    This document discusses the impact of social media on senior high school academic achievers. It references social comparison theory and social learning theory to explain how students compare their performance to peers online and observe study habits on social media. One related study found that increased time on social media correlated with decreased attention spans for students. Another study found social media can enhance writing skills but also cause distraction. A third source argues social media can be educational if used responsibly but is often a source of distraction that negatively impacts academics. Managing time well, valuing education over social media, and utilizing online resources for learning can help students balance social media use.

    THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC


    ACHIEVERS IN GENERAL VITO BELARMINO INTERGRATED NATIONAL HIGH
    SCHOOL

    THEORY:

    According to Festinger in (1954s) The Social Comparison Theory, In the context of social
    media and SHS academic achievers, this theory can explain how students compare their
    academic performance with their peers’ online, influencing their own motivation and self-
    perception. And also According to Bandura in (1977s) The Social Learning Theory. In the
    context of social media and SHS academic achievers, this theory suggests that students may
    observe and model behaviors related to study habits, time management, and academic
    engagement from their peers on social media platforms.

    RELATED STUDY:

    Paul, Baker and Cochran (2012), the time spent on social media was dependent on the
    attention span of the students. Attention span is the amount of time for which students can
    concentrate on their study without getting distracted. They found out that, higher the attention
    span, lower is the time spent by students on social media.

    Yunus and Salehi (2012) pointed out that, social media use enhanced students’ vocabulary
    and writing ability. However, social media can affect their academic performance it can lead
    to distraction in doing their tasks.

    According to Ghulam Murtaza (2023), the influence of social media on students’ ability to
    focus on their studies is a source of debate. Despite the fact that social media may be a source
    of distraction and difficulty, it also presents chances to educate oneself, work together, and
    make new connections. Students may find a middle ground between their social media
    activities and their academic performance by encouraging responsible use, teaching them to
    manage their time well, encouraging them to value themselves, combating cyberbullying, and
    making use of available educational resources. Students need to be aware of the ways in
    which they use the internet and work to make social media an asset to their study rather than
    a distraction.
