PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Today the world’s greatest achievement is technology.
Technology is directly proportional to our imagination and possibilities.
If our greatest achievement is technology, then technology’s greatest
achievement is communication. Making the world a smaller place for
those who want to connect from great distances. Communication has
come in all shapes and sizes. It has greatly evolved as time goes by.
From letters to telegram to cellular phones. Today our greatest form of
communication is social media.
The explosive growth of Social Media has provided millions of
people the opportunity to create and share content on a scale barely
imaginable a few years ago. Massive participation in these social
networks is reflected in the countless number of opinions, news and
product reviews that are constantly posted and discussed in social site
such as Facebook, Digg and Twitter, to name a few. Given this
widespread generation and consumption of content, it is natural to
target one’s messages to highly connected people who will propagate
them further in the social network. This is particularly the case in
Twitter, which is one of the fastest growing social networks on the
Internet, and thus the focus of advertising companies and celebrities
eager to exploit this vast new medium.
Social media has taken a large part of our daily lives. It has the
home of teenagers, probably the thing they can live. Waking up in the
morning the first thing we look for is our cellular phones. What app do
we open first? Of course, it maybe Facebook, instagram, twitter and
etc. some people lives are practically composed of using social media.
Using the comfort room we use our phone, while we eat, while we
commute and many more. Some people use it in a good purpose like
studying, research etc. The main reason of having it is too able to learn
new things. New things that can help you to your living. With the use of
social media the Grade 10 – Excellence students of Holy Child
Academy- London Drive can learn many words that you can’t find in
the dictionary.
By using social media, we can learn a lot of things that we can
use in our studies. Researching is one of the most important uses of
social media to our studies but social media can also be the most
addictive hindrance to our studies.
Our study will focus on the positive and negative influence of
social media to the academic performance of Grade – 10 Excellence
(Holy Child Academy- London Drive). This study will concentrate in
giving information to the students about social media and the effect of
it to the students.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The purpose of this study is to determine how the social media
is being helpful to our academic performance and how it changes the
aspects or perspective of the Grade 10 – Excellence Batch 2017-2018

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
In this chapter, readings and findings of some studies are both
foreign and local that have implications on this study are presented in
this chapter.
LITERATURE
This chapter includes the review of related literature and studies
that conducted in the Philippines and foreign.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
Berlin (2018) although many parents may be worried that the
rise of social media is distracting children from their studies, new
European research suggests that using sites such as Snapchat,

15
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY
Facebook, or Instagram has a minimal effect on academic
performance. Carried out by researchers from the University of
Bamberg, Germany, the new study set out to clarify whether social
media does in fact have a negative impact on school grades, looking at
59 studies that included more than 30,000 young people worldwide.
“There are several contradictory single studies on this subject and this
has made it difficult previously to properly assess all results,” explained
co-author Caroline Marker says. Although some studies report that
social media has a negative impact on school performance, others
show a positive influence, while some have failed to find any
relationship at all. In the new review the team found that as they had
expected, students who used social media intensively to communicate
to their peers about school-related topics actually tended to have
slightly higher, not lower grades. In addition, they found that those who
were particularly active on social media did not spend less time
studying. However, those who used social networking sites very
frequently, regularly post messages and photos, did have slightly lower
grades, although the team stressed that the negative effect is very
16
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY
small. Those who used social media while studying or doing homework
grades, although the team stressed that the negative effect is very
small. Those who used social media while studying or doing homework
also had slightly worse grades than students who didn’t use the sites,
possibly because this form of multi-tasking distracted students from
their work. Commenting on whether social media could be causing the
slight decrease in grades, or whether students who already have lower
grades are more easily drawn to the distraction of social media, co-
author Professor Markus Appel commented that, “We cannot answer
this question. Both directions of cause and effect are possible, but they
are not very pronounced.”
Abir S. Al-Harrasi (2014)the use of social networking by college
students has become increasingly relevant to their academic lives.
Smartphones have added great potential by enabling an increase in
the use of social networking and in the number of hours spent on such
sites.Being online for a long time and being able to access different
information from different sources at the same time could cause

