THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter presents the introduction, statement of the problem, hypothesis, scope and
delimitation, and the significance of the study, conceptual and theoretical framework.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Modern technology nowadays is a very influential tool, it has a connection in

our daily lives as well as in our society. Technology brings a large impact on how
people live and how students study while using a different technologies. It could
bring a great support to seek an idea and find easiest way on solving their problem.
Internet could be a medium for every person to become more productive but it can
also affects the users and the study habits that every students has.
Internet is a widely use technology that can be a source of different
information in different ways. Somehow, this can also change the way the student
studies while using internet. Throughout history, people have looked for better ways
to meet their needs. It can provides different opportunities to many people around
the world. Also, internet can change the study habit of the students, on how to study
easy and fast with the use of internet. This medium become the center of education,
almost people depend and rely on the technology as well as in the internet. Many
people do not realize that technology has its negative affects society as well, and its
rapid advances have changed life for worse in a number of different ways.
Study habits is the behavior of the students when there are studying the
lessons. Study habits is very important part in the education of a students. Effective
study habits can help the students to achieve high grades and their goals in
education. But nowadays everyone affected by the internet. Different behaviors
District of Calaca
change when the students using the internet. Although this effects may lead into
positive and negative changes.
It is a general observation that the use of internet can lead to improve
student’s performance in thinking logically, problem solving, procedure and
understanding relationships (Temple and Gavillet, 1990). In this research it is true
that internet can improve the quality of education that a country has, it helps the
students to develop their skills and ideas in different fields if education. It can offers
the opportunity to learn different things, it can open the door foe wealthy information
that all people needs.
On the other hand, some researchers and media correspondents and policy
analyst argue that use of internet suppresses the capacity of brains to develop
imagination (Davis, 1989).
The research (Willis, J. 2008) shows that internet can refresh different
information in some parts of the brain. The more areas of the brain that are
activated, the more likely it is that you’ll understand and retain the information.
Because of this many people can create different things with the use of their
imaginations and with the help of internet in their life. Some of this are the ways on
how to study faster without consuming lots of time.
Some researchers says that the evolution of internet may affect the way of
students act, they cannot make any notes for their lectures because there is an
internet that they can be a source of different information. This shows that the use of
internet can lead into serious way of learning because it can really change the study
habits of the students.
People over the world can benefit from internet. Some of the behaviors we
can see are the focus of the students in the internet than in their lectures. Most of
the time all their answers are coming from the internet that can cause lack of
District of Calaca
knowledge. Other students prefer to use the internet as a guide to their studies, to
look for the different information that they didn’t really know.
Nowadays, it is widely spread of internet, whether you are a student or even
a professor, there is no exception when it comes to invention of internet in
education. The easier and fastest way the better.
In this case, not only psychological or physiological can affect by the
internet usage, it can also affects the education and the study habits of the students.
In today’s generation, students are not interested anymore in traditional style on
how to study. When the internet evolve, it shows that the study habits of the
students are affected by the modern technology.
Despite of this changes, there is a positive effects both sides of the

changes. Some of the changes are all positive, but it cannot see that when the
students getting addicted to use internet, surf to other websites and based on the
technology, they don’t have any knowledge gain.
The results of some recent study is how too much time in the screen of a
laptops or cellphones can affect the mental health of one’s individual. A new study
conducted by researchers from Swansea University sought to discover how too
much time online can affect college students’ studying habits.
“These results suggest that students with high levels of internet addiction
may be particularly at risk from lower motivations to study, and, hence, lower actual
academic performance,” said researcher Phil Reed. This research is the negative
effects of internet in the study habits of the students that can road to addiction when
there is no limit in using different media.
Those information’s can led the researchers to test and compare
between the relationship of the two variables, the effects of internet in the study
habits of Grade 12 ABM students in Calaca Senior High School. They will distribute
District of Calaca
questionnaires on some students from grade 12 ABM in order to know the specific
details in this problem. With the help of that research, we know the effects of
internet in the study habits of the students and some information that is connected
to that problem that the researchers wants to solve and to gain some answers to
their questions.

by Mukhopadhyay and Sansawak used to collect the data. The test calculated to
analyze the data with the use of S.D and C.R test. With the help of the answers of the
respondents to the questionnaires, the revealed that the non- users of the internet have
better study habits that internet users in respect to dimension wise, sex wise and stream
wise. The conclusion for this studyis based on analysis of the data, the result concluded
that internet users and internet non- users differ in study habits from each other on most
of the dimensions. The study habits of the user and non- user of internet do not have
significant difference on some dimension. The internet user show moderate levels in
respect to their study habits. They also show different levels in dimensions. Females
have better study habits than male among internet users, because they use internet for

A Study of Internet Usage and Study Habits among Students
According to (Daman Deep, 2019), the use of technology in education has
brought a paradigm shift in the education sector. The number of internet user’s increase
in manifolds. The student depend mostly on the internet that can increase rapidly in
urban as well as in rural areas. In this study, it says that internet used for academic and
non- academic purpose. There are lots of sites or resources from the internet which is
available that can helps the students enriching their knowledge. The focus and goal of

