CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Our manner of life and how we connect with one another have changed as a result of
the COVID19 pandemic. It actually instilled dread around the world and forced many
doors, businesses, and jobs to close. By doing so, it even transported us into the social
media realm. We can only communicate online with our friends and romantic partners; we
are unable to see them in person. Even our classes are changing from in-person instruction
to online, modular instruction. As a result, we spend more time online and on our phones.
Today, the world celebrates advancements in communication technology that have
widened the reach of communication via Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs). Without aquestion, modern communication technology has transformed the entire
world into a "Global village." However, technology, like two sides of a coin, has both
positive and harmful aspects. It assists people in becoming more aware, enlightened, and
up to date on global events.

8400, Surigao City

Technology introduces people to a better method of doing things. Twitter, Yahoo
Messenger, Facebook, What’s - app Messenger, Skype, Google Talk, Google Messenger, I
Phone, and Androids are examples of social networking sites. Most people utilize these
media sites to engage with old and new acquaintances, physical or virtual. The rapid
evolution of technology has altered the world, and this has resulted in the use of
technology as the ideal medium to explore the vast range of knowledge. It is utilized not
only to generate, gather, and share information, but it is also a platform for giving or
providing leisure and enjoyment. Different social media applications provide a wide range
of entertainment and leisure-based options, such as Facebook, where they offer different
types of games that vary depending on what the user wants, and YouTube, where you can
watch a wide range of videos. Since social media applications are undeniably entertaining,
they also have their own drawbacks, such as the said social media sites, which are very
addicting to the users, particularly the youth. According to (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2010),
social media is a collection of internet-based apps
that expand on the conceptual and technological basis of Web 2.0 and enable the creation
and exchange of user-generated content. According to the (Oxford dictionary, 2011),
social media are "websites and applications used for social networking." Since the debut
of these social media networks, students' academic lives have taken on a new dimension,
both positively and badly. In their study, Kuppuswamy and Shankar (2010) stated that
social networks divert students'

8400, Surigao City

attention and concentration away from studying and redirect it toward non-educational
activities such as useless and unneeded conversing.
Social media is a collection of numerous websites with varying features but a
common goal of sharing and networking. Social media makes it simple for us to
communicate, speak, and even exchange information with our family and friends. It may
also have an impact on students' academic achievement. This site enables users to spend as
much time as they want on their preferred websites, which can have unintended
consequences such as incomplete schoolwork and other obligations. Social media attracts
a significant portion of students due to its enticing entertainment applications, which
students frequently prefer and give more attention to than their academics. The emphasis
that social media has diverted from visible to invisible friends are one of its challenges.
The process may have an impact on crucial academic tasks like writing and studying. Both
good and bad effects of social media use on students' academic achievement. Thus, it is
necessary to investigate the idea, impact, and difficulties of social media on grade 7
students' academic performance at the Northeastern Mindanao Colleges. Students'
academic achievement is being neglected and challenged severely. Social networking and
their academic work require divergence, diversion, and divided concentration. Students
are seen paying more attention to social media than to their coursework. Therefore, it is
crucial to
8400, Surigao City

examine some of the current issues that social media is having with Grade 7 students'
academic performance. All learning levels of students now give their studies separate
attention.
This is because there are chances made available by social media for a variety of
purposes. The question of whether these opportunities encourage study needs to be
addressed. One way to address the negative effects that social media has on students'
academic performance is for them to strive to avoid using social media while completing
school-related tasks. Students should use these social networking sites sparingly to avoid
having a negative impact on their academic performance because it is difficult to
concentrate when notifications are seen popping up and jingling. Teachers and lecturers
might use innovative techniques to encourage students to use social media for academic
purposes by directing discussions or assignments there. Students must limit their time on
social media to prevent being fixated on the platforms for pointless chit-chatting.
It is further supported by the findings concluded that social media unquestionably
create new opportunities to engage students in higher education because they are
remarkably effective at connecting people and facilitating the exchange of information.
These studies demonstrate unequivocally that social media usage in the educational sector
has not been underestimated since its inception.