information overload. Students could face problems in filtering the
information they receive and they might find it difficult to decide which
sources they can trust and, therefore, which to select.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of social
networking on college students. To achieve this aim, the research
employs various methodologies which include descriptive/interpretive
studies of the literature and previous studies carried out by academics
and industrial institutions. It also utilizes surveys taken among
university students. A questionnaire was distributed among 179
students at different universities and higher education institutes in the
Sultanate of Oman in order to explore the influence on college
students of social networking using their smartphones. There are three
main findings: college students spend a long time on social networking
sites, college students are facing problems in trusting, filtering, and
selecting all the different information accessed from social networking
sites, and social networks affect students in both positive and negative
ways. The younger generation discussed in this research paper are
school students between the ages of 12 to 19 years old. A few of the
platforms they use are Facebook, YouTube, Google, and many others
that will be discussed in the findings of this research. The younger
generations are the individuals that will lead our world in the future,
they must be well educated to be able to impact this world and make
Egypt a better country on the road to success. Therefore, research
must be conducted about the different things they are exposed to, that
may affect them negatively or positively. This research aims to assess
the frequency at which the students are social networking, and whether
it has any effect on their academic performance. If there is an impact
on their academic performance, in what way does it affect it? All these
questions will be answered through this research paper. This research
aims at measuring the impact of social media on the younger
generation’s academic performance; therefore, this paper is structured
in the following order: the literature review outlining previous research
conducted on university students and high-school students outside of
Egypt. Following with the research methodology and the results
obtained from the distribution of the questionnaires; followed by the

discussion that will answer the suggested hypotheses of the paper.
The final part will be the conclusion and the limitations of this study.
According to Abir S. Al-Harrasi and Ali H. Al-Badi (2014) the use
of social networking by college students has become increasingly
relevant to their academic lives. Smartphones have added great
potential by enabling an increase in the use of social networking and in

According to Murad Ali (2017) one of the authors Technology
strengthens learning and dominates over the conventional methods in
too many aspects. Technologies are advancing learning procedure by
their multiple formats, variety of resources, numerous delivery
channels and not restricted to time space and place. Social media is a
new form of communication that transformed the entire landscape of
information access and dissemination online. This platform consists of
a range of communication channels, considerably popular among
students and assists them in various types of communication and
collaborative learning. However, the platform of social media can also

.
be considered as a source of distractions and divert student’s attention
from learning and academic achievements. The principal objective of
the current study is to understand the recent trends of social media
use, the phenomenon of distractions and factors out convincing
students for the academic use of social media. Interviews administered
to enquire the phenomenon and analyzed with the help of ATLAS-Ti-7
and MS Excel. It is concluded from the results that individual
psychological characteristics, social influences, information quality and
system usefulness are the leading factors. Furthermore, the survey
established the importance of this platform for academic purposes and
perception concerning the phenomenon of distraction. In addition,
future research directions and study limitations are discussed.
FOREIGN STUDIES
Dr. Ismail Nizam (2016) According to the outcome, students’
academic performance is affected the more they use Facebook. Social
platforms are mainly used by students for socializing activities rather

than academic purpose. In addition said that majority of students feel
that social platforms have positive impact on academic growth. In a
different research conducted by Shana it was ascertain that students
use platforms mainly for chatting and making friends. ‘’The
consequences of internet and social platforms on students’ academic
growth’’ a study than by Young it was seen that internet has spread its
wings to reach teenager’s school life. It was also observed by Young
that students are more dependent on internet to access info that
pertain their academic life as well as entertainment. Additionally,
Young said that internet, though take a lot of time, and have less
impact on studies. It was observed by Wang that impact of social
platforms rest on the degree of usage. Jeong observed that
internet addiction is significantly and negatively related to students’
academic growth, as well as emotional attributes. Seo confirms Jeong
statement when he opined that the negative influence of internet is
only on excessive users and not on all users .Rather avers that: the
social platforms which are being used today with great desire and
23
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY
enthusiasm have altered the way of using internets in this modern age
by defining online tools and utilities which allow users for
communication, participation and collaboration of information online.
Today’s young generation, especially teens and youth are using
technology through innovative ways due to which they are referred to
as millennial and have changed the way they think, work and
communicate even though they are in formative years of their life.
Today’s youth because of social platforms have become technology
addicts and are quite withdrawn. The use of social media among
students has reached high levels and has affected their study time,
poor grammar and wrong spellings when socializing on social media
as well as diverting their attention from their studies. Students spend
much of their study time on social networks than in their academic
undertakings and it has affected their Grade Point Average.
Investigation on impact of social media was done here in Malaysia
which focused on student’s academic performance in tertiary institution
just a few research has been done so far in the tertiary institution
pertaining this topic and the researcher’s respondent were information
technology students.
Hira Hasnain (2015) one of the authors says that several
research studies have been conducted across the world examining the
effect of social media on the academic performances of students. Up
to our knowledge, only a handful of studies have been conducted in
Pakistan on this issue. Previous researches were mostly based on one
social networking site such as Facebook. A research was done by
Madge, Meek, Wellens and Hooley based on the universities in the
U.K. The study showed negative relationship between Facebook and
the academic performance of students. However, the study didn’t focus
on which students were using Facebook and what time of the day they
used it the most. Moreover, the sample used for the study was
homogenous thereby restricting their research findings.

