This study aimed to determine the Impact of Social Networking Sites on

Academic Performance in Science of Senior High School Students to know the proper

uses of Social Networking Sites. Social Networking Sites evidently have a lot of positive

effects but in the other hand, they also have its negative impacts.

The respondents of this research was from CSTC College of Sciences,

Technology and Communications Province of Quezon, Lucena City Region-IV-A. The

researchers used a Purposive sampling technique in which researchers relies on his or her

own judgment when to choose respondents of the population to participate in the study. It

consist of were required 55 respondents that stand for 30% of 275 students that only from

CSTC-Lucena. They will have the responsibility to answer the following questionnaires

made by the researchers.

vi
 The study employed descriptive designs. The instrument used was a checklist type

of questionnaire while the statistical treatments employed were weighted arithmetic

mean, frequency and percentage distribution, Pearson -r and T-test.

Based on the study, the highest indicator according to the statement on the

questionnaire under communication was that the usage of social networking sites help the

students more in communicating with other people from other countries and it has an

equivalent total weighted mean of 3.35, while the lowest indicator has a 2.69 total

weighted mean based on the answer of the respondents that their relationship to their

family is much better after using Social Networking Sites. According to the statement

under information, the highest indicator was students can get information from Google

and it gained a total weighted mean of 3.67 and the lowest indicator stated that the social

networking sites was safe to use in searching information that has a total weighted mean

of 2.80.

The students had a high impact of social networking sites in terms of

communication and information which means students can communicate to others.

Students were good to get some information in Google and social networking sites are

safe to use in searching information which means the students have high impact of social

networking sites in terms of information. Most of the respondents were proficient which

means that they have high grade in academic performance in Science. The gathered

results presented that there is significant relationship between the academic performance

and usage level of social networking sites.

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

The internet has become a primary vehicle for many individuals` day-to-

day activities, with the advent and historic growth of technologies such as electronic mail

(e-mail), instant messaging, online newspaper, eBooks, research databases, Weblogs,

eCommerce, and social networking sites and it is an increasing rarity for an individual in

the us to go even a day without some sort of interaction using an internet technology

(Horrigan, 2015). This means that social networking sites helped people on their everyday

life like communicating to other people and getting information. Through social

networking sites, people can easily expressed their insights and emotion to everyone. SNS

(Social Networking Sites) has also charged the way people socialize and interact. It not

only helped people stay in touch with existing new alliances. SNS has a big role specifically

in Science it is such a great help to the used studies by the used of video, getting information

and online tutorials.

A social networking site is an online platform that allows users to create a public

profile and interact with other users on the websites. Social networking sites usually have

a new user on the input a list of people with whom they share a connection and then allow

the people in the list to confirm or deny the connection. After connections were established,

the new user can search the network of connections to make more connections. Social

network are the main application under the umbrella of social media which comes with the

1
web 2.0 eras. Social Media is the fastest growing web application in the 21 st century. The

wide nature of application like Wikis, video streaming and application and social networks

make it the phenomenon of the century. Facebook users topped all social media

applications with over 2.27 billion active users in 2018 followed by twitter with 500 million

users.

According to Social network is helpful and convenient for discussions and

communication using social network as an informal learning tool (Hamat, Embi and

Hassan, 2012). On the other hand, the use of information and communication technology

(ICT) is an important factor that opened doors for distant learning and remote access of

educational material. The influence of social media usage on academic performance of

student in tertiary institutions, using Tamale Polytechnic as a case study (Al Hassan and

Abukari, 2015).

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the social networking site

affect the academic performance of the Senior High School students. This research

explained the background of the study, statement of the research problem, purpose of

research, importance of the research, limitation of research, definition of terms and

summary.

Background of the Study

According to Dr. Nomar Alviar of UP Manila National Teacher Training Center

for the Health Professions (2017), maximizing social media is crucial in transmitting and

constructing knowledge. Among the processes that social media can promote are feedback,

interactivity, integration and reflection. Social Networking Sites have been widely used

nowadays in our developing country. Most social networking sites were used to and

provide interactions with different people who has the same interests, likes and even real-

life connections. Nowadays, social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

and others were attracting millions of people around the world especially the students SNS

had been the source of happiness for many students. Social Networking Sites have been a

trending topic nowadays and became viral among teenagers. Especially to the teenagers,

many were associated to social networking sites. Since teenagers wanted always to be in

with what is on-trend. Even education has been influenced by social networking sites

because the goal of education was immersed, and teachers were making far into the world

of online social networking sites for educational purposes.

