CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

A. INTRODUCTION

As we all know, social media is widely used by professionals across a wide range of

fields and industries. Its inclusion into the classroom may help students feel more at

ease and familiarity when approaching the start of their career. It can also enhance

class interaction by encouraging collaboration of differing learning styles. Although

it’s true, when using technologies, social media is always present. Many people

perceive technologies and social media as a bad influence for students; many

youngsters and even adults are addicted to it.

Many parents blame their children’s phones and computers for the smallest

inconvenience, they will also blame it when their children get a low grades. But they

failed to think that these factors have much greater advantages to academics. To some

people, this pandemic was for a good cause, to some people, it’s not even close. In

this study, we will determine whether there's any correlation between social media

and students' academic performances amidst the pandemic.

In the second week of May, 2020, the World Health Organization announced the

existence of a deadly virus named Covid-19. Going on forward, to protect its citizens

the Government issued an Enhanced Community Quarantine; wherein the people are

limited from going out and interacting with one another. The people are advised to

stay inside their homes. From then on many have changed ways, for example:

students no longer able to go to school physically to meet their classmates and

teachers, instead, students are now using SNSs as their form of communication.

Teachers held classes online.

SNS’s have a lot of disadvantages to students especially in their academic

performances amidst pandemic. Some would say that SNS helps, while some would

disagree. SNS helps to improve the performance of student through interaction online

(Morallo, I, 2011). Facebook, messenger, twitter, and Instagram, These are the top 3

social media sites(Chua, J, 2019). These 3 sites have a lot of disadvantages to

students in their academic performances, because these 3 sites, our time is being

consumed here because nothing good is happening in our studies, sometimes, this site

help us to communicate and socialize people.

People used to think that technology normally provides a bad influence to the average

results of the students, but this study aims to provide substantial evidence and that we

want to let everyone know that technology doesn't affect the averages of the senior

high school students.

C. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

After the Study, we should be able to answer the following:

 What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of;

o Sex

o Age

o Academic performance

 What are the factors that are affecting the students’ academic performance in

terms of social media usage during and after pandemic?

 Is there a relationship between the academic performance of the students and

their usage of social media, during and after pandemic?

D. HYPOTHESIS

Ho: there is no significance difference between the relationship of students’

academic performances and their usage of social media during and after

pandemic.

Ha: there is a significance difference between the relationship of students’

academic performances and their usage of social media during pandemic.

E. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The objective of this study is to compare and contrast the resulting academic

averages of students and the affecting factors it involves during pandemic.

There is a conflict between the opinions of some students and parents. Some would

argue that social media is a hindrance and a factors that helps students’ increase in

distraction.

Social media is one of the simplest forms of communication. It is used for so many

activities such as joining discussion, forums and looking up certain information.

Using social media can provide students with many practical online skills (e.g.

information gathering and effective communication). It had become easier to connect

with people, may it be strangers or someone familiar; COVID-19 had youngsters

bored and would want to be entertained. On the other hand, they become addicted;

they start to neglect their responsibilities. And since students are now responsible for

their own education and time management, Students’ personal lives have grown

increasingly intertwined with their academics. Most people would say that social

media is a bad influence for their children. This study will prove them otherwise: this

will also provide information that will be useful in the near future where the history

will be discussed.

F. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The research investigates the Effects of Social Media to Student's Academic

Performances amidst Pandemic. Respondents of this study are only applicable to the

Grade 11 students of Roxas Stand Alone Senior High School (RSASHS) Roxas,

Isabela. We chose them to be our respondents because they are the beneficiaries of

our study.

REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

A. RELATED LITERATURE.

local

As attested by Jinky Marie (2019), et.al. Facebook/messenger, twitter, and Instagram

are the three superlative social media applications used by the students. The impacts

and benefits of social media to young people’s values bare significant close

connection for students, particularly for academic pretentions and existing courses.

The effects of the Internet and social capital on students' academic performance

demonstrate how the Internet has a greater impact on adolescent students' school

lives (Abrenica J. 2021).

foreign

] Shabnoor Siddiqui et al. (2016) report that pupils use social media. Instead of

learning how to utilize these media for good, students should be taught how to use

this instrument more effectively in educational contexts. Social networking has

helped students collaborate more effectively and quickly.

B. RELATED STUDIES

The students’ academic performance suggests that Social Networking Service

contributes to enhance the performance through online interaction with school

assignments, said Isaac M. Morallo (2011). and; the aftermath divulge no significant

relationship between the Social Networking Service use, and the student’s academic

performance.

Depression and social media use do not influence academic performance (Salisi J. C.

(2019). The effects of the Internet and social capital on students' academic

performance demonstrate how the Internet has a greater impact on adolescent

students' school lives (Abrenica

Despite the benefits of student involvement in research projects, the study indicated

that if students do not use social media networks, it may have a negative impact on

their academic success, according to Jeffrey Mingle and Musah Adams (2015).

Social media networks provide several benefits.

Students frequently utilize social networking websites and apps, according to Azizi et

al. (2019). As part of their daily lives, they spend a significant amount of time on

these websites. University students are among those who use social networking the

most frequently among the different age groups of students, according to studies.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. RESEARCH DESIGN

This study aims to provide meaningful evidence to know the Effects of Social

media’s to academic performances of students during pandemic. Hence, why the

researchers used the survey method, wherein there will be carefully chosen

questionnaires to be answered face to face by the samples chosen during the survey,

for us to gather data effectively.

B. RESPONDENTS AND SAMPLING PROCEDURE

The research was conducted at RSASHS ( Roxas, Stand-Alone, Senior High School)

whilst the data gathered was from the senior high school students specifically, from

room N, grade 12 Sapphire; students that used to be section topaz. San Antonio,

Roxas, Isabela is where the researchers want the research to be conducted.

The respondents are the students of RSASHS (Roxas, Stand-Alone, Senior High

School), grade 12 students, Section Sapphire; with a total population of 48 students.

The respondents are selected through total enumeration of the students of section

topaz that are now section sapphire; that is, transferees and drop outs will not be

included to this study.

C. DATA GATHERING METHODS AND PROCEDURE

The materials that the researchers used are a checklist and survey forms where it is

used to take note of information on data that will be gathered during the survey. The

first thing that the researchers did was to reach out to the students under the advisory

of Ms. Jade Quilang in the year 2021-2022; the researchers asked for permission to

the principal’s office to gather data using the cards of the respondents, ask the

respondents to answer the survey while we reach out to Ma’am Jade Quilang for their

pandemic 1st Quarter-mean average Grades (Grade 11, 1st Quarter) and compare it to

their pre pandemic 1st Quarter mean average—or in simple terms, Their Grade 12,

1st Quarter mean average.We gathered their average grades in their first quarter and

first semester during grade 11 and compare it to their grade 12 first quarter and first

semester average grade.

D. DATA ANALYSIS

To identify the results of the comparison between the 1st Quarter average grades of

the respondents on pre pandemic (G12) and pandemic (G11) grades, we need to

compute for the frequency and percentage. We would also need to identify the mean.

Using the computed frequency we will be able to compare the respondents’ pre

pandemic average and pandemic average to identify whether there’s a significant

difference between the two whilst considering the factors that’s affecting the

students’ focus in terms of social media usage of the students.