Another research by Asdaque, Khan and Rizvi was conducted
on 100 undergraduate students of two federal universities in Pakistan.
The research focused on the use of internet and its effects on
academic performance. The results suggested a negative relationship.
However, the study was carried out in the same cultural environment
and within the same city; therefore it did not identify which social
networking sites were being used. Moreover, it did not highlight at what
time of the day it was being used the most which resulted in poor
academic performance among students. Further work on this area
comprises of a study conducted by Bashir, Mahmood and Shafique at
one of the university in Pakistan which focused on the internet usage
by undergraduates, graduates and post graduate students. The study
analyzed a sample of 300 users and the analysis assessed the
relationship of internet with experience, frequency and places of 2nd
internet usage. The results suggested a positive relationship among
students and internet usage, and 63 percent of the total students
mentioned that they used internet regarding academic related work

only. Nevertheless, this study only focused on internet usage rather
than specific impact of social media on academic performance.
Majority of these studies were carried out at least 5 years ago. As the
time passed, the use of social media has increased. Therefore, more
extensive study is required to critically analyze this situation.
LOCAL LITERATURE
Rejie D. Astodello (2016)says people all over the world have
been enjoying the benefits of using technology nowadays. In the past,
communicating and free sharing of thought between people are
restricted by long distance, race, and even religion. But now these
barriers can no longer stop the flow of information and knowledge
because now the new world of social networking allows free sharing of
thoughts through online social networking sites such as Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, and the like. 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 new friends and comment on other people’s
lives, and they can even create other online freedom to do whatever
they want – they can upload or download data, they can make
identities the real world does not allow. It has been observed too that
the majority of the students nowadays, particularly those in the
secondary level, spend most of their time chatting with their
acquaintances, playing online games, and watching videos instead of
reading their lessons, making their assignments, and other academic
requirements. The main reason is when they work or search their
materials online they get attracted to social networking sites to kill
boredom during study time, diverting their attention from their work.
The darker side of this that has gained the attention of many parents is
that some students are getting lazier and are no longer interested in
going to school. This is probably due to being extensively indulged to

28
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

get globe access and therefore leading them to perform less
academically.
I have observed from my Grades 7 and 8 students at the Tabuk
City National High School the same positive and negative impact of
using social media inside and outside the classroom. I found these
social sites helpful when one time I needed to communicate with my
students, reminding them of their assignments and urgent
requirements. In addition, l also used these social sites to refer my
students to helpful resources that could fetch those higher grades in
academics. I tried to encourage the students, particularly the teens with
gadgets having internet facilities, to use it to supplement their researches in
the library rather than the usual chatting with friends all the time.
29
Alexander S. Gudia (2017)According to the Merriam-Webster,
social media are forms of electronic communications through which
users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

messages and other content such as videos. 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 on 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
favorable or unfavorable, 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
30
not enough time studying.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

