THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Academic success is important because it is strongly linked to the
positive outcomes we value. Academic achievement is important for the
successful development of young people in society. Students who do well in
school are better able to make the transition into adulthood and to achieve
occupational and economic success.
The academic performance is defined by students’ reporting of past
semester CGPA/GPA and their expected GPA for the current semester. The
grade point average or GPA is now used by most of the tertiary institutions as
a convenient summary measure of the academic performance of their
students. The GPA is a better measurement because it provides a greater
insight into the relative level of performance of individuals and different group
of students.
Students nowadays get distracted very easily. If they think the subject
is too boring, they would just either sleep or talk to their seatmates. When a
student slept in their class it’s either in the two: 1st he/she is a working
student or 2nd he/she stay up all night just to stalk, chat with friends or
anything they do using their social media accounts. To be specific their
Facebook accounts, student stay up late checking they're account and the
consequences is that they are late or they lack in performance.

What is Facebook? Facebook is a social networking websites and service
where users can post comments, share photographs and link to news or other
interesting content on the web, play games chat live and even stream live
video. Mark Zuckerberg with Edward Saverin who created Facebook in
February, 2004 as a school based social network at Harvard University.
Facebook may be accessed by a large range of desktop, laptops, tablet,
computers and smartphones over the Internet and mobile networks. After
registering to use the site, users can create a user profile indicating their
name, occupation, schools attended and so on. As of April 2016, Facebook
was the most popular social networking site in the world, based on the number
of active user accounts. Facebook classifies users from the ages of 13 to 18
as minors and therefore sets their profiles to share content with friends only.

Significance of the Study
The result of the study will be beneficial to the following people along
the conceivable outcomes referred to:
Teachers: This study may help them know why some of the students lack
academic performance, because of their obsession in using Facebook.
Students: This research may help them know the possible outcomes or
effects of Facebook towards their behaviors and studies. This may help them
to learn time management.
Parents: This research may help them know that their teenage daughter/son
is having a problem in their academic performance if they keep on using
Facebook before school works.
Theoretical Framework
The “Social Information Processing Theory” by Joseph Walther in 1992. “Social
information processing theory (SIP) is an interpersonal communication theory
explaining how people get to know one another online, without nonverbal
cues, and how they develop and manage relationships in the computer-
mediated environment. However, online interpersonal
relationship development may require more time to develop than
traditional face-to-face (FTF) relationships. Once established, online personal
3
relationships may demonstrate the same relational dimensions and qualities
as FTF relationships. Online relationships may help facilitate relationships that
would not have formed in the face-to-face world due
to intergroup differences, geographic challenges, etc.”
The “Media Equation Theory” by Byron Reeves & Clifford Nass of the Center
of the study of Language and Information at Stanford University. Reeves and
Nass were interested in how people interact psychologically and socially with
the new media. Borrowing from the methodology and findings of experimental
psychology and the social sciences, they conducted a 4 year-long series of
experiments whose results all support their astounding conclusion “that an
individual interaction with computers, television, and new media are
fundamentally social and natural, just like interactions in real life.”

Statement of the problem
This study aims to know the effect of Facebook in the Academic
Performance of the Grade 11 Bread and Pastry and Electricity Students in
Pasay City South High School.
The following question will be our guide for the success of this study.
1. What does Facebook bring to the lives of the students?
2. Is Facebook useful for studies of the students?
3. Is the use of Facebook beneficial for students or does it simply distract
them?
Hypothesis
H1: The student who have a high usage on Facebook, can have a higher risk
in his/her academic performance.

Scope and Delimitation
The main purpose of this study is to provide information regarding the
effect of Facebook in the academic performance of Senior High School
Students. This study considers the student's personal information such as
their name, age, sex and section. The researchers limited the study to 50 male
and female Grade 11 Bread and Pastry and Electricity Student in the 1st
semester of school year 2017-2018 in Pasay City South High School. Each
student will be given a questionnaire to answer. The students selected came
from two different sections to avoid prejudice of their perceptions. In order to
assure manageability of the collected data, the questionnaires only included
checklist, and did not include open-ended response item.

