THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
A recent study examines the hypothesis that spending more
time on social media results in less time spent actually interacting
with people in real life. In fact there are two recent studies refute
THEORY/STUDY the “social displacement theory”, both of which were led by
Jeffrey Hall, an associate professor of communication studies at
the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

According to the social displacement theory, you are more

likely to spend less time socializing with people in the real world
the more time you spend on social media.

Participants statistically and focuses on gathering numerical data and
generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a particular
phenomenon. This study utilized a descriptive survey design which

 FINDINGS
1. What percentage of students engage fewer social activities as a result of
being sidetracked by technology?

According to our study, a significant percentage, ranging from 25 to 41.7%, of ACT's senior-
high ICT students are reducing their participation in social activities due to being distracted
Findings or sidetracked by technology.
 
2. What proportion of the 12th grade ICT student week in spent online?

Conclusion time is less than 6.25%. 20% - 33.3 %.% of the grade 12 ICT students' that more than 6-10
hours being online, their weekly online time is between 37.5% and 62.5%. 12% 20% of the
grade 12 ICT students' that spend more than 10 hours being online, their weekly online time
is greater than 62.5%. 22% - 36.7 of the grade 12 ICT students' that spend 2 to 5 hours
being online, their weekly online time is between 12.5% and 31.3%.

3. What percentage 12th grade ICT students are dependent on technology?

The research shows that 12th grade ICT students reveals that an overwhelming

activities.
 CONCLUSION
This study used time spent on social media, frequency of
Findings use, types of use, negative effects on academic or social
life, and difficulty in self-regulating use of social media to
identify social media madness among respondents. The
Conclusion majority of SHS ACT students reported a mild addiction to
technology, according to the survey's findings. Accordingly,
if the majority of SHS ACT students had a mild addiction to
technology, this might imply that they are more likely than
others to experience negative effects of technology use,
such as decreased academic performance or reduced social
interaction.

RECOMMENDATION
Results Based on the findings and conclusion of this study, the following are hereby recommended:
⦁ The respondents should set limits on their social media use, consider setting specific times
or durations for social media use and stick to them. Use tools like phone settings, apps, or
Findings, browser extensions that can help limit time spent on social media platforms.
⦁ The senior high school students of Asian College of Technology - International Educational
Conclusion Foundation should take regular breaks: Plan regular breaks from social media to reduce
dependency and gain perspective. During breaks, engage in other activities like exercise,
hobbies, or socializing with friends and family.
Recommendation ⦁Students should engage more in offline activities, spend more time engaging in activities
that don't involve technology or social media, such as reading a book, playing sports, or
volunteering for a cause.
⦁ Future researchers should expand the sample size to include students from additional
schools in Cebu City may provide a more diverse and representative sample.
REFERENCE ⦁Future researchers may also gain insight into how school culture and environment may
affect social media use and addiction by adding students from various school types, such as
private versus public schools.
⦁ Future researchers should use standardized and validated measures of social media
addiction or problematic social media use to ensure consistency and comparability across
studies.
