1. Choose two or three research reports from your research and scan through the
summaries noting the theories put forward, the methodologies adopted, methods
and techniques and any recommendations for further study.
The following are the references of the three research reports I have chosen
regarding the effects of internet usage on the academic performance of students:
Yebowaah, F. A. (2018). Internet Use and its Effect on Senior High School
Students in Wa Municipality of Ghana. Library Philosophy and Practice (e-
Journal). 5(1), 39-70.
The primary research report that I have chosen is the study of Shahibi (2017).
The results on the study of Shahib (2017) regarding the influence of internet
usage on student’s academic performance aligns to the results of the studies of
Ivwighreghweta, O., & Igere, M. A. (2014) and Yebowaah, F. A. (2018). In their
studies, they have found out internet in general may or may not affect the
academic performance of students. However, internet used for education
purpose does improve the academic performance of students in school.
3. Develop an alternative theoretical framework for the research report that you
selected.