Chapter II
Review of Related Literature
“An extensive use of Facebook by students with extraverted personalities
leading to poor academic performance. However, students who are more self-
regulated more effectively control their presence on these platforms. Trust in
people does not affect their presence and interaction on this platform. Yet
students' cognitive absorption with Facebook is only regulated by their self-
control and their personality traits, which determines how much time they
spend on Facebook. Multitasking skills moderate the effect of cognitive
absorption on academic achievement, but they do not impede the time spent,
frequency, or nature of use or their effect on academic results. Although
students' satisfaction with life significantly declined due to cognitive
immersion into Facebook, it appeared not to play an effective role in the
students' academic achievement. However, their performance goal orientation
was shown to be a crucial determinant of their university accomplishments,
which would limit the critical effect of their presence on the Facebook platform.
Discussion and Conclusion: Results support in part earlier conclusions about
personality traits that rule the presence on Facebook. Trust does not impede
on Facebook usage as it determines surfers' use of Internet. Self-regulation
and performance goal orientation characterized the students who are more in
7
control of this social activity. In turn, this prohibits the apparent negative
effect on their academic performance. Results help students to understand the
preliminary consequences of their extensive usage of Facebook and to better
manage their social activities on this platform.” (Rouis, S., Limayem, M., and
Salehi-Sangari, E., 2011. Vol. 9, no 3, pp. 961-994)
According to Newman, (2013) students get distracted from their studies, and
a load of their work makes it hard for them to have focus and to prepare for
their homework or projects. This will to disappointment because of poor
results and it affect achievement. Some studies show the attitudes, interest
of students to the internet and their activities vary with sex, personality traits
and ages.
Ellison (2007) “emphasize on further investigation into the issue to find some
more variables like focus and intervention that may be strongly related to
academic performance. The negative correlation between Facebook usage and
academic outcomes may be justified by some negative academic impact
related in certain ways students use this social medium. He observes that
some specific uses of this social media relate to improved academic
performance while others contribute to lower academic results.”
“Students who use Facebook and hit the books simultaneously found their
multitasking led to 20% lower grades than those of their more focused peers.
8
Facebook – using students also made less money during school from part –
time work, putting in around five hours per week as opposed to 16 hours per
week for a typical, unplugged counterpart. Not only do grades and finances
suffer, but students might actually end up feeling more depressed or lonely.
Almost half of students believe they are sadder than their friends on Facebook,
and 25% of college students have shown signs of severe depression in their
updates at one time or another.” ( O’Dell, J.,2011 April 27)
“The greatest motivating factor for children to use technology in grade 7 and
up is to connect others; to socialize. Their irresistible need to connect with
their peers, coupled with the development of 24/7 accessible technologies,
can make the use of sites like Facebook all consuming. We have concerns of
children and teens growing up in a world where they are wired 24/7 without
a break. For many of our kids there is little or no “down time.” Some have
difficulty disengaging from social life. For some, it even raises their anxiety
level to be without their cell phones for a few hours! We don’t believe this is
healthy for them.” ( Monroe, M.,

