Chapter One Introduction 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The impact of social media (Facebook) in our personal lives has been one of the most important trends in the past decade because of its growth popularity, almost all of us now uses Facebook. Meeting or mingling with friends and interacting with other people through Facebook is becoming an integral part of modern life. These social networks may impact people's emotional states, especially students. People use social media Facebook to connect to other people who are far from them. Because of the evolution of social media, it’s much easier and convenient to use than before. Facebook can be also use to express your feeling towards someone or something. People are fascinated how they can tell their opinions using social media, usually for self-interest, entertainment, education, or even politics. Many parents are also concerned that their senior high school students are wasting time on Facebook rather than studying. Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook in 2004, and it has been one of the world's largest social networking sites with about more than 2 billion users since then. Facebook allows individuals to stay in touch with their friends, families, co-workers, schoolmates and loved ones with its advanced features. Facebook are changing the nature of social relationships. Facebook has been the tool that brings students together and have their own special motives of using. However, many students are spending countless hours every day on Facebook. Therefore, our research will evaluate and find out the impact of social media (Facebook) of the Grade 12 students in Northeastern Cebu Colleges Inc. Knowing the effect of using Facebook from the respondents will make this research successful. 1 1.2 Statement of Objectives The objective of this study is to find out how Facebook influences the academic performance of students of Northeastern Cebu Colleges, Inc. To know their total average time spent on Facebook in a day, and to examine how students manage their time on both Facebook and Academic. In addition, knowing the possible effect of Facebook in the grade 12 learners. 2 1.3 Significance of the study This study survey was conducted to the grade 12 students of Northeastern Cebu colleges Inc.

The impact of social media (Facebook) on the academic performance of grade 12 students were answered through a survey questionnaire made by the researchers. 4 Chapter Two LITERATURE REVIEW This chapter presents the gathered researches from different sources. These studies will be used as a guide and support to our research. Our related literature starts with the information about Facebook, as well as the possible effects that might affect students when Facebook and social networking is being used extensively. 5 2.1 RELATED REVIEW LITERATURE Students use Facebook to maintain their former network of high school friends and also to build and sustain bonds with new friends on their campuses (Ellison et al., 2007, 2011; Junco & Mastrodicasa, 2007). They use Facebook to initiate and maintain friendships and to seek out new information about those in their social circle (Ellison et al., 2011). The practice of social information seeking is related to student's perceived levels of social capital (the obtained from their relationships and resources interactions such emotional support (Ellison et al. as 2011). Facebook has been the most researched platform for teaching and learning (Manca & Ranieri, 2013; Tess, 2013). Manca and Ranieri (2013) discovered 23 empirical studies of using Facebook as a learning environment. Manca and Ranieri (2013) identified five main educational uses of Facebook: 1) Support class discussions and helping students engage in collaborative learning: 2) Developing content; 3) Sharing educational resources; 4) Delivering content to expose students to extracurricular resources; and 5) To support self-managed learning. They note that only four studies have examined how Facebook relates to learning outcomes and found positive impacts to learning outcomes such as improvement in English writing skills, knowledge, and vocabulary (Manca & Ranieri, 2013). Facebook has been used as a replacement for learning and course management system (LCMS) discussion boards. For instance, Hurt et al. (2012) examined student outcomes from and preferences for Facebook use. They assigned students to either use Facebook or the learning management system (LMS) in two courses. They found that the Facebook group reported better educational outcomes than the LMS group. Not only that, but they also found that 43% of the LMS said they would have users contributed more if they had used Facebook; while only 12% of Facebook users said they would have participated more with a switch to the LMS. Hollyhead, Edwards, and Holt (2012) found that students preferred to create their own Facebook groups when no of ficial-course related ones were available instead of using the LMS. Schroeder and Greenbowe (2009) found that while only 41% of a Chemistry class joined the course Facebook group, the number of posts on Facebook were, 4008 greater than on the course management system. Further-more, they reported that postings on the Facebook group "raised more complex topics and generated more detailed replies" than postings on the CMS (Schroeder & Greenbowe, 2009). Research on the relation between Facebook use and academic performance has yielded mixed re sults. Pa sek et al. (2009) found there was no relation between Facebook use and grades. Kolek and Saunders (2008) found that there were no differences in overall grade point average (GPA) between users and non-users of Facebook. Kirschner and Karpinski (2010), on the other hand, found that Facebook users reported lower GPA than non-users; additionally, a mean of Facebook users reported studying fewer hours per week than non-users (Kirschner & Karpinski, 2010). Lastly, Junco non-users (2012a) found that number of logins and time spent on Facebook were related to lower overall GPA; however, sharing links and checking to see what friends are up to were positively related to GPA. Junco (2012a) also found that there was a negative relation between time spent on Facebook and time spent preparing for class 6 2.2 Conceptual Framework INPUT General profile of the selected