ABSTRACT
Social media usage had increased over time. Therefore, this study discovered the effects of
social media on the study habits of the STEM students of UE Caloocan Campus.
Particularly, this study answered the following research questions including, what social
media platform/s do students frequently use for their study habits? How do social media
influences STEM students’ study habits? and how aware do the STEM students of UE
Caloocan about the impacts of social media on their study habits? The method used in the
study is a qualitative method and the approach used for this study is the phenomenology
approach. The researchers conducted an interview and survey from five grade 11 STEM
students and five from grade 12 STEM students.
As a result of the research, the researchers found out students usually used Messenger,
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail, and Google Scholar. The
preponderance of the student uses Messenger and Youtube and they consumed four to six
hours using social media. Social media frequently serves as a distraction and to the students
that leads them to procrastinate. However, upon addressing the impacts of social media,
they can still comply with their school task.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter of the paper presents the problem and its setting. It includes the
background of the study, the statement of the problem, the significance of the study, and
the scope and delimitation of the study.
Background of the Study
Over the past years, an alarming percentage of people who used social media
intensifies. A survey by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project in
late 2012, they stated that more likely to use social media are the young adult. In 2005,
only 12% of them used social media and it increases up to 90% today. The popularity of
social media became wider over the years. Social media is used to communicate, interact,
connect, learn, and build knowledge. This is a great platform for the people, especially for
the students. In advanced Internet technologies, anything can get easier. People can shop,
pay bills, find a job, find schools, and search online. People can also use social media to
share content and ideas.
The way one study is what we call their study habits. It has a big role in student’s
life. It affects the level of their academic achievement and it is a process where they gain
more knowledge. Lack of effective study habits can result in the most challenging way to
a student’s success (Mark and Howard, 2009). Attitudes towards study habits have a great
contribution to one’s academic performance. Students that procrastinate and unprepared
1
Caloocan Campus
are more likely to become anxious on exams day while the one who prepared, and studies
well are confident and relaxed while taking the test (Marc, 2011).
The researchers wanted to know the effects of social media in the study habits of
students, particularly in STEM students. As stated by the Pew Research Center survey,
51% of 13-17 years old used Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and YouTube. Teenagers use
social media sites daily that may affect their study habits. Social media has pros and cons
and too much using it can lead to addiction. The researchers conducted a survey and
interview with 5 grade 11 STEM students and 5 grade 12 STEM students at the University
of the East (Caloocan). At the end of this research, students will have the knowledge to
improve and change their attitude towards the usage of social media.
Statement of the Problem
The intent of this phenomenological study explores the effects of social media on
the study habits of the STEM students of UE Caloocan Campus. Specifically, this study
shall seek an answer to the following research questions:
1. What social media platforms do students frequently use?
2. How do social media influences STEM students’ study habits?
a. In what way do social media aids the STEM students’ study habits?
b. In what way social media serves as a distraction?
3. How aware do the STEM students of UE Caloocan about the impacts of social media
on their study habits?

Caloocan Campus
Significance of the Study
The intent of this study is to contribute and provide additional support in the field
of education, providing more information about the various effects of social media on the
STEM students. Specifically, this research will be significant to teachers, students, as well
as our government in the education field.
For the students, this study will be a way to raise awareness of too much addiction
to use social media that can affect their study habits especially the STEM students.
For the teachers, this study will serve as a bridge to help them realize how social
media influences their students as well as discovering different implications that
have been brought among the students. This study will also apprise the teachers and
create awareness among the students about the usage of social media for
educational purposes.
The government will play a significant role here as this study will help them to
spread awareness about the positive and negative impacts as well as the wrong ideas
and beliefs on what social media is all about. They can also implement such policies
so that social media can be used wisely by the students and through that, they can
improve themselves in gathering and understanding the knowledge that they have
acquired.
For future researchers, this study will be beneficial for them as this study may
serve as a guide and the ideas and results presented in this study may use as a
3
Caloocan Campus
reference in conducting research related to the topic being studied. This will also
give them brief background knowledge, or an overview of the problem presented
in the study.
Scope and Limitation
This study focused on what way does social media helpful in STEM students or in
what way it will serve as a distraction to them. Social media was made to interact with
friends and family but was later adopted in other fields, it also helps the students with there
assignments and projects, it helps in finding places or information. It can be harmful to
those who are using it too much, they may experience stress which can give negative impact
to their health, and lack of sleep, social media can be an advantage and can be a
disadvantage many ways. The study consists of STEM students because they have a lot of
things should do that deals with the use of technologies and the use of social media as well.
Researchers wanted to know the experience of STEM students with regard to using
social media. By conducting a survey and a face-to-face interview, will be able to describe
the situation and list down the possible effects of it. The sample of this study consisted of
5 from grade 11 stem students and 5 grade 12 stem students who agreed to participate in
the study. The researchers will also focus on various social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, as well as Google, and others.
However, there are limitations to this study. The researcher will not focus on the
academic performance of the students as it will change into another topic. Also, the
researchers will find it difficult to interview STEM students due to their schedules and
4
Caloocan Campus
school works resulting a lack of time in interviewing. The researchers do not also cover the
students in other strands such as ABM, GAS, HUMSS, ICT, and other strands since it only
focuses on the strand of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Chapter 2
FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY
This chapter is intended to provide information to this research and sources that
were gathered by the researchers. This chapter includes the process of reviewing existing
literature and studies that are relevant to the study. Also, this chapter includes the
conceptual framework and hypotheses that will serve as a guide in this study being
conducted.
Related Foreign Literatures
Social Media
The result of the study Kirschner and Karpinski (2010) stated that the kind of
distraction is the concern about the negative effects of social media for the students because
the teachers cannot determine who is really paying attention. Another thing is, social media
makes people addicted. People spend their time on social media which divide their
attention and concentration (as cited by Abdulahi, Samadi, & Gharleghi, 2014).
Kalpidou, Costin & Morris (2011) claimed that a relationship escalates between the
use of social media and the grades that the students acquire. They spend less time studying
and consequently, having lower grades than those students who pay less time using social
media. It affected their study time, as well as wrong spellings, and the use of wrong
grammar (as cited by Obadara & Olaopa, 2018). Furthermore, Kord (2008) asserted that
students nowadays divert their attention from their studies. Contemporary studies have
6
Caloocan Campus
been made by researchers and confirms that 80% to 90% of the students in a University
have been actively partaking in the use of social media providing evidence that leads to an
investigation in a specific area of influence which is study habits (as cited by Chris, 2015).
Social media is a part of humanity's culture (Boyd & Ellison, 2007; Hakoyama &
Hakoyama, 2011). Different studies were conducted and discovered that social media may
lead the various negative effects including anxiety, mental health problems, loss of
productivity, stress, and others. Wang et al. (2011) presented that youngsters spent less
time on preparing for their studies and take up too much time on social media like social
networking sites (SNS) affecting their study and grades negatively (Duncan, Hoekstra, &
Wilcox, 2012; Kalpidou, Costin, & Morris, 2011; Ophir, Nass, & Wagner, 2009; Wang et
al., 2011; as cited by Gok, 2016).
Study Habits
Performance is relevant in our society as it holds significance in various fields. In
education, performance is apparent and is what brings forth academic achievement and as
a result of good habits of studying. Having good study habits is beneficial and constructive
also in career and workplace actualization (Siahi & Maiyo, 2015; as cited by). According
to John (2010), bad study habits negatively affect students’ academic performance as it is
unhealthy and unproductive. Thus, not addressing the said situation can hinder progress
and development (as cited by Ebele & Olofu, 2017).

