RESULTS AND DISCUSSION OF DATA

This chapter presents, analyzes and interprets the data gathered from the

respondents to determine the influence of social media to the academic performance of

Grade 12 students in Notre Dame of Arakan, Inc.

Table 1 presents the average mean of the respondents. Data shows that the

Senior High School respondents obtained the average mean of 86.07 with the

descriptive equivalent of Proficient level of Proficiency on student’s performance.

The result of the study was supported from the source of assessment and rating

of learning outcomes of the senior high school students, which means that the

developed fundamental knowledge and skills and core understandings and with little

guidance from the teacher and/or with some assistance from peers, can transfer these

understandings through authentic performance tasks.

 Table 2 presents the ten (10) statements about the influence of social media to

the academic performance of Grade 12 students in Notre Dame of Arakan, Inc. Data

shows that the lowest mean is 2.33 with the descriptive equivalent of disagree and the

highest mean is 3.13 with the descriptive equivalent of agree and the grand mean is 3.0

with descriptive equivalent of agree. This implies that social media have positive effect

to the academic performance of Grade 12 students in NDAI.

The result of the study supports the study of Hasnain, et al. (2015) carried out a

research to study the relationship between the use of social media and student’s

academic performance in any institutions.

The results suggest, social media has an inverse relationship with academic

performance. Social media platform used in positive manner it can help students and

youth in gaining knowledge that can be used to enhance their academic performance.