respondents in Northeastern Cebu Colleges in terms of the following: Demographic Profile Grade level Strand Survey Questionnaires Data GPA Hours Spent Opinions PROCESS Descriptive survey and questionnaire Pretesting of questionnaire Gathering, Analyzing and Evaluating the Collected Data 7 OUTPUT Recommendation Plan to enhance the Impact of Facebook in the Academic Performance of Grade 12 Students in Northeastern Cebu Colleges 2.3 Theoretical Framework The theoretical framework was developed by analyzing previous research of social media (Facebook) usage and its impacts on academic performance. All of the variables were identified either of the theories, models, and framework, and was selected as a theoretical framework. Two articles comprising the model, framework, and theoretical theories have been selected and used in this theoretical framework, there are two factors found based on our research on the impacts of Facebook on academic performance. The two factors are as follows: Theorical Framework about the possible negative factors: Facebook usage intensity Academic Performance Socialization Facebook's usage Intensity. There are few indicators that can be used to reflect Facebook’s usage intensity (Ellison et al 2007). In terms of time, the amount of time spent daily on Facebook’s feed varied greatly. In particular, students spent on average of 47 minutes a day on Facebook however, it was found that older students especially the senior high school students are more likely to report spending more than 10 hours online per day. The higher time they spent on Facebook equals slightly lower grades as it decreases their time on studying. (Karpinski and Kirschner 2010) Socialization. Researchers found that there is more one-on-one communication and directed communication on Facebook, through tags and sharing. Although there are large positives to Facebook, there are also relationship problems that can occur on the students (Wu&Yao, 2008). This isolates the students from reality and can reduce their need for others. Facebook breeds an atmosphere to hide from negative interactions. This can cause heavy impacts on their academic performance, the more they isolate themselves on Facebook, the more they become anti-social, not only that it also lowers the student's self-esteem and might decrease their confidence in participating in any academic activities (Hewitt & Forte). 8 Chapter Three METHODOLOGY 3.1 Research Design The research employs quantitative research design and descriptive research approach. In conducting the research, we use random sampling technique or method to gather data, and it aids us in avoiding bias in the respondent's confidential responses. 9 3.2 Context and Participants The researchers conducted this study in Northeastern Cebu Colleges, Inc. on February 7, 2022, until March 31, 2022. This study has a limited number of participants, which is a total of 25 respondents, random respondents from the sections. It is only exclusive for the Grade 12 students. 10 3.3 Instrument The main tool to be used is an online survey questionnaire it will be conducted through the use of google form. The survey is the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data from individuals. 11 3.4 Data Gathering Procedure The survey was conducted through Google survey because of the nation-wide call for selfisolation and social distancing of all citizens. The survey-questionnaire were created using Google Form software, which was used for this purpose. We researchers have chosen respondents from Northeastern Cebu Colleges students who are related and active Facebook users, particularly the grade 12 students. The respondents were given a survey-questionnaire in order for us to know their GPA, their average time they spent on Facebook and how it affects their academic performance. They were collected, transcribed and analyzed using constant appropriate quantitative data analysis techniques. The answers were collected, transcribed, and analyzed 12 3.5 Content Analysis Content analysis is the next process to do after we collected the data from the respondents. We assess the data for it to be more reliable to the media and audiences, and also to create a validation to the people and future researchers. This analysis will help us to further understand the result of the survey and to provide an interpretation and the outcome of the survey that has taken place. This is where quantitative design becomes more useful because it can make our research easier and for us to recognize the answers of the respondents and to finally interpret it. 13 Chapter Four DATA PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION This chapter presents data gathered from the survey. They were presented in barchart, analyzed, interpreted and complemented with inferences, and implications. Table 1: Data Presentation of the respondents Grade level Number of respondents 12 25 This table shows that there are a total of 25 respondents that we have surveyed through google form. The respondents are from the Grade 12, the graduating students in Northeastern Cebu Colleges Inc. 14 Responses of the General Question As the researchers scanned and analyzed the data from the questionnaires out of 25 respondents only 19 respondents, or 76% of them answered the question, and the rest did not. Here are the percentages of the students having related answers towards the question, "How do you manage your time on Social Media (Facebook) and your time on Academic?" 44% or 11 Students answered “They manage their time in both Facebook and academic by consistently following a daily routine that balances all their time, and they also said that they’re just going to balance all things, as long as they don’t spend too much time on social media (Facebook) and submit modules on time.” 12% or 3 Students answered, “They only spend all their time on Facebook after they finished all of their modules. They also said that they're going to finish all the academic activities first, and then they'r e going to binge Facebook until they fall asleep.” 