Mike Moran, Jeff Seaman and Hester Tinti-Kane, for a long
period of time believed that the term social media does not have a
clear definition, however, when one platform emerged, that gave
people an opportunity to be content creators, controllers and
transparent users, to a great extent. Once this content is shared, it
becomes a conversation, because all users who have accounts on
social media platforms can interact with all posts (Moran, Seaman and
Tinti-Kane, 2011). Social Networking is “the act of engagement,” while
social media is the tool used to communicate with mass audience
(Hartshorn, 2010). Social Media is the platform that give individuals the
opportunity to interact, using two way communication; meaning, that
anyone who has online accounts can share their opinions with other
social media users. There are two types of social media users; digital
natives and digital immigrants. Digital natives are the ones who were
born after 1980, they came to this world when the digital media
existed. However, digital immigrants are the ones who were born
31
before 1980 and adapted their lives to digital media (AntonSon and
Christopher, 2014). Social media platforms vary from Web blogs, to
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

micro-sharing platforms, to lifestreams to social networks and much
more (AntonSon and Christopher, 2014). The younger generation
discussed in this research paper are school students between the ages
of 12 to 19 years old. A few of the platforms they use are Facebook,
YouTube, Google, and many others that will be discussed in the
findings of this research. The younger generations are the individuals
that will lead our world in the future, they must be well educated to be
able to impact this world and make Egypt a better country on the road
to success. Therefore, research must be conducted about the different
things they are exposed to, that may affect them negatively or
positively. This research aims to assess the frequency at which the
students are social networking, and whether it has any effect on their
academic performance. If there is an impact on their academic
performance, in what way does it affect it. All these questions will be
answered through this research paper. Social media has been utilized
32
in so many different ways throughout the years. Egypt is known to be
one of the heavy users of social media, specifically Facebook. It
dominates 25% of the total MENA region, having almost 11 million
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

users, even though the penetration rate is only about 13%. In the first
six months of the year 2012, Egypt had an additional 1,608,420 users
on Facebook, which is the highest number in the MENA region. Luke
Richards stated that 46% of Egyptian social media users believe that
social media has great influence in empowering them to change their
country (Richards, 2012).
According to Dr. Anthony Curtis, in 2014, there is about 1.28
billion Facebook users and 255 million Twitter users, 55 million of the
Facebook users and 3.7 million of the Twitter users are from the Arab
world (Curtis, 2013). This research aims at measuring the impact of
social media on the younger generation’s academic performance;
therefore, this paper is structured in the following order: the literature

review outlining previous research conducted on university students
33
and high-school students outside of Egypt. Following with the research
methodology and the results obtained from the distribution of the
questionnaires; followed by the discussion that will answer the
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

suggested hypotheses of the paper. The final part will be the
conclusion and the limitations of this study.
LOCAL STUDIES
Dharel P. Acut (2016) one of the authors says that this study
was carried out to determine if the students’ academic performance is
affected by their Internet usage. The study was conducted among
three hundred eighty six (386) undergraduate students within
Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology. The
researchs framed a structured interview and a questionnaire yearning
to gather all the information needed. The data collected from the
respondents pointed out that there was no significant relationship
34
between the respondents’ academic performance and their Internet
usage. Findings of the study also reveal that there was no significant
relationship between the respondents’ academic performance and the
place where they have accessed the Internet. Another finding shows
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

that there was no significant relationship between the respondents’
academic performance and their purposes in using the Internet such
as for Gaming, Social Networking, News, and Entertainment. There
was, however, a significant relationship between the respondents’
academic performance and their usage of Internet for academic
purposes. From the results, the researchers recommend that
Educators may encourage students to use the Internet by giving them
assignments, projects, and online quizzes.
Jee Y. Geronimo (2015) The Internet may be a distraction to
many, but one study shows most Filipinos believe that increasing
usage actually has good influence on education. The Philippines a

phenomenal technological evolution in the world of Web applications.
35
These sites are widely used throughout the world connecting millions
of people simultaneously. The study of Ahmed et al. (2011) found that
the first official Social Networking Site is Classmates.com that was
founded in 1995. The purpose of its creation was to provide the
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

students a means of social connection during or after their degree
completion.
The study of Jabr (2011) found that SNSs are making a
tremendous effect nearly in every aspect of life. In fact, it had shifted
as a tool for extending academic learning and communication. SNSs
are web-based application that allow individuals to create profile and
share information with friends within the system. This “SNSs
phenomenon” had permeated on the students and became the latest
online avenue for social interactions, as well as academic interaction.
Every technological innovation has been a center of research attention
and same is the case with the development and evolution of Social
Networking Sites. Some noted researchers have conducted studies to
36
find the several impacts of SNSs on their users, and they have arrived
at mixed conclusions. For example, the study of Suhail and Bargees
(2006) found that excessive usage of Social Networking Sites causes
many psychological, physical, interpersonal, and educational problems
to users. A number of studies have also been conducted to delineate
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