Local Literature
Social networking sites let individuals to present themselves, and begin or
keep connections with others. The extremely popular social network site for
Students indifferent levels, Facebook, has already printed a big impact on their
lives. The site can be used towards work-related contexts, romantic
relationship commencement and connecting those with shared interests.
Members may use the site to mingle with people they already know offline or
to find new friends. Facebook permits its users to present themselves in an
Internet profile, build up "friends" who can post comments on each other's
walls, and view each other's page. Facebook associates can also join groups
based on common interests, see what things they have in common, and learn
each other’s hobbies, interests, favorite music, and romantic relationship
status through their pages. But what are behind these facts? What does
Facebook bring to the lives of the members especially to the students? How
does Facebook affect the life of a student? According to studies, Facebook has
an impact to students. Some students are using it for educational purposes.
Students would like to do some online collaboration with classmates. It is said
that Using Facebook boosts students’ self-esteem even more.11
10
They would feel belongingness in the community compared to those who do
not have accounts. It also provides news on what are happening in the real
world and even in their school campuses. On the other hand, negative effects
flourish. It was found that social networking sites has formed a new kind of
addiction which we called the "social media addiction" and it is quite true in
using Facebook. Are you addicted to Facebook? Some would say "yes" and
some would say "no". It depends on the level of cravings. But in the recent
study, it was found that a lot of students are by now addicted to it, to the
extent that their school performance is affected. "Children who spend much
of their time online find it harder to focus in class and have short attention
span " researchers found through the samples that 7 out of 10teachers
believed that their students are becoming obsessed with social media sites
such as Facebook. Their students tend to study while using Facebook and it
shows that they got 20% lower grades. Facebook-using students even
perform task (projects or assignments) without completion for the reason that
they spend more time scrolling down on their newsfeed to see updates about
their friends and look up for their notifications rather than finishing their school
tasks. Aside that Facebook affects students’ academic performance; it also
has an effect on students’ emotional health. Yes, students feel connected to
others but study shows that they manifest depression through seeing their
status updates. Some would utilize the site to express what they feel towards
their enemy in school or even outside the campus. They would blurt out
11
through posting status that would target their opponent just to hurt their
feelings. With the rampant use of all the social networking sites, students are
coming loose to the real associates. Facebook chats and posts would make
them busy nowadays. They12
may be connected to many people but they somehow disconnect with the
important aspects of their lives and one of those is education. The belief of
meeting people face to face seems very odd. Students prefer to send and
receive instant messages or post messages through Facebook. Many other
elements could be the reason for the inattention in studies of students. But
somehow social networks like Facebook have a negative impact on the
education of some students. Facebook could make students vain for better or
for worse and it is the parents' obligation to watch and guide their children to
get the utmost good benefits from Facebook.
How do Social Networking Sites Affect Students?
Most of the time, students spend their time hanging around the web with the
popular social networking sites. Everyday more and more people are getting
more attached to Social Networking sites as it is now moving in as one of the
primary means of communication of people. Facebook, Twitter, and Google+
were only a few of the tons of the sites out there that caters the need of
people. Through Social Media, people has the chance to combine work and
12
relaxation. However, did you ever encounter the question. How do Facebook
affect your life? And what is your answer?
What are the benefits a student can get by using Social Networking Sites?
Here are some points:
•Get in touch with your loved ones, relatives, and friends
•Get to know the latest news and issues
•Participate in online discussions
•Communicate with your classmates
•Be reminded of assignments, projects, and quizzes
•Conduct group meetings for group projects and announcements
•Get the latest status and messages of your friends through the News Feed
Obviously, social sites have a lot of uses for people with their exceptional
functionalities. Even without meeting in person, people can now interact with
each other and make a productive gathering. However, despite the fact that
Social Media are extremely helpful, it is still not perfect because there are still
some negative points we can encounter while using it. Some of the bad effects
are:
•It invades your privacy
•It distracts you in everything you do
13
•Too much attachment to it may lead to spending too much time in it without
doing your tasks14
•There are some wrong information released by unauthorized people that
causes fear The mentioned good and bad effects were only partial and it also
varies depending on the person involved. Though some people still makes the
best out of Social Media, we can’t still forget the negative side of it. Maybe,
we should just ask ourselves on what is our current position in the Social
Networking World. The ever-growing technology helps us make our life easier
and better but we must be sure that we should treat it with moderation.
Facebook’s Impact on Student Grades
How does Facebook activity affect a student’s grades? Reynol Junco, a
professor at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania, recently set out to
determine exactly that. Mr. Junco assembled a sample of nearly 2,000 college
students who self-reported details of their Facebook use: not just total time
spent on the social networking site, but specific actions taken such as
commenting, chatting, uploading photos or seeing what others are doing —
“lurking,” as Mr. Junco calls it. The study then stacked its subjects’ overall
G.P.A.’s against that Facebook activity. Students’ high school G.P.A.’s —
powerful predictors of college grades — were included in the study as control
variables, to establish subjects’ baseline academic ability and ensure no
dramatic swings in G.P.A. occurred that might belie other factors at play.
14
According to the outcome student academic performance is affected the more
they use Facebook Social platforms are mainly used by student for Socializing
activities. Rather than Academic purpose, (Oye,2012). In addition (Oye, 2012)
Said that majority of student feel that social platforms have positive impact
on academic growth. In other research conducted by Shana (2012) It was
certain that student use platforms mainly for chatting and making friends.
“The consequences of internet and social platforms on student academic