Social Networking Site is the connection of friends or family together which allow

you to communicate easily. Lately, online social networking sites engaged students and

needed to be studied as distributors of information. The social networking site was being

used in various ways like blogging, chatting and forming communities or groups. Social

Networking Sites is a form of communication platforms that have been growing over the

past decade. It was a great way to produce good affiliation with your customers and positive

3
publicity around the internet. The most influential and popular networking sites are

Facebook, Twitter and YouTube which was affecting to academic performance in Science

of Senior High Students. According to Harrath and Alobaidy (2016) on the students of the

Arabian Gulf that there is a possitive impact of this technology at their academic level

through the useful and optimal use of social networking sites. This study aimed to give

advice and guidance to the future researcher including the students on how to properly use

the Social Networking Sites and its effect to Academic performance of Senior High School

students.

Theoretical Framework

Social Networking Theory is the study of how people, organization or groups

interact with others inside their network. Understanding the theory was easier when you

examine the individual pieces starting with the largest element, networks, and working

down to the smallest element, the actor.

Social Networking Sites Theory viewed social relationship in terms of nodes and

ties. Nodes are the individual actors within the network, and ties are the relationship

between the actors. There can be many kind of ties between the nodes. In its most simple

form, a social network was a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied.

The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. This

concept was often play in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties

are the lines.

4
 The power of Social Network Theory rooted from its difference from traditional

sociological studies, which assumed the attributes of individual actors – whether they are

friendly or unfriendly, smart or dumb, etc.

Conceptual Paradigm

To easily understand the process of the study, the research paradigm was shown

below.

• Questionnaires about Usage level of Social Networking Sites in terms of:

• 1. Communication
• 2. Information
Input

on the Academic Performance in Science with the Aim to Develop a Propose
Infomercial

The Figure 1 illustrated conceptual paradigm describing the impact of social

networking sites on the academic performance in Science aimed to develop a propose

infomercial using the INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT model. The input of the study

5
consisted of the questionnaires about usage level of social networking sites in terms of

communication & information and the academic performance in Science of the selected

students from first quarter and second quarter grade. The process demonstrated the steps

that the researchers take in order to make the research successful. It included

conceptualizing a questionnaire, validating the questionnaire, distribution of

questionnaire, correlating the data and the academic performance of Grade 11 students,

analyzation of data and lastly, interpretation of data. In the output of the study, it presented

the output of the study which is the infomercial that aims to inform the possible effects of

Social Networking Sites (SNS) to the Academic Performance in Science.

Statement of the Problem

This research with a title “Impact of Social Networking Sites on Academic

Performance in Science: Basis for a Propose Infomercial.” This study aimed to answer the

following questions:

1. What is the impact of social networking sites on academic performance in science in

terms of:

1.1 Communication; and

1.2 Information?

2. What is the academic performance of senior high students in Science in terms of?

2.1 First Quarter

2.2 Second Quarter

6
3. Is there a significant relationship between the factors affect by Social Networking Sites

and the Academic Performance of the students in Science?

Hypothesis

In order to answer the questions of the study and in the light of theoretical and

practical justification and the results of the previous studies, null hypothesis was

formulated by the researcher:

There is no significant relationship between the usage of Social Networking Sites

and the Science Performance of Senior High School Students.

Significance of the Study

This study was a significant endeavor in providing the proper usage of Social

Networking Sites. Social Networking Sites evidently have a lot of positive effect but in the

other hand they also have their negative impacts.

The result of the study had a great benefit to the following:

To the Students

The result will provide the students with some knowledge regarding Social

Networking Sites and its effects to the students. This will also guide the students on how

the properly use the social networking sites.

7
To the Teachers

This study will inform to the teachers about the issues regarding the Social Networking

Sites and its role in the academic performance of their students. This will help to improve

the academic performance of their students.

Performance in Science: Basis for a Propose Infomercial.”

8
 This study was conducted in CSTC (College of Sciences Technology and

Communication, Inc.) which is located at 28 Capitol Road, Purok Camia Brgy. 10, Lucena

City.

The said school was composed of 275 students with six strands with eleven blocks

and it has 15 teachers, 5 non-teaching teachers and 4 staffs. The students in CSTC (College

of Sciences Technology and Communication, Inc.) was used by the researchers as their

respondents for this study. The researchers used a Purposive Sampling Technique in order

to choose 55 student as their research instruments. The researchers gathered 55 respondents

or the 30% of 275 students from CSTC Lucena would answered the following self-made

questionnaires by the researchers. This study was limited only to the respondents of Senior

High School of CSTC Lucena.

The researchers created an Infomercial as their output aimed which aimed to give

information and tip on how to use Social Networking Sites

The researcher used different statistical treatment in gathering the data such as:

weighted arithmetic mean, Pearson Correlation, and T-test. Through the use of this, it

helped the researchers to know the impacts of Social Networking Sites on the students’

academic performance.

Definition of Terms

The researchers made a definition of terms in order to understand the following

terms and to know the meaning of a certain words in this research study. The type of usage

used by the researchers was a conceptual definition in which it came from the dictionary.