the impact of Social Networking Sites on young generation and
students.
Ellison (2007) proposed that young people compete on the
basis of their efficiency regarding the use of Social Networking Sites
and the criterion of this competition is the number of friends one can
accumulate using these sites. As shown in the study of Choney (2010)
due to the increased popularity of SNSs, economists and professors
are questioning whether grades of students are being affected by how
much time is being spent on these sites. Essentially, the environment
and other factors may affect the way a student views learning and
studying. Truly SNSs are one of the factors that can affect student’s
time, insight, and outlook about learning and studying. With the
37
prevalence of SNSs, the study of Karpinski and Kirschner (2010)
validated that students’ study time and their academic performance
could be affected.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

Moreover, the study of Karpinski (2009) shows that users who
spend more time on SNSs like Facebook spend less time in studying.
Hence, school authorities are one of the primary people who oppose
it’s use particularly in schools, which is the reason why they usually
ban it during class hours. The teachers and administrators are likewise
affected because of this negative implications. Many schools have
opted for strict restrictions on SNSs usage in campuses amid concerns
about safety, privacy and confidentiality, and lack of knowledge about
how best to ensure it’s appropriate use.

The study of Lewis et al. (2008) found out that the influence of
38
these SNSs continues to get increasingly more pervasive, making
actual and virtual realities almost indistinguishable. Students are
talking about the social networking related stuffs almost every single
day; thus it would be a surprise if any student never got involved with
Facebook, Twitter or any other SNSs nowadays. Moreover, students
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

are paying more attention towards these social networking activities
rather than utilizing their time to study which will surely affect their
academic performance.
The research of Karpinski (2009) found that SNSs specifically
Facebook usage is negatively correlated with Grade Point Averages
(GPAs) of its users. She observed that the GPAs of non-users is
relatively higher than the users of these sites. Also, the study found
that 68 percent of students who used Facebook had a significant lower
GPA than those who did not use the SNSs. But the most interesting
finding was that 79 percent of Facebook users denied having any
39
adverse impact of this usage on their GPAs. It means that they are not
aware of the fact that networking habits affects their academic
performance.
Hence, their academic performance must be managed
efficiently without losing sight of all the factors that can positively or
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

negatively affect their educational performance. For instance,
Facebook has a phenomenal impact in the amount of influence and
increasingly has a large percentage of users in schools. A study
conducted by Quant Cast (2007) found out that 46 percent of SNSs
users like Facebook are 18-34 years of age, which actually permeate
to current students, prospective graduate students, and young alumni.
On the other hand, 27 percent are within the range of 12-17 years old,
which belong to undergraduates. With the above discussion, the
researcher strongly argues that it is very important for teachers and to
Lyceum of the Philippines University– Laguna (LPU-L), to study the

study the effects of SNSs in students’ academic performance.
40
Academic institutions could initiate programs and formulate learning
objectives that would help manage and organize learning on how
student could maximize study time in connection with SNSs usage.
This study was conducted to assess the level of student
involvement in SNSs usage, and determine the positive and negative
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

effects of these SNSs in student academic performance. The
descriptive results of the study would then lead to using SNSs as an
excellent tool in enhancing student academic performance and not a
hindrance in academic learning.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The conceptual framework of the study is presented in Figure 1
The INPUT of the study is composed of the demographic profile
of the respondents, what are the reasons why they use the social
media apps, do they think that these are hindrances to their studies,
what do they get from using informal words form social media, how
long do they use social media per day and does the respondent read
42
the dictionary in free/available time.
The PROCESS section is where the inputs of this study is
analyzed, evaluated and interpreted. We can get some information
coming from the questionnaire provided by our group- The data
gathered were presented in a table form which consists the input and
the information answered by the students. We’re going to prove that all
information gathered in our documentation is based on the reactions
and opinions of the respondents.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

The OUTPUT is based on the result of the study. Where we can
see the effects of social media to the vocabulary of Grade 10 –
Excellence students of HOLY CHILD ACADEMY- London Drive.
Future researchers also the researchers will know the result of the
documentation so that they can make a move to reduce the
problem. Feedback helps us to show the direct flows of the diagram in
which the input, process, and the output are related results of study.
Our reflection to the problem is difficult and interesting.

