rich resources and they are useful for team projects. These sites have also
caused some potential harm to society. The students become victims of social networks
more often than anyone else. This is because when they are studying or searching their
course material online, they get attracted to these sites to kill the boredom n their study
time, diverting their attention from their work and they are more likely to drink and use
drug. At present, whether social media is favourable or unfavourable, many students
utilize these sites on a daily basis. As social media sites continue to grow in popularity it
is our belief

that technology is a vital part of today’s students’ success equation (Wang, Chen &
Liang, 2011). Many researchers have been looking into a considerable amount of
research on how social media influences student academic performances at colleges.
Many parents are worried that their children are spending too much time on Facebook
and other social media sites and not enough time studying.

RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The Grade 12 students of Eastern Samar National Comprehensive High School are the
subject of this study.

SAMPLING PRODECURE

 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the findings of the study based from the gathered data and
results. Through the use of these findings, the conclusions and recommendations are
made which hold a sufficient amount of proof to be considered effective.

SUMMARY

This study has the goal to clarify the effects of Social media to the Academic
Performance of Grade 12 Students of ESNCHS, S.Y 2021-2022.

This goal has been attained by making use of a questionnaire which illustrated the
perceptions of grade 12 students regarding their personal beliefs on the effects of social
media towards their academic performance. The questionnaire was made in the form of a
checklist by which students had options to choose the answer they personally prefer.
Different questions given in the survey were made simple in order to have an easy
transaction or communication process with its respondents. Directions were stated
clearly and surveys were successfully submitted. After conducting a survey . Which has
been carefully examined by the expert teacher, the gathered data was tallied and results
were made clear or categorized.

In treatment of the data, the study used the methods of Frequency Count and Percentage
Open Coding. These methods illustrated the majority answers made by the respondents
which clarified the current effects of social media onto the specified student group.

CONCLUSION

Based on the findings of the study, the following statements have been concluded to
answer the following questions:

1. What are the positive and negative effects of social media to the academic
performance of grade 12 students of ESNCHS?

2. What are the social factors that causes the students academic performance result to
poor class performance?

3. How can social media help the grade 12 students of ESNCHS to improve their class
performance?
The following are the conclusions made in the study which have sufficient amount of
data to be proven true:

 Social media has both positive and negative effects to students academic
performance. It only shows that there is a balance between social media and students
academic performance.

 Social media helps students to improve their academic performance but spending too
much time on it will cause lack of concentration in studying.

 The use of facebook group chats helps the students in improving their academic
performance making is easier for them to reach their group mates when they have group
projects.

 The research concluded that social media helps students with their assignments and
activities when they cannot find information on book, dictionaries, thesaurus, etc.

RECOMMENDATIONS

 Since social media sites are now the most influential on students in terms of different
aspects, the researchers recommend that the students should have the proper time
management to maintain the proper balance on school and social life in social media
sites.

 Since the academic performance of the students is one of the affected aspects of
spending a lot of time on social networking sites, students should use it in a useful way
such as reading informative blogs and posts which is credited or validated with
professionals, and also reading a useful information posted by known group or an
organization.

 The researchers recommend that students should only use social media sites when
they have free time due to the fact that spending too much time on these sites such as
facebook may cause lack of concentration when studying.

 Teachers should at least be aware in noticing whether under what situations are their
students possibly affected by social media addiction. This will help teachers understand
why some students claim to be poor in class at times due to addiction to social media
sites. We recommend teachers to consider reading this study in order to hopefully
provide additional information about the effects of social media to their students
academic performance and make the teaching of their own students about these, better.