Aloha is 0.902. The questionnaire compose of 20 questions each item rated on a 5-
point scale.
The result have indicated that the adolescent carried away from the charm of the
internet. As a result, the students become addicted to the internet for entertainment.
They are unable to practice the right study habits to study the various subjects. In this
result, there is a moderate negative relationship between excessive internet usage and
study habits. It is the responsibility of the teachers, parents, and administrators to guide
and limit the students to use internet. The diagnostic test for Internet Addiction should
take to know the actual position of internet usage. Timely measures will help to direct
the students in the right part. Human beings should rule on the technology but not in
any case, human beings should ruined by the technology.
Differential Influence of Internet on Learning Habits of Secondary School
Students in Ampara District of Sri Lanka
According to (Dr. A.M Jazeel, 2019) the internet has a big impact on life of
students in Sri Lanka in number of ways. Their life style, their personal contacts, their
food habits, study habits, etc. have been changed because of the use of internet. The
present study attempts to find out the influence of the internet that can control and affect
District of Calaca

schools in Ampara district of Sri Lanka. The sampling method tool they used to collect
the data in the study is the Learning Skills Inventory. This tool covered the dimension of
learning habits of the students: reading textbooks, note taking, studying, memorization,

this research suggested promoting the students less use in the internet. It suggests that
the students need to limit themselves to use internet to have making an effective
learning habits.
2.2 Review of Related Literature

A recent study choose to investigate and look at the effects of problematic internet
use on motivation for studying, anxiety, depression and loneliness. Many previous
studies looking in how the internet affects the study habits produced mixed to determine
academic performance, many capture the entire story. The team of researcher from
Italy give a suggestion about motivations for learning may be more directly affected by
the problem of using internet and because of this it can creates the potential detrimental
effects in all learning situation, whether or not GPA scores are involved. Nevertheless,
the researchers suggest that, given their findings, academic institutions may decide to
promote some strategies to reduce the use of internet not only in the students. It may
become beneficial, the authors continue to consider whether there is an increase with
the use of technology as a communication aid between students, may instead influence
academic performance negatively, by Maor Bernstein.
Based on the recent studies the researchers explored hot too much time in front
of screens can affect young people’s mental, a new study conducted the researchers
Swansea University sought to discover how too much time online can harm and affect
the study habits of college students. The researchers found that excess time on the
internet cannot only highlighted the anxiety for students, but it can also make them less
likely to study for exams or make the effort to connect in any course material that is use
internet.

particularly at risk from lower motivations to study, and, hence, lower actual academic
performance” said, researcher Phil Reed.
2.3 Synthesis
The researchers believe that each literature and studies stated in this research are
similar on the present study and relates based on the flow of their analysis from the
proposed study and have differences.

III. The created questionnaire was checked and validated by the adviser of the
researchers to make sure that it was prepared thoroughly.
IV. Questionnaires were distributed to 119 grade 12 ABM students in Calaca Senior
High School. Participants were giving an enough time to respond and then the
researchers collected the questionnaire after respondents finished answering the
questionnaire.
V. The result was tabulated by the researchers. They used weighted mean and analysis
of variance in analyzing the result
3.7 Statistical Treatment
Weighted mean was applicable to the options of different weighs like what is used in a
rating scale. Weighted mean is a measurement of central tendency. It represents the
average of a given data. It is quiet similar to arithmetic mean or sample mean. To obtain
the result of the questionnaire given to 119 chosen respondents or the chosen students
from grade 12 ABM in Calaca Senior High School, researchers decided to get the
weighted mean. The formula of the weighted mean is:
x́=
∑ fx
∑f
Where:
x́= weighted arithmetic mean

×= weight of an answer
f= frequency of each weight
fx= product of weight and frequency of each weight
∑ f = sum of all respondents

∑ fx= sum of all products of the weight and the frequency of each weight
To determine the significant difference between the internet and the habits of G12 ABM
students, F-Test (Analysis of Variance) would be used by the researchers. The formula
of F-Test is:
District of Calaca
MSB
F=
MSW
Where:
F= the result of the F-test
MSB= Mean Square Between
MSW= Mean Square Within
Proposed Activity
This research represents a problem about “The Effects of Internet in the Study
Habits of Grade 12 students in Calaca Senior High School S.Y. 2020-2021”. It
contains a chapter 1-3 information about the problem.
We all know that internet plays a huge role in today’s generation, especially in this
time of pandemic. Education now is very different from before, it focuses on how the
District of Calaca
students learned in other ways. With the help of internet students, continue to learn, and
explore about the different knowledge found in different websites. However, some of
this websites is no longer a relevant one becoming a source of information. As a
researcher, I know that all students are using internet and most of them cannot control
their selves in playing games and using social media than studying.
This research investigated, to help the students informed how internet affect their
study habits and what is the negative and positive effects of this to them in terms of
gaming and social media. As the result of this research, it says that most of the Grade
12 students in Calaca Senior High School did not have enough time to study because of
internet. In addition, some of them are getting information that is not true or good
enough because of some edited websites. Moreover, they gained different information
in surfing in the internet but it is important to read and explore before you share it to
other people. Especially in this time of pandemic, the education is focusing using the
internet because of the virus, so it is difficult to get some relevant information in this way
of education.
With this problem, I decided to propose an activity, which is “Youth Seminar”.

The researcher conduct a seminar about the importance of internet in the studies of
G12 students in Calaca Senior High School and the positive and negative of this in their
studies. This activity will contribute in the research problem to lessen the negative
effects of the internet in the studies. This activity really help the students to enlighten
their mind on what is their priority, and they can get different websites that is worth to
visit, they can get a good information that can help the studies of the students.