RELEVANCE OF THE REVIEWED LITERATURE AND STUDIES TO
THE PRESENT STUDY

All of the information taken from the related literature and
46
studies both foreign and local is relevant to the present study, in the
sense that they are all about the effects of slangs to the students. It
can help us to have an impression about the significant features of the
matter; know the data sources that other researchers have used;
distinguish the connection between thoughts and other information;
consider opinions for further consideration; resolve how you can avoid
yourself from repeating any errors that have been recognized in
previous work; create our own reading, critiquing strategy and
commenting cleverly to the positive and negative Influence of Social
Media to the Academic Performance of Grade 10 – Excellence Batch
2017-2018 of Holy Child Academy- London Drive.
Paul Kerswill (2010) professor of Sociolinguistics at Lancaster
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

University is studying street language in London. He says an entirely
new dialect is emerging.

"Young people are growing up with a new form of composite language.
47
It's a bit cockney, a bit West Indian, a bit West African, with some
Bangladeshi and Kuwaiti - and it seems to be replacing traditional
cockney."
This "multicultural English" is now the ordinary way of speaking
for many young people, he says. Instead of just using it to be cool or to
fit in with peers, they use it when they speak to everyone.
And those who use it are losing any sense of "appropriacy" - the
important skill of turning it on and off in different situations.
Actress Emma Thompson says young people make themselves
sound stupid by speaking slang outside of school. But while the use of
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

the word "like" might annoy her, it fulfils a useful role in
everyday speech.
"That's, like, so unfair."

One response to Emma Thompson's comments likely to trigger 48
a rush of steam from her ears.
The Oscar winner has spoken out against the use of sloppy
language. She says people who speak improperly make her feel
"insane" and she criticises teenagers for using words such as "like"
and "innit".Language experts are more understanding of teen culture
than Thompson, pointing out the word's many uses. It is the
unconventional uses that are probably getting the actress hot under
the collar.

METHODS OF RESEARCH AND PROCEDURES

The discussion of this portion of the study includes the research
49
design, sampling technique, data gathering procedure, instruments,
and statistical treatments used.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

RESEARCH DESIGN
The study employed the descriptive method of research.
50
Descriptive research is an approach which is appropriate whenever the
object of any class varies among themselves and one is interested in
knowing the extent to which different conditions obtain among these
objects. According to Manuel and Mendel (2013), Descriptive research
involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the
present nature, composition, or process of phenomena. According to
Travers and Rosales (2010), descriptive method aims to describe the
nature of the situation as it exists at the time of the study and to
explore causes of the particular phenomenon.
In this study, the researchers gathered information and data
about the history of positive and negative influence of social media and
how it affects the academic performance of the students in the Grade
10 – Excellence Batch 2017-2018.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

RESPONDENTS
51
The respondents of the survey questionnaire were Twenty-
Six (26) Grade 10 – Excellence students Batch 2017-2018 of Holy
Child Academy- London Drive.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

Calmorin (2000) defined purposive sampling technique as based on
choosing individuals as samples according to the purpose of the
researcher.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
52
In order to get significant data needed for the study, the
researchers utilized survey questionnaire as the major instrument.
After a comprehensive review of related literature, the researchers
came up with their own set of questionnaire.
The survey questionnaire has two parts: the first part aims to
identify the demographic profile of the respondents and the second
part aims to elicit responses aligned to the purpose of the study. These
are based from the researches and studies of Teale.
VALIDATION
After careful examination and construction of the questionnaire,
it was submitted to experts for face validation. The experts included a
statistician and an expert in the field of Mathematics and English.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

ADMINISTRATION AND RETRIEVAL OF INSTRUMENT

53
The researchers personally administered the questionnaire to
be assured that there will be a one hundred percent retrieval of the
instrument.
HOLY CHILD ACADEMY

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

In the research, the following statistical treatment was employed
54
in the analysis of the gathered data from the respondents:
1. Frequency and Percentage Distribution
Frequency Count- this was used to find out how many
respondents have answered each item.
Percentage- is a descriptive statistical method when a
part is compared with the other parts of the whole. The formula used
for computing percentage is:
% = f/N x 100
Where:
% = Percentage of distribution
F = Frequency response
N = Total number of respondent
2. Ranking - this was used to rank the frequency of the items,
such as 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5 etc.