Social Media
Social media gets most of the student’s attention and concentration. It diverts them
to non-educational, iniquitous, improper actions such as useless chatting, time killing and
not doing their jobs. Since social media introduced captivating task like gaming,
advertisements etc. most people focus more on this thing. Social media addicts become a
useless lump for parents, friends and other people. They cannot be successful because they
do not possess the sense of upcoming future and tournament in their career (Tariq,
Mehboob, Asfandyar, & Ullah, 2012).
Social media has lots of impacts on the teenager's life on both ends. It can be
positive and in favor of youth's social life, but it can be negative as well to the users. It
seems like a cool tool for changing and improving people. It affects children and teens who
are growing up that media is used for interactivity, multitasking, and organization who find
their own communication patterns and tools being changed (Anthony, 2009; as cited by
Ghulam et al., 2014).
Study Habits
According to Ayodele & Adebiyi (2013), Study habits is defined as a way of
studying the students whether systematic, efficient or inefficient. Efficient study habits lead
to the success of the academic performance, While the inefficient leads to failure.
Socioeconomic status plays a big part to help the students to enhance their study habits at
all levels of education (as cited by Khan, 2016).
8
Caloocan Campus
A study made by Rabia, Tallat, Mubarak, and Nasir (2017) on the study habits of
students and concluded that weak study habits deeply affect the students’ academic
performance, it is also important that they need to have study habits so that they can
succeed in life. And after all, it doesn’t have an effect on what you are, what your cultural
race is, or what gender you are, if you need to study hard, and you have good study habits
you’ll gain high expectancy in the near future.
Related Local Literature
Social Media
Social media may affect the study habits, academic life and learning experience of
students in the wrong way. It grabs most of their attention and distracts them by using non-
educational and inappropriate action that may lead to addiction. (Kuppuswamy and
Shankar, 2010; as cited by Beronio et al., 2017). It is important to check the usage of social
media in the increasing number of users in the youth because there is the unknown effect
of it on different aspects of human life (Sheldon, 2008; as cited by Alejandrino et al., n.d.).
According to Karpinski (2009), social media, predominantly Social Networking
Sites (SNS), showed to be true that it serves as a distraction in humanity's current
generation due to the fact that most of the users -- mainly students, divert their time more
on the usage of social media rather than devoting their time studying. Consequently, having
a poor study habit and it leads to having a bad performance (as cited by Beronio et al.,
2017).

Caloocan Campus
Related Local Studies
Study Habits
News on Manila Bulletin (2011) stressed that in order for a person to have good
study habits, he/she should be effective and efficient. Effective in terms of understanding
can seize information about the subject matter and such. Efficient in terms of maximizing
the time of study in order to spend as small as possible. This led to achieving one's goal
and dream. Study Habits and academic achievement is associated with each other. Being a
book lover and being a take-down-notes person has a significant similarity in academic
achievement. Nuthana and Yenagi (2009) tell that students who are having this kind of
situation prepare more of having Academic Achievement. Fazal (2012) also proposes that
being study related person has a high chance of having academic achievement, this kind of
behavior deals in having a more specific time in learning, writing, and reading. So, it
concludes that if you have high skill in the study then you have also a high chance of having
an academic achievement (as cited by Mendezabal, 2013).
Synthesis
The relevantly related literature that has been forgathered by the researchers
examine that there are different effects of social media to the study habits of students
positively and negatively including preparing for assignments and examination, finding
new knowledge and information, to stress, anxiety, loss of production and sense of time,
and others. On the other hand, most of the related studies gathered on the utilization of
10
Caloocan Campus
social media by the students are quantitative study and measures their level of utilization
and how it is related their study habits and performance. Conversely, it lacks qualitative
studies that explore their perception as well as their experiences, and knowledge on the
students use of social media to effectively asses the effects of it on their study habits.

