Overuse of Cellphone To Grade 12 Students A RESEARCH PAPER (Chapter 1-5)
THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
because it’s easy to carry out wherever you are, this device is called
internet that uses both Wi-fi and mobile broadband. It has its software
components known as “apps”, some apps are already installed with the
system while others are available for download from official sources like
first half of 2012. Thus, smartphone have now become an integral part of
the daily lives of many individuals. (Uichin Lee et. al. 2013)
such a big help for their academic purposes due to its fast networking
Although, smartphone also has its negative side, it has an application for
1
communication, gaming, and social media that really attracts the students
and may distract them from their school obligations like assignments,
projects, listening to the teacher and etc. These attractions and distractions
may lead to overuse of smartphone that may affect the student’s academic
performance.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
students in St. Joseph Academy; (1) long term use of social media, (2) using
smartphone for communication and (3) spending more time in gaming apps.
The researcher came up with this concept because almost all of the
grade 12 students in St. Joseph Academy are having smartphone and they
are usually using it for a couple of hours a day, they’re using it sometimes
for academic-related purposes but most of the time, they’re using it for
social media and gaming apps especially online games which can connect
to the other friends. With this habit of the students, their academic

the videos and photos, the excitement and pleasure feeling when receiving
photo you uploaded and etc. When a student sleep late at night, less hours
of sleep and less energy in school on the next day resulting to lack of
cooperation in class. While on the other hand, some of the students are fan
of playing gaming apps offline or online, and because of that they will also
spend a couple of hours on it due to the hype and intense of the game like
clash of clan, league of legends, and mobile legends. With this kind of
activity, assignments and projects are less focused and it might be forgotten

Since students are highly motivated to using social media sites, the
majority of them use these to satisfy their social needs more than their
academic needs. They have the freedom to do whatever they want – they
can upload or download data, they can make new friends and comment on
other peoples’ lives, and they can even create other online identities that
the real world does not allow. It has been observed too that majority of the
