 INTRODUCTION/ BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
• In March 2020, Metro Manila was placed on lockdown because of the airborne disease, COVID-19.
Infrastructures like schools and malls had to close in order to avoid this disease from spreading even further.
Everything shifted to digital— schools, shopping, businesses and work.
• We are able to gather important information just by a tap on our phones, or even watch a movie in a snap.
However, because of our need for comfort and entertainment; we often forget that too much with something is
never good. Slowly, we find it difficult to let go of our phones and take notice of the changes in the
surroundings. Some had started developing what we call, "FOMO" or the "Fear of Missing Out" (Mertin-Orta,
2020).
• The goal of this study is to determine whether internet over-usage influences a person's study habits when it
comes to time management, academic focus, and educational performance. This study are significant in
enlightening and enriching participants' awareness of the harmful effects of Internet Overuse on their study
habits. In addition, to assist individuals in determining how to manage with the problem, as well as minimizing
the risk on their study habits.
 STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
What is the demographic profile of Grade 11 Eclaro Academy Students with respect to:
1.1. Age;
1.2. Sex:
1.3. Strand;
1.4. Family's Socio-Economic Status?

2. How does Internet Over-usage negatively affects the students study habits, in terms of the following:
2.1. Time Management;
2.2. Academic Focus;
2.3. Educational Performance.

3. What alternative "coping mechanism" can they take to avoid or lessen the risk of internet/digital addiction?

 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1.The Demographic Profile of the Respondents in terms of:
1.1 AGE
SUMMARY
The findings demonstrated that the largest group of respondents was found
in the age bracket of 15 to 17 years old with the frequency of 27 or
percentage of 90. While the smallest of respondents was found in the age
bracket of 18 to 19 years old with the frequency of 3 or 10%.
 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1.The Demographic Profile of the Respondents in terms of:
1.2 SEX
SUMMARY
The group of respondents was made up of Male and Female. Male
respondents have a frequency of 9 or 30% in percentage, while Female
respondents have a frequency of 21 or 70% in percentage.
 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1.The Demographic Profile of the Respondents in terms of:
1.3 STRAND
SUMMARY
The group of respondents was made up from all of the strands at Eclaro
Academy. STEM Strand respondents have a frequency of 5 or 16.67% in
percentage. For the HUMSS respondents have a frequency of 3 or 10% in
percentage. For the ICT respondents have a frequency of 9 or 30% in
percentage. For the HE respondents have a frequency of 8 or 26.67% in
percentage. While for the ABM respondents, have a total frequency of 5 or
16.67% of the total number of population.
 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1.The Demographic Profile of the Respondents in terms of:
1.4.Economic Status
SUMMARY
The largest group of respondents is observed to have a family income
raging 17k below have a frequency of 24 or 80% in percentage. While the
lowest group of respondents is observed to have a monthly family income
ranging from 18k to 109k have a frequency of 6 or 20% in percentage.
 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
2. How does Internet Over-usage negatively affects the students’ study habits, in
terms of the following:

SUMMARY
The excessive use of the internet is affecting students' study habits in three main ways. First,
when it comes to managing their time effectively, students generally agree that internet overuse is
a challenge, as indicated by the high average weighted mean of 4.00. Second, the impact on
Academic Focus is also apparent, with an average weighted mean of 3.95, signifying widespread
agreement among students. Lastly, in terms of Educational Performance, the average weighted
mean of 3.81 suggests a shared belief that excessive internet use is negatively affecting academic
outcomes.
 CONCLUSIONS
For many students, using internet more than 3 hours a day really affected their study planning process. According to
the results the respondents uses the internet for more than three hours, furthermore of the results, Social Media usage
ranked 1 as the most used activity in the internet.

When it comes to Time Management, students who use the internet a lot find themselves procrastinating on school
tasks because they get distracted. They also struggle to complete assignments, end up missing deadlines, and submit
work that's not as good as it could be—all because they lose track of time while using the internet.

Additionally, the study highlighted how Academic Focus is affected. Students mentioned finding it hard to concentrate
on their studies, missing important lectures because of excessive internet use, and trying to do too many things at once
by switching between internet activities and studying.
 CONCLUSIONS
In summary, spending more than three hours a day on the internet, especially on Social Media, creates
challenges for students in managing their time and staying focused on their studies resulting to poor
academic performance—receiving low grades from exams, quiz, assignments or activities. These findings
suggest the need for strategies to help students strike a better balance between online activities and
academic responsibilities.
 RECOMMENDATION
To the Respondents:
1. For those experiencing negative effects on study habits due to excessive internet use, it is
crucial to recognize the impact and seek appropriate help. If you find it challenging to manage
internet overusage on your own, consider reaching out to a professional counselor or your local
community health center. Regular check-ins with a healthcare professional can provide guidance
on effective treatment options, including potential medications.

2. Strategies for Self-Management

2.1 Set boundaries
2.2 Practice digital detox
2.3 Goal Setting
 RECOMMENDATION
To the Parents;
1. If you have children experiencing negative effects on study habits due to internet overusage, it
is essential to guide them through healthy practices:
1.1 Establish Study Routines
1.2 Open Communication
To the Educators;
1. Teachers can play a pivotal role in supporting students dealing with the negative effects of
internet overusage on study habits:
2. Implement Technology Breaks:
3. Promote Digital Literacy:
4. Create a Positive Learning Environment:
 RECOMMENDATION

To the Future Researchers

To enhance existing knowledge, future research should explore new elements contributing
to the negative effects of internet overusage on students' mental health. This could involve
investigating innovative strategies for mitigating the impact on study habits.