Figure 2.1: Conceptual Framework on the utilization of social media and how it
affects the study habits of STEM students
The figure above shows the utilization of social media by the STEM students of
University of the East (UE) Caloocan Campus and its effect on their study habits. It is
further subdivided into two categories the first one is the forms and classifications of social
media. For instance, A news article of Irish time in 2012, observed that the application
Facebook can affect the student’s study habit. The phone can easily access this application
only using WiFi. In fact, instead of the textbooks, the students hold their phone/iPad so
they can access their Facebook account. It simply means that social networking sites
especially the facebook can affect the study habits of the students (as cited by Maitem et
al., 2017). YouTube project design and development increased students’ attitude toward
learning. The judgments of participants declare high awareness of how students described
11
Caloocan Campus
their involvement with the project, their learning style and the benefits of tutorial learning
(Fralinger & Owens, 2009).
The second one is the levels of the utilization of social media and this will be based
on the frequency or how long they use social media in a day. According to Karadkar (2015),
If the student uses social media in a wrong and inaccurate way, study habits will also be
affected in a negative way. On the contrary, if the students’ use social media in a proper
and positive way, study habits will also result in a positive way.
Hypotheses
The following hypotheses were guided by the research question and generated by the
research in this study.
1. There are no variations social media platforms that the STEM student of
University of Caloocan (UE) Caloocan Campus use.
2. Social media has an impact on the study habits of STEM students in an
uncooperative and pessimistic way.
3. The STEM students of the University of the East Caloocan are not aware of
the impacts that have been brought by the social media to their study habits

RESEARCH DESIGN
This chapter entails the overall plan of the study. This chapter includes the research
design, the data and its sources, the research instruments, the procedure, the data gathering
procedure, and the plan for data analysis.
Research Method
To explore the world of social media and to address the research questions, the
researchers conducted a study about the effect of social media for STEM students using a
Qualitative research design. According to the book Practical Research 1: Basics of
Qualitative Research, it is a form of social inquiry, it focuses on the people’s perception
about an event, a thing or in the environment and it is all about their experience. The
phenomenology approach was also applied in this research as the researchers wanted to
know the perspective and experiences of individual students in terms of social media. This
research will be helpful to the students especially if those students consumed a lot of time
using social media.
Researchers did the preliminary questions to the STEM students in the University
of the East to choose the respondents. Two sampling methods were used in selecting the
participants. For grade 11 STEM students, the researchers used convenience sampling.
While in grade 12 STEM students, quota sampling method was used. Researchers compiled
14
Caloocan Campus
a list of students for participation. Only a few of the students are selected to generalize the
whole of STEM students. The selected students partaked and answered the interview
questions and survey questions that the researchers made. Their answers are then
generalized to discover the effect of social media in the study habits of students.
Research Locale
The study was conducted at the University of the East - Caloocan Campus. It is
located at 105 Samson Road, Caloocan City, Philippines. The respondents are interviewed
and surveyed in an enclosed and private area to ensure that the respondents are focused on
answering the interview and survey questions.

Caloocan Campus
Nature of the Subject and Respondents
Social media has been used by various groups of people in the community.
Specifically, the usage among senior high school students is explicitly high. Students from
senior high school utilize social media for many purposes. it is believed that basic
information like gender, age, and how often do the students use social media in a day.
According to the book Practical Research 1: Basics of Qualitative Research, the
respondents from a phenomenological approach is no more than 10 participants. So, the
researchers chose 10 respondents: five (5) from Grade 11 and five (5) from grade 12 that
will represent the population. Though there are maximum numbers of respondents, the
researchers also looked for additional respondents in case the data were not saturated.
Sampling method
Researchers selected the STEM students who will participate in the study and to
answer the questions that the researchers made. Non-probability sampling was used by the
researcher. There are two sampling methods were used in selecting the students who will
participate. Convenience sampling was used for grade 11 STEM students and quota
sampling for grade 12 STEM students. According to the book of Practical Research 1:
Basics of Qualitative Research, convenience sampling is made of people who has
accessibility to the researchers, and they are easy to reach and in quota sampling, the
selection of participant is non-random so not everyone had the chance to participate the
study. The goal was to know the impact of social media in the study habits of individual
students.

As stated above, there were four (4) male and six (6) females who participated in
the study, and there are five (5) students who are 16-17 years old while there are five (5)
students who are 18 years old. There are also two (2) students who use social media for
1-3 hours, four (4) students who use social media for 4-6 hours, three (3) students who
utilized social media for 7-9 hours, and there is only one (1) student who uses social media
for more than 9 hours.
Data and Their Sources
In order to gather the data needed, the researchers used both primary and secondary
sources.
Primary Sources
The researchers made use of both the questionnaire and interview. The
questionnaire was a list of open-ended questions with choices to choose from and space
was provided for any other possible answers not specified on the given choices. There was
17
Caloocan Campus
also space provided for specific questions seeking to know the effects of social media on
one’s study habits. The interview was conducted face-to-face with the respondent allowing
in-depth questioning and follow up questions.
Secondary Sources
The researchers used the related literature and related studies as background
information to determine information relevant to the study. Observations and discoveries
were comprised of different related studies and literature to come up with valid and reliable
data.
Research Instruments
The data was collected based on two kinds of data collection method: questionnaire
and interview, for a better understanding of data gathered answering the research questions.
The interview and questionnaire were conducted with the students of UE chosen according
to the criterion. The research instrument was then validated and evaluated. The following
criterion served as a guide for the acceptability and reliability of the research instrument.

Survey Questionnaires
The first instrument used in gathering the data was by conducting a survey and
distributing questionnaires. The researchers made use of this instrument as there are
questions made that was needed not to be explained further yet can satisfy the data needed.
The researchers developed the instrument by searching for related questionnaires online
for some questions and add a minor revision yet the majority of it is formulated only by
the researchers.
The researchers utilized their statement of the problem as the basis in formulating
questions that can gather rich data and satisfy the researchers’ needs. They interpreted the
data gathered by scrutinizing for commonalities and categorized them according to the
themes that have emerged.

since each validator has its own standards on grading and evaluating the instrument.
Interview
The researchers used a semi-structured interview to allow the interview to take its
course without being too structured and outlined since the researchers’ aim was to gain the
insights and experiences of the respondents. Similarly, to what had been done in the
questionnaire, the researchers developed the interview questions by using the statement of
the problem as their basis, specifically the research question number 3 to test the awareness
of STEM students. After that, the researchers then transcribed the data and looked for
themes that have emerged and categorized it afterward for interpretation.

