THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Facebook is considered as one of the most popular platforms for social media. Right
now, 1.9 billion daily users access Facebook’s platform, a 6.89% increase year-over-year.
(Brian Dean, 2022). Facebook has the highest percentage of users among all online social
networks, and the majority of these users are students from all over the world. In the age of
information not only the technologies are influencing our daily school performance, but also
they are becoming the part of our life. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and
family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to
them. (Andy Wu, 2021).
Senior High School students at Gonzalo Aler National High School were Facebook users.
Estimated number of Facebook user is about 401 and only 88 are found high performer in their
Academic Performance. Some recent research works are demonstrating the impact of Facebook
in students on the daily school performance. (Time spent in Facebook Usage) As common
notion, that over usage of this platform may link to low academic performance. Most of the
students, don’t realize the negative effects or impacts of Facebook in their lives. And, the main
reason is because they are already addicted to it. And, this addiction can lead to several negative
developments. In contrast, Moghavvemi (et.al) 2017 concluded that spending time on
Facebook has a positive effect on their academic performance, which indicated that the time
spent on Facebook did not affect their education. It is anticipated that the findings from this
study would provide clear insights on how the behavioral factors of a student affect their
academic performance.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literature
This chapter presents the literature related to the Impact of Facebook to the Daily
School Performance of Senior High School Students. Therefore, this review literature discusses
the relevant research that is useful to the objectives of this research study. This enables the
researcher to cope up with the idea, conclusions, and recommendations of the study.
Foreign
According to Sean Michael Keener (2021) Facebook is a social networking website that
was founded in February, behind Facebook was to provide an online book of faces for students
to connect and share information. At some point, it developed into a global social network for
everyone. The study’s key finding on the usage of social networking sites for learning is that it
is extremely important. The majority of well-designed research have found that using social
networking sites has little effect on students’ academic performance, and this study supports
that finding.
Facebook can give people an easy way to gain information and comprehend the
different trends in our society but it is also attached to some disadvantages that lead to severe
addiction, resulting in some difficulties that affect the emotional behavior of a student.
Arlantico (et.al) 2019. Also Facebook has been widely used among students, not only for
7
socializing, but also for educational purposes. However, it is much less clear whether
educational usage of Facebook would be differentially connected with academic achievement
of students. Sittipan Yotyodying (et.al) 2022.
Local
According to Christian Le Marjo A. Caipang (et.al) 2021, Facebook has gained much
popularity among the public primarily for interactions and for the exchange of information.
However, the extent of the benefits of this social networking platform in facilitating learning
needs to be assessed. Nevertheless, Facebook can still be used as a platform to create
awareness among students about their lesson in school and can be used as a one of the
avenues to help students who are weak academically through online tutorials
correspondences. However, despite the positive remarks coming from Facebook users, there
are still some negative comments made against this website especially questions regarding its
impact in the lives of students. Alicia V. Carreon (et.al) 2019.
Moreover Gretchen B. Chavez (et.al) 2017, Facebook addiction is not a problem
among the students, but a few of them are involved in dangerous organizations and are social
media addicts. Despite this, students' overall levels of Facebook addiction and loneliness
were modest. The association between social media addiction and high school students'
loneliness, on the other hand, is strong and supportive.

Related Studies

According to Abdelsalam H Busal (et.al) 2019, Facebook is still the most popular online
social network, several studies confirm that the excessive use of Facebook leads to addictive
behavior, especially among the younger generation. The risk factors for Facebook addiction
included a history of domestic abuse, stressful life events, sleep disturbances (i.e., more than 8
hours sleep status compared to 6–8 hours normal status), spending more than 5 hours daily
time on Facebook, and having symptoms of depression. Md Nazmul Hassan (et.al) 2020.
When compared to students who used Facebook less frequently, Facebook users scored
much higher on student involvement. The association between various Facebook usage patterns
and student involvement is moderated by motivations related to image management and social
pressure. Learning with peers received the lowest scores of all the students polled from those
who were highly motivated to manage their image and spent more time on Facebook. Eunaa
Park (et.al) 2022.
Local
According to Katherine K. Esteves (2017) Facebook is undeniably one of the most
engaging Web 2.0 tools at the moment. While it was originally conceived as a social
networking tool, this social nature also lends itself well to some of the needs of distance
education, where student engagement is difficult to sustain, because the teacher and learners
are separated by time and distance.

Moreover, Jhoselle Tus (2020) emphasize that Facebook has a great impact on students’
academic performance that embodies an essential part of the constellation of factors
determinant of student success. Facebook is the most preferred social networking site for
students to connect with family and friends. They use a long time chatting with friends rather
than doing school works. Facebook becomes their daily routine. (Abrenica, Torres, and Vargas
2021).
Synthesis
The researchers review the related literature and related studies that has been made and
it was observed that the study were more focus on Facebook impact of an individual including
the negative effects of Facebook in one individuals in the past years. According to the studies,
Facebook is a social networking website for students to connect and share information for the
purpose of learning but it is also attached to some disadvantages that lead to severe addiction
that effect the emotional behavior of a student.
The risk factors of Facebook addiction were having stressful life event, suffering from
sleep disturbance because is the spending more than 5 hour daily time on Facebook, and having
symptoms of depression. Facebook used achieved higher scores on student engagement than
those with less active Facebook use, image-management and social-pressure motivations have
different effects of using Facebook and student engagement and the students who spent more
time on Facebook has lowest ratings of all the students.

According to the studies, Facebook is one of the most social nature where student
engagement is difficult to sustain because the Teacher and learners are separated by time and
distance. Facebook has a great impact on student’ academic performance they used a long time
chatting with friends rather than doing school works.
Theoretical Framework
Theoretical Framework The theory that are might be related to our research is Flow
Theory defined by Csikzentimanlyi (1997), is the “holistic sensation that people feel when
they act with total involvement”. It implies absorption in a task, such that person is
completely attracted by the artefact and task being performed. Website, Facebook, and the
Gadgets itself are called artefacts. Facebook are used to communicate to friends and families
when they are far away. Students find Facebook as addiction whenever they are
unintentionally start using Facebook. It lead them to do multitasking and loss their focus in
one objective or task. This theory is related to our study considering that we are focusing to
that impact of Facebook to academic performance of senior high school students.

Formula:
% = (f/N) × 100
Where:
% = percent
f = frequency
N number of cases
Weighted Mean. Represent a numerical average for a set of responses or the central
value (e.g. level, extent, status, etc.)
Formula:
X = Σ(w*x)/Σw
Where:
Σ = Summation
w = the weighted
x = the value