8% or 2 Students answered, “They don’t think they need to manage their time on Facebook because they only use Facebook to communicate with their friends and family. They don’t really browse on Facebook that often, so for them, they don’t really mind. They only use Facebook for communication, and they don’t surf on Facebook feed, therefore they only spend a little amount of time on it.” 12% or 3 Students answered “they never manage their time on Facebook, if they feel like they have something important to do then they’ll just do the most important things first like answering their modules.” They also said that if the deadline is far then they’ll just do their activities later, but as long as they submit it before the deadlines.” 15 First Statistical Treatment 𝑛 x= x100 𝑁 Let: X be the number of total percentage of responses from the student s n be the number of students that responded the question N be the total number of respondents or students 100 be the value of conversion for a hundred percent x= x= 𝑛 𝑁 x100 19 25 x100 X = 0.76 x 100 X= 76 76% is the total percentage of responses out of 25 that answered the last question in the survey. 16 Figure 1: 1ST SEMESTER GRADES AVERAGE 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 90 or above 86 to 89 81 to 85 80 or below responses As seen in the graph above 16% of the students have the average of 90 or above. 20% have 86 to 89, 36% have 81 to 85 and 28% have 80 or below grades average. The total of the averages is 2,153. If we will divide it by 25, since there are 25 respondents the result is 86.12 or 86. 17 Figure 2: HOURS SPENT ON USING SOCIAL MEDIA (FACEBOOK) 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% over 8 hrs a day 4-8 hours 2-4 hours 1 hour or less responses As seen in the graph above 40% of the students used the internet for over 8 hours a day. 28% of the rest used internet for 4 to 8 hours, 20% used it for 2-4 hours and 12% use it for 1 Hour and less. These can be a threat to students like them. This may become a reason why they cannot immediately finish their assignments and task, especially to those students who spent most of their hours in internet or gadgets. 18 Figure 3: DOES SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME ON FACEBOOK AFFECT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE? 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Yes No responses As seen in the graph above 68% of the students responded “Yes” while 32% of the student responded “No”. Over 17 students agreed that spending too much time on Facebook does affect their academic performance, while only 8 students disagreed in the findings. 19 Table 2: Grade 12’s Grade Average 84 92 91 93 93 88 86 87 89 80 80 85 80 83 82 84 80 85 80 85 84 80 83 89 80 Total: 2,153 Average: 86.12 Table 3: Interpretation of the Average Range of Averages 90-100 86-89 80-85 75-80 Interpretation Not affected Moderately Affected Affected Badly Affected Based on the interpretation above, 86-89 is equivalent to “Moderately Affected”. This means that the students are moderately affected by the negative effects of Facebook. Furthermore, the students that are greatly affected are most certainly the ones that spent over 8 hours a day. 20 Second Statistical Treatment n/N=X Let: n as the total of the averages N as the total number of the students X as the grade 12's average 2,153/25=86.12 21 Chapter Five SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION This study was taken to find out the impact of social media (Facebook) to the academic performance of grade 12 students in Northeastern Cebu Colleges Inc. In this chapter, the write presents: summary of findings, conclusions and recommendation. 22 Summary of findings Overall, the summary of findings of our study, only 16% of students have the grade of 90 or above, another 20% that have 86 to 89, while 36% have 81 to 85 and 28% have 80 or below. 40% of the students used Facebook over 8 hours a day, 28% used it for 4 to 8 hours, and 20% used it for 2-4 hours while, only 12% used Facebook for 1hour or less. This is probably the reason why most of them cannot immediately finish their assignments and other academic activities. Furthermore, 68% of the students agreed that spending too much time on Facebook does affect their academic performance and 32% disagreed with the findings. 23 Conclusion The researchers concluded that spending too much time on social media had an impact on academic performance, based on the findings and interpretations reported in the previous chapter. The results could be seemed from the insignificance of the 12th grade students as follows: 1. The students became less focused after they spent a lot of time on Facebook 2. The students that spent a lot of time on Facebook have lower grades average compared to other students that spent less 3. The students care lesser on academic the more time they spent on Facebook As a result, it's possible that social media (Facebook) has insignificant impact on the academic performance of Grade 12 students of Northeastern Cebu Colleges Inc. 24 Recommendation Based on the conclusion above and based on the study that has been done, the researcher would like to offer some suggestions to the Grade 12 students of Northeastern Cebu Colleges, Parents and Teachers, and for other researchers as follows: For students For the students, the researchers recommend the students to be more responsible in how they use social media (Facebook) for, and have a proper time management for them to use those wasted times spent in scrolling on Facebook to instead study to have a better academic performance. The researchers really hope that in the future the students could manage their time in social media (Facebook) while not getting affected on their academic performance. So that, they can have a better goal and can get maximal result in academic performance. For Parents and Teachers The researchers recommend the parents and teachers to get a grasp about Facebook on what and how they use it, to be fully aware, connected, and understand the view of the students or youth in general to properly educate and guide them in using the application. For Other Researchers For other researchers who want to conduct the research in social media (Facebook) and it’s impacts on student’s academic performance can use the result of this research as a basic way for conducting the research and as an additional reference for further relevant research. The other researchers can also consider the weaknesses of the result from this research to conduct much better research. 25 References: Nicole B. Ellison, Charles Steinfield, Cliff Lampe (2007).