Procedure
The data gathered were obtained initially through communication with the grade
11 and 12 students from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
strand in University of the East Caloocan. The researchers used quota and convenience
sampling. Quota sampling was executed when the researchers are the one who chooses the
respondents due to lack of time. Also, convenience sampling was implemented by reaching
out to the respondents who are in their free time when the interview and survey were
conducted. At this time, the students answered preliminary questions and were filtered out
. The survey questions and interview questions were conducted in person to gain further
and in-depth information about the effects of social media in their study habits. In order to
inform the respondents about the purpose of the study, the topic of the research was
presented to them.
The data collection took place in a private place on the campus of the university
during school hours, which was the most accessible for the respondents. Prior to
commencing the survey and interview, an introductory consent form was acknowledged.
In the beginning, the interviewees were asked to answer demographic profile
including the age, sex, and their preferred alyas. Once the demographic profile is
completed, the interview began about their awareness on the impacts of social media on
their study habits. It was tape-recorded and was transcribed to further analyze the
22
Caloocan Campus
information given by the respondents. After that, the respondents answered a set of
questions in the survey to acquire data on how social media affects their study habits.

Ethical Consideration
Beforehand, the respondents were asked to partake in the study by giving consent
letters that serve as proof they are willing to participate in the study. Confidentiality and
anonymity were eminent in this study, the answered survey questionnaires were kept in a
locked cabinet in the researcher’s home and each interview was recorded using a mobile
phone and named according to the number given to the respondents. To protect the human
subjects in this study, the tape recording was terminated and deleted after the recording
was analyzed and interpreted, to ensure that no information was leaked.
Data Analysis
The interviews were recorded using a mobile phone, with the consent of the
respondents and After the data from the questionnaires and interview had been gathered
and the recordings were transcribed, it was examined by the researchers through reading
every transcription as well as the data from the survey individually and compared to find
correlations among the interviews and survey. In addition, the researchers applied open,
axial and selective coding as methods for analysis that designs labels and categories within
the data. These methods were used to distinguish, conceptualize, and place the information
into categories.

Chapter 4
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter contains the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data acquired
from the responses of the respondents. The discussion follows the order presented in the
statement of the problem.
To ensure the validity and the reliability of the findings, the researchers used the
external validation of coding strategies which is a process of comparing how the
researchers have categorized the results with how another researcher from another group
would have done it. It was ensured that the other group validated it honestly, accurately,
and precisely.
What social media platforms do students frequently use?
According to the data gathered in the survey questionnaire, the majority of the
respondents answered that they spend approximately 4-6 hours using social media per day.
Followed by 7-9 hours and there are also students who stated that they only use social
media for 1-3 hours. The minority answered that they use social media for more than 9
hours.
The usual social media platforms that STEM students use are Messenger, YouTube,
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail, and Google Scholar. Not one respondent
answered that they use the platform Wikipedia. The majority uses Messenger and YouTube
25
Caloocan Campus
garnering the highest tally from the respondents followed by Twitter and Instagram. Next,
is Facebook then immediately followed by Google and then Gmail. Lastly, the minority
belonged to the platform Google scholar.
How do social media influences STEM students’ study habits?
a. In what way do social media aids the STEM students’ study habits?
The researchers categorized the survey answers of the participants. According to
the result of this study, the students saw the beneficial side of employing social media in
terms of the updates online, gathering information, finding different references and execute
tasks faster. First is to be updated in a certain event inside and outside of our country that
may contribute to their learnings. They can also be updated in terms of schoolwork or group
activities.
One of the platforms that students use is the Messenger application, which enables
them to equate and communicate with their respective group mates to make collaborative
work and to be updated in their group project. Social media also aid the students to gather
information or find references that can support them with their studies. Distinguished by
Boyd & Ellison, 2007: Hakoyama & Hakoyama (2011), social media is the part of
mankind's society, it is used for a lot of purposes such as socialization, entertainment, and
even in the study.
When a student was given a certain homework or task, they go through different
sources or platforms on the internet to fulfill their task. To be specific, students used various
search engines such as Google, Google Scholar, and others to look up certain information.
26
Caloocan Campus
Since there are various websites on the internet, there are many options that students may
use to find what they are looking for. It is also asserted from the survey that it is faster, and
it could save tons of time. Instead of going to the library, it is much easier to search online
for the students. Also, students can manage their time on when to study and when to browse
social media to check updates.
Other than that, students tend to be more focus when utilizing social media in their
study habits. According to the survey, students are likely to be focused on when using
social media in doing homework or when studying. But there are also some students who
stated that they get distracted when using social media.
b. In what way social media serves as a distraction?
Social media has a benefit, but it also has its consequences if people cannot control
themselves. It becomes part of this generation’s lives.
Students use social media because they want, and they need to. They tend to use it
while studying, but sometimes, while studying there are some students who immediately
check their notifications while studying to learn. Instead of just studying, they are also
using social networking sites that can cause them to lessen their focus because of studying
and using social media at the same time. According to Wang et al. (2011) students who
spend more time on social media and take less time on studying are more likely to have
low grades. It can also affect their use of grammar and spelling. (As cited by Kalpidou,
Costin & Morris, 2011; as cited by Gok, 2016).
27
Caloocan Campus
People nowadays are so engaged in social media that their time, attention, and
concentration are diverted away from studying (Abdulahi, Samadi & Gharkegi, 2014).
Majority of users are students and they spend more time on social media instead of studying
which makes it true that social media, predominantly Social Networking Sites (SNS),
serves as a distraction, according to Karpinski (2009). In accordance, bad performance in
academics is a consequence of having poor study habits (as cited by Abdulahi, Samadi, &
Gharleghi, 2014).
There is also a situation that the students doing a task and then suddenly opening
unrelated tabs that can cause them to be distracted to the task that they needed to do.
According to Tariq, Mehboob, Asfandyar, & Ulah, (2012), the attention and concentration
of the students are mostly on social media. It influenced them to non-educational works,
and improper actions including chatting nonsense to other people, consume most of the
time using it and also becoming lazy to do a job.
How aware do the STEM students of UE Caloocan about the impacts of
social media on their study habits?
According to the data gathered by the researchers from the conducted interview,
three themes emerged from it:
Time management and Procrastination
In accordance with the interview conducted by the researchers, the majority of the
participants stated that they procrastinate due to the following reasons:
28
Caloocan Campus
Students procrastinate sometimes or most of the times due to the fact that they get
easily distracted by social media. Identically, the majority of the respondent's stated they
tend to scroll up newsfeeds and watch shows to spend their time with. They check their
social media account updates before doing homework or activities. Being lazy contributes
to procrastination. They tend to procrastinate because they have more time before the due
date of a certain school task and divert their attention to social media. But on the contrary,
procrastination builds up the pressure. Students tend to cram due to pressure. Nonetheless,
they could comply with activities or homework within the due date.
“…since I am um, I have this motto that um um diamonds are formed under
pressure, so um with the use of procrastination I tend to do my work better
because I tend to get pressured so with this I, I'm able to produce um a more
good task.”
However, a minority of the participants stated that they do not procrastinate, and
they do their respective activities or homework before the due date. Students tend to do
their homework as early as possible before checking any social media accounts like
Facebook, Twitter, and such.
“So, honestly, social media did not manipulate me. I have my own limits, I
have my controls in terms of using social media, I know when to use and what
is the best time to use it. So, if I know I need to study, if I need to sleep, I know
for myself that I should stop using social media.”
29
Caloocan Campus
Habits and behavior in studying or doing school task with and without social media
Through time most students are using social media and as time passes the users of
social media are increasing especially the student ages 16-19 years old. Because of the
increasing users of it, there are researchers who conducted a study about the behaviors of
the students when studying while using social media. Based on the study, the student’s
behaviors and habits are affected by social media. In terms of the habits and behaviors of
students with the use of social media, there are some who tends to procrastinate most of
the time. And because of too much use of it, the students are distracted. In terms of the
efficiency and quality of the school task, there are students who say that social media make
things more efficient and informative.
However, there are some students who say not. In terms of the student’s
productivity, there are some students who are lazy because they used social media too much
even while studying. It serves as a distraction in some students but for some students who
can control and manage their time of using social media, it helps them to do the task
properly.
“I think sometimes, it causes distraction, but sometimes, it helps
because it is where we get informations especially if we were going to ask our
classmates and teachers, so I think it is balanced.”
In addition, the focus of the students is divided while studying. Student’s asserted
that they have less focus on the reason for using social media while studying. Some claimed
30
Caloocan Campus
that having a goal that you need to finish a certain task leads to have more focus and to be
more concentrated.
“So, with that, my habits and behaviors is I tend to be more focused
and concentrated, if I have to do it, if I have a goal to finish,I need to finish it
within the day”
Lastly, social media can also affect the time and sleeping schedule of students. Most
of the participants say that they sleep late at night just because of too much using social
media.Majority of the students are using social media in a negative way. Because of it the
students tend to do the task before the due date or procrastinating. The researchers conclude
that majority of the students are having a lack of time to sleep, distracted and less
productive with the use of social media. However, there are students who prefer using
books as a reference instead of social media.
“…uhhhh I used to refer to books, and to my own notes or lectures
then uhhh I tend to concentrate more and focus on what I need to finish on
within the day.”

