HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE AND INTERNET USAGE
Wesley Austin, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Michael W. Totaro, University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Findings
-Intense Internet use is 0.047 and moderate Internet use is 0.491 while light
use is lower with a mean of 0.350 – all indicating abundant exposure to the
Internet. Approximately eight percent of students attend private schools. Fathers are
less likely to be present in the household than are mothers and the proportion of parents
that always help with homework is also quite high (0.54). Caucasians comprise
approximately 63 percent of the sample, African Americans about 14 percent,
while non-white Hispanics and Asians account for about 15 percent and three
percent, respectively. About one third of students Journal of Economics and Economic
Education Research, Volume 12, Number 1, 2011 report being in excellent health,
with 41 percent reporting good health, and a large proportion
(0.651) state that religion influences decision making.

RELATIONSHIP OF STUDENTS’ INTERNET USAGE AND ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE
Dharel P. Acut, Mark Joshua C. Carpo, Jun Karren V. Caparoso, Joy R. Magsayo,
Virginia A. Sombilon

FINDINGS
-There are ninety nine (99) male respondents which comprise 25.65% of the total
population, and two hundred eighty seven (287) female respondents which comprise
74.35%.Since the respondents were chosen randomly, it only implies that there are more
female undergraduate students than male in the university where the study was
conducted. Most of the respondents fall within the ages of 17 – 19 with a combined
percentage of 72.9%. Of this, 27.4% are 17 years old, 24% are aged 18, and 21.5% are
aged 19. This implies that the respondents’ age fall within the expected age bracket of
college students.

Of all the respondents, there are two hundred thirty three (233) respondents
which comprised 60% who said they always used the Internet and one hundred thirty
nine (139) which comprised 36% said they often used the Internet while only 14
respondents which comprised 4% seldom used the Internet as shown in. It is based on
the total of 386 respondents. This finding implies that most people right now use the
Internet as part of their daily activities. The Internet is a medium for them to
communicate to their friends and disseminate the information to their colleagues.

In terms of number of hours used by the respondents, thirty three (33)

respondents which comprise 9% used the Internet for less than one (1) hour, 36% which
compose one hundred forty (140) respondents used the Internet for 1-2 hours and
ninety one (91) respondents which comprise 24% used the Internet for 3-4 hours. Sixty
eight (68) other respondents which comprise 18% used the Internet for 5-6 hours. There
are also twenty four (24) respondents which comprise 6% who used the Internet for 7-8
hours, 3% compose often (10) respondents said they used the Internet for 9-10 hours
and there are twenty respondents (20) which comprise 5% who used the Internet for
more than 10 hours. Among the interviewed students on the number of hours in using
the Internet, the respondents indicated that they browse a minimum of 1-2 hours every
time they use the Internet and chat every single available opportunity.

Internet Use among Filipino Public Highs School Students
Socorro Gultiano, Elizabeth King, Aniceto Orbeta and Prudenciano Gordoncillo

Findings
-Over 11,000 students participated in the GILAS evaluation study; 44% of them
are males and 56%, females. On the average, the boys were 15 years of age, while the
girls were14 years old. About 80% of the sample students ever-used a computer, but
only two-thirds of them have used the Internet. About 12% of students own a computer,
but less than half of these students (43%) have Internet connection in their home
computers. There are no gender differences with respect to having used a computer,
or having accessed the Internet.
There are, however, geographical differences, with those who are nearer the
National
Capital Region (in Luzon) having more access to the computer and the
Internet that those farthest from it (in Mindanao).
Bivariate analysis has shown that Internet use among third year public high school
students is positively associated with the intent to go to college, the postponement of
entry into the labor force; and preference for marriage after completion of studies. This
association holds for both male and female students. From a negative standpoint, the
use of the Internet is likewise shown to be positively associated with risk taking
behaviors, such smoking among girls (but not boys) and alcohol consumption by both
boys and girls. Ongoing analysis will employ multivariate techniques to explore
modifying effects of possible confounders (individual, family and community factors) on
these relationships. The expectation however is that these associations will persist and
that the enabling personal and social benefits of the Internet can be demonstrated
among the less advantaged group of students now enrolled in public schools. It is also
expected that there are costs to the use of this technology. Lessons for program and
policy will therefore be underscored to help avert or mitigate these costs and enhance
the benefits.

Media Usage by Filipino Students –An Empirical Survey

Ma. Mercedes RODRIGO, Ph.D., Michael GROSCH, Ph.D. & Juan Miguel ANDRES

Findings
-Of the 942 students surveyed, 56% were male and 44% were female. Their ages
ranged from 15 years to 24 years, with mean of 18 years of age.
It is interesting to note that such an age range for university students is possible in the
Philippines because basic education previously only required
10 years of education:6 in elementary and 4 in high school. So if a student began
elementary at the age of 5, he’d only be 15 by the time he entered university.
94% of the respondents were Filipino. The mean year level of the students was second
year college and in their undergraduate studies.

The respondents had high levels of skill in the use of digital media services such as
presentation software, spreadsheet, and word-processing software. They were adept at
Internet searching. In their free time, activities with highest means are Facebook,
YouTube, reading books, and watching TV. Respondents also preferred to study and do
research on their own, on their computers and over the Internet rather than at the
library or in groups.
The usage frequency and satisfaction values were used to calculate media
acceptance ranking of the surveyed media services. The questionnaire for the 53
services asked both “how often do you use the following services for study?” and “how
satisfied are you with the following services for studying?”

The results show strong inclination towards Google search and having Internet
connections at home for being most accepted media services in terms of studying,
followed by a student’s personal Notebook/Netbook, printed handouts and online
slides from teachers, and other self-learning tools and resources. More alternative
learning methods such as less used social networks, mobile phones, tablets, and mobile
applications showed very low acceptance values, receiving acceptance means
ranging from 1.50 to 2.00. The difference gaps between frequency of use and
satisfaction of the most accepted media services are very minimal, which would mean
that
ADMU students prefer using services they are satisfied with, rather than services they are
simply obliged to use

Impact of social media to student’s lives, academic performance

Rejie D. Astodello

Findings
-Almost 85 percent of them were able cope with their academic difficulties and
at least 65 to 75 percent of the class obtained the average level of
performance. However, students should be encouraged to limit the time they spend
on social media sites and be advised to rather substitute those hours with reading some
learning materials – short stories, novels, etc. to improve their vocabulary. Since the use
of social media sites had affected the academic performance of students negatively,
there is a need to introduce the students other information resources or materials that
would motivate and help them perform well in their academics.