growth” a study than by young (2006) It seem that internet has spread its
wings to reach teenager’s School life. It was also observed by young that
students are more dependent in on internet to access entertainment.
Additionally, young said that internet though take a lot of time, and have less.
Impact on students It was observed by Wang (2011). That impact of social
platform rest on the degree of the usage Jeong (2005) observe that internet
Addiction is significantly and negatively related to student academic growth
as well as emotional attributes. Seo (2004) confirm Jeong statement when he
opined that the negative influence of internet is only on excessive users and
not on all users. Rather (2013 pp 69) over that: the social platforms which
are being used today with great desire and enthusiasm, have altered the way
of using. Internets in this modern age by defining online tools and utilities
which allow users for communication, participation and collaborative of
information online today’s young generation specially teens and youth are
using technology through innovative ways due to which they are referred to
15
as millennial and have changed the way they think work and communicate
even though they are in formative years of their life. Today’s youth because
of social platforms have become technology addicts and are quite with drawn
According to data gathered from several sources by [Link],
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
[Link], 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. And 20% more of Facebook-using students (as
compared to students who didn't use Facebook) said they felt connected to
their school and community.
Using Facebook for log time causes low grades in studies as students give
more time and attention to their Facebook. Some students think that using
Facebook will not affect their studies and they came to know about the reality
when they get their results. Most of the times students keep using Facebook
and forget to study even they don’t care about their lunch and dinner. They
make friends and chat with them. It is common trend among Facebook users
that they make fake accounts and trap others. According to research’s, face
16
book has been considered a great cause in breakups among many relations.
Students forget about their other duties and start giving all the time in
pursuing, what will be the next on Facebook by them or their friends. This is
really not good for students as they must show more concern to their prior
duties, their family and relatives. Access of everything is bad, while using
Facebook students should keep in mind the time limit and other works and
responsibilities which hold more importance to their life than using Facebook.
O' Dell(2011)
Social media consists of online technologies, practicing activities or societies
that people use to generate content and share thoughts, visions, experiences
and viewpoints with each other (Television Bureau of Advertising, Inc., 2009).
The word social networking is known as the alliance of individuals into specific
set of potential groups or subdivisions. Social networking allows individuals to
express their thoughts to other users. Social networking is the leader in
promoting digital journalism (Thuseethan, S. & Vasanthapriyan, S., 2014).
Social network used for several purposes like promoting or distributing the
news contents all over the world.
Facebook is completely a communication tool for users’. Facebook is used by
the huge number of undergraduate students and graduate students on a
regular basis. There is huge amount of professional and common interest in
the effects of social networking on undergraduate student development and
achievement (Abramson, 2011). Students use Facebook in various ways to
17
accomplish a wide range of social responsibilities and just for fun too. In
university students’ perspective the widespread social media website is
Facebook,
Social networking sites and Facebook socializing via the internet has become
an increasingly important part of young adult life (Gemmill & Peterson, 2006).
Most of the high schools, colleges and universities get connected by internet
encompass individuals who are looking forward to mingle other individuals
with same point of interest, to gather and share knowledge and first-hand
information. Social networking websites act like an online society of users who
is familiar with internet.
The increase of Facebook usage among youths has raised concern about
Facebook addiction. This is because addictive behaviour is a behaviour that is
excessive, compulsive, uncontrollable and psychologically or physically
destructive (Lemmens, Valkenburg & Peter, 2009). A report shows that 48%
of youths between the ages of 18 and 34 years old log
onto Facebook once they wake up and 28% of them check Facebook on their
mobile phone even before getting out of the bed (Socialbakers, 2011). This
manifests a kind of Facebook addiction that demonstrates an inability to live
or function without it. Facebook addiction has adverse effects on youths such
18
as deterioration in academic performance (e.g: Young,1998; Kirschner &
Karpinski 2010), incompetence to interact in offline social settings (e.g: Chak
& Leung, 2004), lack of self-esteem (e.g: Buhrmester & Prager, 1995;
Valkenburg, Jochen & Schouten, 2006) and physical problems (e.g:
Chou,2001; Kraut & Seay, 2007).
Lin and Tsai (2002) found that those who are dependent on Internet spend
more time on Internet and are motivated by sensation seeking reasons.
Another study by Chou and Hsiao (2000) found that Internet dependents seek
entertainment, interaction and satisfaction in Internet use. Meanwhile, Liu,
Cheung and Lee (2010) found that Twiter users tweet for four types of
gratifications namely content, social, process and technology gratifications.
Sheeren N. Zulkefly & Rozumah Baharuddin (2009) found that adolescents
who spend more time on mobile phone were more likely to be addicted phone

method of collecting data and statistical treatment of data.
Research Design
This research aims to know the effect of Facebook in the Academic
Performance of students. This study incorporates a quantitative approach and
Descriptive type of research particularly the correlational type of design.
Quantitative methods emphasize object measurements and the statistical,
mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through poll,
questionnaire, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data
using computational techniques. Quantitative research focuses on gathering
numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a
particular phenomenon. It included experiments, surveys and statistical
analysis, among others.
20
Research Instrument
The researchers used a survey like of Questionnaire, this questionnaire is the
main instrument used by the researchers to gather permanent data on the
effect of Facebook in the Academic Performance of students. A total of 14
items were used to measure their perception. Out of these, the questionnaire
consists of two parts. The first part is the demographic profile/ information of
the respondents such as name (optional), age, gender, strand for filling out
the questionnaire and the closed ended questions were the items are
Dichotomous and enumeration. The second part were the items being rate by
means of scale from 5 – strongly agree, 4 – agree, 3 – neither agree, nor
disagree, 2 – disagree, 1 – strongly disagree.
21