They are more likely to be productive and have a better focus on their school works
since there are no disturbances coming from various platforms of the internet. They can
concentrate adequately and have a longer time to finish their task since they don’t
procrastinate, or they do their respective responsibility ahead of time. Also, the
information that can be gathered from the books are more substantial, some student said
that their understanding is much better with the use of books. Since their time are not
affected with regards to using social media, they have longer sleeping time and a better
31
Caloocan Campus
sleeping schedule. In contrast, using books as a reference take too much of their time to
gather information and make their school work harder since their reference are hard to find.
Ways in addressing the impacts brought by social media
In accordance with how the participants answered question number 2, they are
aware of the impacts brought by social media and are able to address and know how to
address the problems associated with its use. They are also able to give proper
methods/strategies on how to combat the negativities of social media and its effects after
the problem was resolved.
To sum up all the answers from the participants, refraining from using social media
can be a great start on addressing the problem. If possible, uninstall applications, turn off
notifications to avoid unnecessary distractions instead, do the task right away. Doing a task
as early as possible has many associated benefits: more efficient and high-quality school
tasks, can boost productivity, increased focus leading to task being properly done and
learning a lot and much better, can also have more free time and sleeping schedule is better,
sleeping time is longer, and lastly, leads to better academic performance.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND
RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions, and recommendations
of the study.
Summary of Findings
In this chapter, the information of each individual STEM students who participated
in the study are given including the demographic information, individual survey, and
interviews that were conducted to answer the following research problem
The participant gives a concise understanding of the personal experiences of their
individual life. In this chapter, the convenience and quota sampling was used to choose the
ten individual STEM students who participated the study and the information about them
are given including the demographic information, Individual survey, and interviews that
were conducted. As stated in the research method, qualitative research with
phenomenology approach is applied to gather the data and to answer the research problem.
The participant gives a concise understanding of the personal experiences of their
individual life.
The findings of the study are based on an analysis of survey and interview
transcripts, the hypothesis and findings were discussed in four parts that correspond with
the themes from the data.
33
Caloocan Campus
1. According to the data gathered in the survey questionnaire, the majority of the
students spend approximately 4-6 hours using social media and the minority are
using social media for more than 9 hours.
2. In the collection of the data gathered by the researchers, the students usually used
Messenger, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail, and Google
Scholar. And the majority of the platform that the students are using is the
Messenger and YouTube.
3. As stated in the second research problem, social media exerted influence on the
study habits of STEM students. In this problem, there were two factors that affect
the STEM student’s study habits which can aid them and can be a distraction for
them. According to the data gathered, the students are distracted and tend to
procrastinate because of too much using it. There are also students says that social
media can help them and can support them in their studies. The students can do the
task that was given to them faster with the help of social media.
4. In the collected data, students in the University of the East in Caloocan, the STEM
students are aware of the impacts of social media on their study habits that can
affect them like the Messenger, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google,
Gmail, and Google Scholar. There are students that are not aware of it that leads
them to scroll in their newsfeed, watch some videos to entertain them that they do
not do their task and activities.
34
Caloocan Campus
Conclusions
In the findings mentioned in the summary, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. STEM students utilized several social media platforms such as Messenger,
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail, and Google Scholar.
These platforms can aid the students in their studies when used wisely, but most of
the time serves as a distraction, as it is home to entertain. Moreover, STEM students
are conscious of the influence social media has upon them and can properly assess
and address its corresponding problem.
2. In accordance with the findings that social media mostly serves as a distraction, it
led to procrastination, as stated by the majority of the participants. STEM students
mostly procrastinate due to the presence of social media, however, upon addressing
the problem, they also are able to comply with the school tasks given to them.
Recommendations
The following recommendations were made based on the results of the study:
For the beneficiaries:
1. This study found that using social media excessively leads to procrastination, which
influences their study habits. Thus, the schools should have a seminar on how to
properly manage their time and inform all the students on what the consequences
of are using social media.
35
Caloocan Campus
2. Since there are various platforms of social media that STEM students at the
University of the East Caloocan Campus use. Therefore, teachers should take this
as an opportunity to make this as a tool to empower and influence the study habits
of the students. For example, giving an online reviewer, which is more creative,
and engaging for the students.
3. Few students use their phone inside their class, which distracts them. They should
be monitored by the professors and have a policy of no phone inside the class when
not in use.
4. For the students to reduce their time using social media, they can have an alternative
way of entertaining themselves like reading books, playing sports etc.
5. Social networking sites should establish more academic related sites that can
support the students to enhance their skills in studying and make their task more
accessible.
6. Parents should be responsible to monitor the students on the usage of social media
to decrease their time surfing on the internet.
For future researchers:

1. Firstly, due to a shortage of time, the researchers could not increase sample size
from more than 10. By increasing sample size, results may vary. More respondents
yield more in-depth knowledge and concise information.
2. To further generalize the findings of this study, future research should be enforced
on other students at different grade levels and also from different strands.
36
Caloocan Campus
3. At some point, people tend to think that social media only influences negatively the
youths. Adolescents are also vulnerable to the same and a study should be
conducted on the effects of social media on another aspect such as academic
performance, time management in other grade levels or the impact of social media
on moral behaviors of the adults in a particular grade level.
4. Further research should be executed to explore the factors on why social media
makes a strong impact of a certain target population with a goal of accommodating
various solution for the negative effects.
5. Future researchers should also look at up-to-date related literature and related
studies to further verify the findings.

I: So good afternoon, we the grade 11 STEM students from the University of the East Caloocan are researching on the "Effect
of Social Media in the Study habits of STEM students in U.E Caloocan campus." That aims to investigate the impacts that
social media brings to the study habits of STEM students in U.E (Stuttered) Caloocan campus. Thank you for your willingness
to participate in the interview and survey and all the information are reassured to be confidential. So, let's start. When do you
usually do your assignments?
P: I usually do my assignments (Stuttered) since I'm an afternoon shift, I do it after our shift so it's night time.
I: Are you also one of the people having a mantra of due date is the do date?
P: For me sometimes I do that but um often ah um iniisip ko muna yung deadline since malayo pa, gagawin ko na agad.
I: If so, what are the reasons you procrastinate?
P: um, um yung mga rasons siguro kasi (Stuttered) mayroong iba't ibang factors tayo na kinakaharap. So halimbawa na dun is
yung um syempre yung mga mayroon tayong individual and group activities so pwedeng makaapekto kung yung participation
ng bawat members.
I: How often do you procrastinate?
P: Ako sakin, to be honest (Stuttered) sometimes lang.
I: In your own observation, what are the habits or behaviors (Stuttered) you have when you're studying or doing school task?
P: Ako ang yung habits ko and behavior syempre di mawawala yung pag gamit natin ng internet pero miniminimize lang natin
yung pag gamit nun.
I: Yung without social media naman?
P: Sa without social media naman meron naman kasi tayong mga activities sa school na hindi kinakailangan ng internet such
as binibigyan tayo ng kunware sa pages sa books so mas prefer ko yung without social media kasi hindi mo na kailangan
mag gugol pa ng oras sa internet.
I: So, what are its effect on the effeciency and quality of your school task?
P: Kasi pag ikaw meron kang gumagamit ka ng social media, pwedeng ma divide yung focus mo into two different aspects.
I: In terms of your productivity?
P: Sa productivity naman, um pwede syang magpataas ng (Stuttered) productivity sometimes at pwede rin naman syang
magpababa dipende sa sitwasyan.
I: What are its effects on your focus and learning?
P: Ayun nga katulad ng sinabi ko kanina, nahahati yung focus ko pero sa learning pwede syang madagdagan kasi hindi lang um
yung ginagawa mo pero may nakukuha ka pa sa internet.
I: What are its effect on your time and sleeping schedule?
P: Ayon dahil nga dalawa yung ginagawa mo so mas nadadagdagan yung oras na na-cconsume mo, so basically mas bumababa
yung time management mo.
I: Have you ever addressed the impacts brought by social media?
P: Yes, kasi ako naman kasi napaka-ano di naman sa ano studios akong tao so nakikita ko yung mga effects nya so pag nakikita
ko agad yung effects nya um pinipigilan ko na agad yung sarili ko, kasi alam kong sumosobra na ko, nalalaman ko yung
limitation ko.
I: What are the methods or strategies you use?
P: Saan anong use? Saan?
I: Sa pag gamit po ng social media
P: Sa pag gamit po ng social media, kukuha muna ako ng pag, kunware may assignment, ise-search ko muna sya, di na ko muna
magbubukas ng aking mga Facebook accounts, Messenger accounts kasi di naman kailangan yun. Kung may mga itatanong
lang ako tsaka ko lang sya bubuksan.
I: After addressing the problem how did it affect the efficiency and quality of your school task?
P: Ayon mas naging efficient sya, mas naging ka-um kapaki-pakinabang yung oras ko.
I: How about in terms of your focus and learning?
P: Sa focus and learning ko naman, mas focus ako. (Stuttered) Natuto ako nang maayos. Diba?
I: How about in your productivity?
P: Sa productivity naman, mas naging productive ako sa pag gawa ng mga iba't ibang school works and activities.
I: And how about in terms of your time and sleeping schedule?
P: Ayon nga dahil nga nag-ano ako, alam ko na yung . . . Um na-addressed ko na yung problem na yun so ang nangyari ay mas
nagkaroon ako ng time management, mas na-balance ko yung aking studies sa aking extra curricular works.
I: That would be all, thank you.

