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
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
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

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 is being 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 the research paper is to study the internet usage for non- academic
purpose and pattern of study habits among higher secondary school students of Bhopal
City. The study has showed a decline in the study habits of students due to less control
over the internet usage. The study was conducted on 200 students of class 11 th of CBE
schools of Bhopal. The method that the researchers used in random sampling method
was used to collect the relevant data from the students. The researcher’s tool to collect
the data that is related to the internet usage for non – academic purpose is the Internet
Addiction test that is developed by Dr. Kimberly Young was used. The split half
reliability of this too is 0.859 and Cronbach’s Aloha is 0.902. The questionnaire
compose of 20 questions each item is rated on a 5- point scale.
The result have indicated that the adolescent are carried away from the charm of the
internet. As a results, 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
be taken 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 get ruined by the technology.
Differential Influence of Internet on Learning Habits of Secondary School

preparation and time management. Using the T-test the data is analyze. The results of
this study revealed that the study habits of the internet users and non- users differ
significantly and non –users of the internet were found to be better than that of internet
users. They have differed significantly in the dimensions of reading text books, test
preparation, and time management. The learning habits directly reflect on one’s learning
ability and this findings helps to improve the learning habits of the students in school.
Therefore, this research suggested to promote the students less use in the internet. It is
also suggested 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 impact on
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.
“The result suggest that students with high levels of internet addiction maybe
particularly at risk from lower motivations to study, and, hence, lower actual academic
performance” said, researcher Phil Reed.