8400, Surigao City

That is why we intended to conduct a study on how social media utilize and influence
the grade 7 students of North Eastern Mindanao Colleges (NEMCO), as we implement the
online classes in this institution. It's really important that we opened up a study like this
for us to find out the positive and negative effects of social media to the teenagers like the
Grade 7 students in NEMCO.
Framework of the Study
The study is anchored on the extent of social media on grade 7 students of
Northeastern Mindanao Colleges. And this research is based on the rational Social media
has become essential in today’s generation because we are dealing with the 22nd Century
learning process. In this study it aims to determine the main idea of social media activities,
its importance and utilization. The focus of the study is on how the use of social media
activities affects daily life of the pupils and how it influences their academic performance
and social affluence. Social media can also negatively affect student GPA as well as the
amount of time students spend preparing for class (Annetta et al., 2009; Junco, 2012b).

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
According to Junco al et (2010), social media are a collection of internet websites,
services, and practices that support collaboration, community building, participation, and
sharing”. The growing dimension of the use of social media among the youth of today
cannot be over emphasized. Over the years, social networking among second cycle
students has become more and more popular. It is a way to make connection not only on
campus, but with friends outside of school. Social networking is a way that helps many
people feels as though they belong to a community. Due to the increased popularity of it,
economists and professors are questioning whether grades of students are not being
8400, Surigao City

affected by how much time is spend on these sites (Choney, 2010). Though social media
can increase student learning through student interactions, challenges arise when social
media are incorporated into an academic course. The assumption that students are familiar
with and agreeable to using certain types of social media can cause educators to
inadvertently fail to provide the resources or encouragement necessary to support student
usage and learning (Cole, 2009; Väljataga & Fiedler, 2009). Arnold and Paulus (2010)
found that even when social media is used for an educational purpose, students
incorporate the technology into their lives in a way that may differ from the intentions of
the course instructor.
For example, off-topic or non- academic discussions occur on social media because of its
primary design as a social networking tool (Lin et al., 2013). Further, as a student’s age
increases, the frequency of off-topic discussions also increases (Lin et al., 2013). This
indicates that while social media may encourage broader discussions of course content,
older student’s may spend more time than younger students engaging in unrelated
discussions.
Social media can also negatively affect student GPA as well as the amount of time
students spend preparing for class (Annetta et al., 2009; Junco, 2012b). One explanation
for this impact is that social media provides too much stimulation and therefore can
distract students from completing their coursework (Hurt et al., 2012; Patera et al., 2008).
8400, Surigao City

Another reason for this may be that students who spend more time on social media
may have difficulty balancing their online activities and their academic preparation. Social
media can also be a challenging instructional strategy to incorporate because it attempts to
balance the authority of the educator with the active participation of the students.
Collaboration through social media supports
more of a constructivist approach to learning, where students and educators can work
together to co-create understanding of a particular topic, rather than an approach that
emphasizes individual contributions (Stevens, 2009).
Concept of social media
The term social media is defined as the application that allows users to converse and
interact with each other; to create, edit and share new forms of textual, visual and audio
content, and to categorize, label and recommend existing forms of content (Selwyn 2012).
As regards the intentions of social media usage, Oye, Adam, and Zairah, (2012) in their
study with Malaysian students using social networking site and its influence on their
academic performance showed that social networking sites usage for only social and non-
academic needs have an adverse effect on academic performance. Social media can also
be defined as forms of electronic communication through which users interact among
people in which they create, freely share, exchange and discuss information, ideas,
8400, Surigao City