I: So good afternoon po. We are grade 11 stem students from the University of the East-Caloocan and we are researching on
the effect of social media on the study habits of stem students in UE Caloocan Campus, that aims to investigate the impact
that social media brings to the study habits of stem students in UE Caloocan Campus. Thank you for your willingness to
participate in the interview and survey. So, for the first question po, when do you usually do your assignments?
P: Um, I, english?
I: Anything po.
P: Um, I usually do them when um I have free time but I, I um, inuuna ko ‘yung mga facebook gano’n gano’n, I admit. Tapos
parang ginagawa ko siya last minute and even on the day na dapat siyang ipasa.
I: So, you are also one of, one of the people having… (cough) wait (cough) having a mantra of “due date is the do-date”?
P: Yeah, yeah mhm.
I: So, if so, what are the reasons you procrastinate?
P: Um, I think it’s because I’m the kind of student na… uh I’ll do better kapag cramming ‘yung ano ‘yung nagka-cram sa time
so parang mas focus ako, dun ako mas nakakapag-focus.
I: So, how often do you procrastinate?
P: Always.
I: So, in your own observations, what are the habits or behaviors you have when studying or doing school tasks with the aid of
social media? Or with… uh like facebook but it can also be like Google?
P: Kung pa’no niya naapektuhan ‘yung study habits ko?
I: Hindi, ‘yung… the habits and behaviors while uh while studying uh with social media.
P: Um I think… uh sometimes it causes distraction, pero sometimes, it helps kasi ano do’n tayo kumukuha ng information lalo
na kapag magtatanong tayo sa mga ano sa mga [inaudible segment] sa mga classmates natin, or sa mga teachers natin, so ano
balanced lang siya, I think.
I: Um, your study habits and behaviors without social media like um no phones, no gadgets, just uh your book s, notes, that.
P: Um, on, on better days, ‘yung mga (stutter) ‘di ako tinatamad na days, ano I think maganda siya kasi nakakapagfocus talaga
‘ko and (stutter) naisasaulo ko talaga, pero kapag halimbawa lazy days ta’s ano mahahawakan ko ‘yung phone ko pero
kailangan kong gumawa ng something, syempre parang mas, mas mae-entince akong mag, mag ano magcellphone.
I: So, um regarding these observations about your habits and behaviors what do you think are its effects on the efficiency and
quality of your school tasks?
P: Um I think it depends on the student. Kung ikaw ‘yung tipo ng studyante na um kung (stutter) gusto mo talaga gawin ‘yung
homework mo, hinding hindi makakaapekto ‘yon. Pero kung ikaw ‘yung parang ako na, ano na, usually nagpo-procrastinate,
um edi ayon nakaka (long pause) nakakaapekto ‘yon sa ano sa study habits syempre (stutter) maga-ano [inaudible segment].
END OF TAPE 1 (2 TAPES TOTAL)
START OF TAPE 2 (2 TAPES TOTAL)

I: So, uh, next is um your, effects on your focus and learning.
P: Um, sa focus… ano sobrang nakaka-distract siya, tsaka ano ‘yung isa?
I: Learning.
P: Learning… ayon nakaka-distract, so due to the distraction, parang syempre ‘yung learning mo mababawasan dahil sa iba ka
naka-focus.
I: So, ‘yung last for the effects is, how about its uh effects on your time and sleeping schedule.
P: Uh, sa time… uh… minsan nakakapagwaste siya ng time lalo na kapag may mga homeworks tayo na gagawin tapos sa
sleeping, napupuyat ako, syempre kasi… due to social media tsaka sa mga iba pang platforms.
I: So, mga like, um ilang hours na lang po ‘yung sa tingin niyo ‘yung tulog niyo… uh if that’s the case?
P: 4, gano’n.

63
Caloocan Campus

since focused ka mas marami kang matututunan, mas maiintindihan mo ‘yung binabasa mo.

Duration: 5 mins 45 sec
I: Goodafternoon, we grade 11 stem students from the university of the east caloocan are researching on the effects of social
media in the study habits of stem students in ue caloocan campus, that aims to investigate the impacts of social media brings
to the study habits of stem students in ue caloocan campus. Thank you for your willingness to participate in the interview
and survey. You have read the consent form and you are willing to participate in our study. You also agreed that the
information will be recorded by the researchers. Rest assure...assured that all information are strictly confidential and
anonymous
P: I have agreed with the uhmm... I have read the consent form and i agreed with your conditions.
I: Uhhh, For the first question, when do (laughter) you usually do (laughter) your assignments?
P: So i do my assignments before time. So, it depends uhhh. I used to uhhh do things before time. So uhmm ginagawa ko yung
mga assignments parang siguro 1 day before or basta as much as possible, early ko siyang gagawin.
I: So, you're not one of the people having a mantra of "due date is the do date"?
P: No. I dont do that.
I: So, in your own observations, what are the habits/behaviors you have when you are studying or doing school tasks?
P: So, yung ginagawa ko kapag gumagawa ako ng assignment or school activities, i tend to focus and concentrate dun sa mga
ginagawa ko. Kung gagawa, gagawa lang. Then kung magcecellphone, which is i am used to kapag gumagawa kasi ako
kailangan naka open din yung phone ko kasi in terms of group activities or what uhhh kailangan kasi yung social media
kapag nakikipag connect ako sa iba kong mga classmate or sa professors or teachers ko. So, with that uhhhh yung mga habits
or behaviors ko is yun nga, yung focus ako ang concentrated. Kung gagawin, kung kailangan dapat gawin, kung may goal
ako na matapos for the day, kailangan ko siya tapusin within the day.
I: And what about you study habits and behaviors when you are not using social media or without the aid of them?
I: So, when i tend to study uhhh without social media, i used to uhhh concentrate parin kahit ganun uhhhh i used to refer to
books, and to my own notes or lectures then uhhh i tend to concentrate more and focus on what i need to finish on within the
day.
P: So, what are its effects on the efficiency and quality of your school tasks?
I: So uhh dahil dun sa study habits ko na mas ginagawa ko siya earlier within the due date. So i can manage my own kung may
dapat pa ba akong gawin or irevise. So, by that, i know na confiedent akong ipapasa yung mga requirements or yung uhhh
kailangan kong ipasa kasi alam kong ginawa ko siya before the due date and i know na hindi ko siya minadali and confident
ako sa ginawa ko.
P: What about your productivity, your focus and leaning?
I: So, in terms of productivity, uhh yung effect niya is i see my self productive in a way na uhhh yung goal ko for the day
natapos ko. So, meaning nababawasan yung mga dapat na gawin ko. Hindi ako masyadong nag-ooverthink na kailangan
matapos ko to. So hindi ganon.
I: Then in terms of my focus and learning naman, with that dahil isa isa ko siyang tinatapos, or isa isa ko siyang uhhh ginagawa,
i tend to have more focus in a certain thing, in a certain period. So uhh mas nadedevelop ko yung learning and mas naaacquire
ko yung dapat na matutunan ko.
P: So, the effects on your time and sleeping schedule like do you maximize your time on doing school task and what are its
effects on your sleeping schedule?
I: So, in terms of time and sleeping schedule, so dahil nga sa study habits ko na ginagawa ko siya early than the due date, so
hindi ako masyadong napupuyat, or masyado kong hindi naman...at some point dahil sa sobrang daming gawain, napupuyat
ako, pero uhhh kumbaga, mas naiiwasan ko na sobra yung puyat ko na to the point na 2 -3 hours lang yung tulog ko. So, with
that, i can manang my own uhhh sleeping schedule wherein i used to control also or think of my own health.
P: So yung uhh...have you ever had the impacts on you brought by social media like distraction or anything else?
I: So uhh, Honestly hindi naman ako masyadong kinain ng sistema ng social media. I have my own limits. I have my controls
in terms of using social media, and alam ko kung saan lang ako dapat gumagamit at ano lang yung ginagamit at anong oras
lang din yung gamit ko. So, kung alam kong kailangan ko na mag-aral, kailangan ko nang matulog, alam ko sa sarili ko na
dapat uhhhh itigil ko na yung paggamit ng social media.

I: Goodafternoon po, we are grade 11 stem students from the university of the east caloocan, and we are researching on the
effects of social media in the study habits of stem students in ue caloocan campus, that aims to investigate the impact that
social media brings to the study habits of stem students in ue caloocan campus. Thank you for your willingness to participate
in the interview and survey.
I: So, for the first question po, when do you usually do your assignments?
P: Uhm ginagawa ko yon kapag ka bigay palang ganon para hindi tayo nagagahol sa mga gagawin. Tsaka kasi yung ibang
teachers din, meron silang mga binibigay tapos masusundan yun agad ng mga ibang gawain.
I: So, you are not one of the people having a mantra of "due date is the do date"?
P: Uhh no.
I: So, in your own observations po, what are habits of behaviors you have when studying or doing school tasks with the aid of
social media? any social media networking sites like google, pero pwede din yung mga twitter, facebook, etc.
P: Uhh siguro ano, yung google. Google talaga yung pinaka the best, kasi masasagot natin agad, hindi katulad yung pag sa
books tayo kumuha, madami yung mga kailangan pa nating ibrowse. Pero yung sa google kasi, isang type lang, pero syempre
kailangan pa rin nating isure yung reliable sources.
I: So, what are the habits or behaviors you observed when you're studying without social media? Uhm mainly yung books,
notes yun lang po.
P: Uhm siguro ano, mas matagl na ayon. Kasi syempre kailangan mo balikan lahat ng notes mo or yung books mo ganon.
I: So uhm what are its effects on the efficiency and quality of your school tasks? Based on how you answered on the previous
question.
P: Pagka reliable sources, mas madali natin siyang maaano. Tsaka hindi natin masasabi na mali yon or kunyare ano, lalo na
tayo kapag stem students. Madami yung mga assignments natin na puro definition kaya ganon, masasabi natin na tama yon.
I: Yung sa social media po iyon?
P: Uh huh
I: How about its effects on your productivity?
P: Yung productivity, siguro, based mga tao na gumagawa ng assignments nila ganon, feeling ko masasabi ko na sa akin, yung
productivity ng paggawa, parang kailangan mo lang talaga imanage yung time mo, tsaka hindi yung puro social media lang
yung ginagamit mo.
I: So parang balance po kayo? You are using social media uh as a uh parang aid sayo and not distraction?
P: Uh oo
I: So, what are its effects on your time and sleeping schedule?
P: Yung sa sleeping schedule, syempre pagka yung mga sa gabi na ganon, parang pag natapos na natin lahat, dun nalang tayo
mag ano, mag allot ng time para ano, mag twitter, magfacebook.
I: Yung sa sleeping schedule uh uhm, do you usually uh yung maaga ka matulog, or yung late?
P: Late na kasi sa sobrang daming ginagawa parang wala ka na rin namang time na magsocial media or ano kasi sa sobrang
daming gagawin, parang hindi naman natin mapapasok yung pagfafacebook, kasi kung mag-fefacebook ka man, parang ang
titingnan mo nalang dun kung ano yung assignments niyo, kung ano yung mga gagawin niyo.
I: Uh so uhm is there, is there any negative impacts that is brought to you by social media?
P: Meron naman. Meron pa din lalo yung mga share na mga hindi reliable or maniniwala tayo agad na ayun yung news, yung
mga fake news ganon. Kaya kailangan talaga nating iassure yung mga sources na nanggagaling. Pero meron rin naman siyang
positive effects
I: That will be all po, thank you for participating.