personal messages, and other content about each other and their lives using a multimedia
mix of personal words, pictures, videos and audio, utilizing online platforms while they
are connected to the internet (Mingle & Adams, 2015). Concept of social media means
that employs mobile and web-based technology to create highly interactive platforms via
which individuals and community share, co-create, discuss and modifies user-generated
content (Kietzmannn, 2012). Social media is a phrase being tossed around a lot. It is a
website that does not just give you information but interact with you while giving you It is
a group of internet-based application that allows the creation and exchange of users
generated content.
Adding to it, they spend a lot of their time on these sites as a part of their daily lives.
Students can also exchange information by connecting with different individuals. This can
have a positive impact on student learning outcomes (Yu et al., 2010). Social media also
has an influence on student mental health; which refers to their emotional, psychological,
and social well-being. Schools and University students spend a lot of their time on social
media both during the day and at night, and it can be contended that such technologies
play an important role in their daily lives. However, despite their tremendous
contributions to knowledge acquisition, there is a need to determine whether such
technologies are being used to gain knowledge or for other purposes that may lead to the
harmful effects of technology misuse.” Social media has more adverse effects than
positive ones (Woods and Scott, 2016). Since students tend to spend more time on social
8400, Surigao City

media other than educational purposes; this tends to cause distraction from the learning
environment, affecting their academic progress (Bekalu et al., 2019, Hettiarachchi, 2014).
Further, spending a lot of time on social media can lead to sedentary lifestyle and a
decrease in daily physical activity levels, which in turn can render them vulnerable to
noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension (Melkevik et al.,
2015, Zou et al., 2019, Hu et al., 2001). Additionally, social media use has negative effects
on mental health and can lead to depression and anxiety. In a study by Pempek,
Yermolayeva, and Calvert (2009), the amount of time spent daily on social network sites
varied greatly. However, an analysis of the data indicated most participants spent
approximately thirty minutes a day socializing, mostly during the evening hours between
9p.m to 12a.m students spent an average of forty-seven minutes a day on Facebook. More
than 50% of students go on a social networking site several times a day (Sheldon, 2008).
Quad-Haase and Young (2010), found that 82% of students reported logging into
Facebook several times a day. Younger students tended to use Facebook more frequently
than older students to keep in touch with friends from school or from their hometown
(Pempek et al., 2009) Many researchers such as Choney , San Miguel (2009) and Enriquez
(2010) studies on students’ use of the social media sites revealed a negative effect of the
use of social media sites on students’ academic performance.
Social Media and Academic performance in the classroom

8400, Surigao City

Cox (2018), She claimed that social media can broaden people's understanding in a
variety of fields, minutes, not hours. You can find information on the most recent events
by just scrolling through your news feed. news and recent occurrences. Additionally, it's
simple to find pertinent information by employing a hashtag. Social networking is
fantastic because of the availability of quick updates. Social media use in the classroom
has been considered by many teachers to be a quick and efficient way for their students to
learn more about current events. It can be a good technique to gain knowledge as long as
you put some restrictions and make it clear to your pupils what it can and cannot be used
for in the classroom. Dany (2017), enumerated three major educational benefits of social
media, one of it is that using social media, teachers can able to improve the involvement of
their students in studies and education, improve technological
ability, provide a great sense of collaboration in the classroom and make good
communication skills. Today's students increasingly rely on the web's general accessibility
as well as the material that is available on social media platforms specially to find the
answers they need. This indicates that there is less of an emphasis on both learning and
information retention. Students are also making an effort to multitask. While studying,
they try to check a variety of social media platforms. Academic performance suffers as a
result. Additionally, because of the distraction that all of these social networking sites
bring, their capacity to focus on the task at hand is considerably diminished; Armstrong
(2012). Social Media Influence Students Socially and Academically According to
O'DELL (2011), social media has several influences on academic work some more
8400, Surigao City

positive than others. But what is social networking's overall impact on college students'
performance? According to data gathered from several sources by Online Education.net,
Facebook and Twitter are used to great benefit —sometimes. Students welcome online
engagement and resources; around 75% of student respondents said they'd like to do some
online collaboration for class, in fact. Also, social media may have a positive impact on
students' sense of themselves in the community. Social media-using students were twice as
likely as other students to feel well-liked by their peers and to participate in extracurricular
activities. However, other studies like Ahmed and Qazi (2011), Hanqittai and Hsich
(2010), Pasek and Hanqittai (2009), conducted on the same topic revealed no correlation
between social media and students’ academic performance. A study conducted at
Whittemore school of Business and Economic on one thousand, one hundred and twenty-
seven students revealed that there is no correlation between how much time is spent on
social networking sites and grades (Martin, 2009).
Student Academic Performance
Academic performance is the measurement of student achievement across various
academic subjects. Teachers and education officials typically measure achievement using
classroom performance, graduation rates and results from standardized tests (Ballotpedia,
2020).
8400, Surigao City

According to Wikipedia (2013), academic performance is the outcome of education; it
is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals.
Academic performance also means the knowledge and skills that students have mastered
in a subject or a course. It’s basically a measure of how well students have performed in
the various assessment items set for them based on some educational criteria determined
by professional educators (Yunlok, 2014). Thus performance is characterized by
performance on tests associated with coursework and the performance of students on other
types of examinations (Amasuomo, 2014).
Facebook on Academic Performance of Students
Facebook is one of most popularly used social networking software among students
today and there are vast opportunities for teachers and students in using social software for
teaching and learning. Created in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz
and Chris Hughes as a site for Harvard students only, Facebook has expanded and today a
lot of people especially students are on Facebook (Kietzmannn, 2012).
Today, Facebook has extended to high school networks, work networks, later, and,
eventually, Internet users in general. Like most social network sites, Facebook provides a
formatted web page into which each user can enter personal information, including
gender, birthday, hometown, political and religious views, e-mail and physical addresses,
relationship status, activities, interests, favorite music and movies, educational background
8400, Surigao City

and a main personal picture. After completing their profile, users are prompted to identify
others with whom they have a relationship, either by searching for registered users of
facebook or by requesting their contacts to join facebook (usually by e-mail). “Once
someone is accepted as a “friend,” not only the two users’ personal profile but also their
entire social networks are disclosed to each other” (Naheed& Tasawar, 2014; Hardi, et al
2017; Hamdi, 2010). This allows each user to navigate networks by clicking on ‘friend’s
profiles, so that one’s social network soars speedily through persons and establishments
This feature is the backbone of Facebook which attracts millions of users around the
world. Problems Associated with the Use of social media on Academic Performance.
Recently, there has arisen a debate on the adverse impact of social media usage on people,
particularly adolescents and student communities across the world.
In this respect, digital media and social media networking sites have received
criticism, and there are many perspectives regarding the effect of social media in the
context of Pakistani students. The popularity of social media applications and social
networking sites has increased precipitously during the last decade (Malita, 2011).
Typically, the reason for this rapid increase is that teenagers and college and university
students are using social media applications to gain global access. These social media
sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are becoming the craze in our society for everyone
these days (Stathopoulou Siamagka & Christodoulides, 2010).

8400, Surigao City

Today, students are relying increasingly on information and data that is easily
accessible on social networking sites and the internet. This is the reason why students’
learning skills and research capabilities are decreasing in certain situations, as their
engagement with these sites reduces their focus, which causes them to dedicate less time
to their studies and results in a decline in their poor academic performance manifesting in
the form of low grades, failure in assignment and class test, etc. (Hoffmann & Bublitz,
2017).
Typically, as students spend more time on social media, they spend less time
socializing face to face or in person with other people, and these habits reduce their
communication skills. The wasting of students’ time on social media may also cause them
to miss deadlines on occasion. As a result, students might not be able to communicate and
socialize effectively in person, and it is well known that strong communication skills are a
key to success. Moreover, excessive social media use affects students’ mental and physical
health. The adverse effects of these social media networking sites outweigh the positive
ones. Thus, these sites have caused potential harm to society. Students become victims of
social networks more often than anyone else. This may be because social media is an
attractive way for students to avoid boredom while they are studying or searching their
course material online, diverting their attention from their work (Bozoglan, 2017).
Implications for Counseling can play a major role in curtailing the negative influence of
social media networks on Students’ academic performance. Makinde (2007) (as cited in
8400, Surigao City

Shaterloo & Ghasem, 2011) defined guidance and counseling as an interaction process co-
joining the counselee, who is vulnerable and who needs assistance and the counselor who
is trained and educated to give this assistance, the goal is to help the counselee learn to
deal more effectively with himself and the reality of his environment.
The reality of every University student ‟ environment is to study hard to achieve
good grades but when social media networks begin to pose distractions for them, they tend
to live in a lie instead of their reality.
School counselors provide counseling programs in three domains: academic, career
and personal/social. Their services and programs help students‟ resolve emotional, social
or behavioral problems and help them develop a clearer focus or sense of direction
(Shaterloo & Ghasem, 2011). A student ‟ addiction to social media can be termed a
behavioral problem which falls under the personal/social counseling intervention
programs organized by the school counselor.
Counselors can assist students facing social media addiction problem by organizing
individual counseling program as he/she meets face to face with these students to assist
them in their personal difficulty; it also helps to build their self-confidence. When a
student successfully goes through these counseling intervention programs there tend to be
8400, Surigao City

a change in behavioral patterns which would be of great benefit to the student in his/her
academic performance.
Synthesis of the Review. The influence of social media on Grade 7 students
really have the advantage and disadvantages on improving their academic performance.
Some of them may use it as their sidekick or as a tool to improve their knowledge and
skills. They might also use it in the school for important purposes like, researching topics
and words or discussion that may have been hard for them to understand.
But it is irrefutable that some of them use social media for nonsense activities, like
playing games, surfing into links that provides nothing but sexuality. It's sad, but it is the
reality. And because of doing unnecessary things on social media, it made their academic
performance lower and they wouldn't gain knowledge in school. So all of the Grade 7
students must be educated about the pros and cons of social media.
CHAPTER 3
Methodology
This chapter presents the method and procedure that was applied in the study. It was
organized under the following sub- headings: Research design, Participants, Research
Instrument, Method of Data gathering procedure, and Method of Data Analysis.

8400, Surigao City

Research Design
The research design adapted in this study was a descriptive survey to determine the extent
of influence of social media on Grade 7 learner's academic performance in Northeastern
Mindanao Colleges. This design is considered because it enables the researcher to
generate data through the standardized collection procedures based on highly structured
research Instrument(s) and well-defined study concepts and related variables.
Participants
The participants of the study are composed of chosen 60 Grade 7 students in
NORTHEASTERN MINDANAO COLLEGES (NEMCO). The school has the best,
reliable, and professional teachers, and the school is currently conducting online classes.
So most of the students are being confused about their feelings doing
classes online especially the Grade 7 pupils in the school, and it really affects their
academic performance positively and negatively. The researcher utilized the convenient
random sampling technique to determine the number of participants in Grade 7 pupils of
Northeastern Mindanao Colleges Surigao City for the School Year 2021-2022.

Research Instrument
A well-constructed and self-developed questionnaires was used to get the desired
information from the students. The questionnaire was divided into two sections (And B)
Section A was for collection of information on personal data of respondent's while Section
B consisted of questions that elicits responses from the respondents with response options:
Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD).
Validity of the instrument
The designed questionnaire was submitted to the project supervisor for correction
and approval before distributing it to the respondent's.
Reliability of the Instrument
The reliability of the instrument was determined by using a split half test the odd
and even numbered items too form two halves’. The Pearson correlation coefficient was
used to determine the reliability of the instrument. A coefficient value indicates that the
research Instrument was reliable; hence, it was adopted for getting the desired information
for the study.
Data Gathering Procedure

8400, Surigao City

The researchers will send a letter to conduct the study at Northeastern Mindanao
Colleges (NEMCO) Surigao City to asked permission prior in conducting the study.
Likewise, a separate letter was prepared and address to the participants of the study. Upon
the approval of the person in authority, the researchers personally approached participants
of the study. Every item was explained to make sure the desired data is obtained.After the
questionnaires were retrieved the tallying, tabulation and analysis of the data were
immediately followed.
Data Analysis
To analyze the results gathered in the study, the following statistical were used:
Frequency Count and Percentage. This was used to describe the participant’s profile, sex
and age. Weighted Mean and Standard Deviation. This was used to find out the extent of
the challenges faced among Grade 7 Pupils in the utilization and influence of social media
to their academic learning. Responses from the questionnaires were analyzed using the
descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentage. Descriptive statistics frequency
of counts and percentage were used in analyzing demographic variables and research
questions.