9
Academic Performance-is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has

achieved their short or long-term educational goals.

Information-is a facts provided or learned about something or someone.

Science-is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the

structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and

experiment.

Senior High School-is a secondary school typically comprising the three highest grades.

Social Networking Sites-is an online platform which people use to build social networks

or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests,

activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.

According to Dearborn (2015), communication channel is very popular,

extremely fast as proven to be highly effective in Academic Performance. It explained

that there are high percentage and proven in learning to easily communicate with other. It

explained that there are correlation of Social Networking Sites to the way of

communicating with other people of the students.

According to Selwyn (2015), Social Media undoubtedly generate new

opportunities to engaged students in higher education as they are effective at connecting

people and facilitating the exchange of information. It explained that more opportunity in

using Social Networking Sites to have a credible and legit information to be more good in

connecting with other.

According to Helou, Adam Mahamat (2015), attempted to obtain students`

perceptions on how their use of social networking sites influences their academic

performance and conducted a preliminary survey of a group of Malaysian University

11
student to gather initial findings on their use of social networking sites and its influence on

their academic performance. Somehow, this study found that majority of respondents

agreed that social networking sites have a positive impact on their academic performance.

This study tackled about the perceptions of the student and how they use social networking

sites in academic field.

According to Nee, Chee Ken (2015) investigated the impacts of incorporating

Edmodo is educational network, into a classroom setting on the academic achievement of

Biology students based on the three types of conceptual level. Meaning to say, this study

investigated the impact incorporating in educational network, and it based on the three

types of conceptual levels.

According to Sharma and Vishvakarma (2015) presented a review on the effect of

social networking sites on academic performance. It reviewed the impact of social

networking sites (SNSs) on academic performance. The research provided the positive as

well as the negative effect of social media on academic performance of students. It asserted

that the social media are sometimes used for educational purposes and sometimes for non-

academic purpose, which adversely impact on the academic performance of the students.

This study presented a review on the effect of social networking sites on academic

performance, it`s reviewed the impact of social networking sites and its provide the provide

According Catipay (2018) the more they utilized the social media addiction of the

students do not significantly influence their study habits of Senior High School Students.

The more they utilized the social media addiction of the students do not significantly

influenced their study habits of Senior High Students and also to their academic

performances.

According to Dr. Nomar Alviar of UP Manila National Teacher Training Center

for the Health Professions (2017), maximizing social media is crucial in transmitting and

constructing knowledge. Among the processes, social media promoted feedback,

interactivity, integration and reflection. The literature stated that maximizing social media

is crucial in constructing knowledge.

According to Obar (2015) social media has evolved from its primary function of

connecting family and friends from across the world to become sites of information and

action similar studies claiming social media`s potential to organizations that are into forms

of activism have also reflected the same sentiments. It stated that social media has evolved

from its primary function of connecting family and friends from across the world. The

social networking site is very important in the vital life of everyone in terms of

communication and interaction not only in a certain place but also to others.

13
 According to Torrevillas (2017) don’t believe everything you read in media. Such a

pity that those words are being taken to heart and mind, as they are the opposite of what

was drummed into our heads by our mentor, i.e Journalism is the purveyor of truth possible

transformation. The statement don`t believed everything that you read in media because

not all of that is true and valid because some of it are fake news or opinions.

According to Junco (2015), discusses the excessive use of social media tools by college

students has led to debate over whether or not it has changed the very shape and structure

of students' social behavior and academic performance. It discussed the excessive use of

social media tools by college students has led to debate.

According to Vujatovic (2018) Facebook has negative effect on the academic

performance. The Britain School study which was about the Facebook and its effect.

Testing was done for a period of three months, the first two months access to Facebook

was allowed. Based on this study, Facebook has negative effect on the academic

performance and testing was done for a period of three months and its access to Facebook

was allowed.

According to Harrath and Alobaidy (2016) on the students of the Arabian Gulf that

there is a possitive impact of this technology at their academic level through the useful and

optimal use of social networking sites. Analysis study showed that students are aware of

and have a good level of awareness of using social networks for academic purposes. This

14
study stated that these are positive impacts of this technology and its useful and optimal

use of social networking sites. This study showed that students were aware of and have a

good level of awareness of using social networks for academic purposes.

According to Wurzburg (2018), first quarter grades set the first standard of the

student. It explained that the reason why students got higher grade in second quarter even

if they use social networking sites.

According to AFP Reaxnews (2018), new research has found that when it comes to

school performance, social media has little influence in a student’s grades. It explained that

social networking sites has a help to the students to get higher grades after using social

networking sites.

According to Apuke (2016), in many parts of the world today, students` academic

performance is facing neglection and challenges, since the advent of social networking

sites because they dedicate more attention to social media than they do with their studies.

According to this study, student academic performance was facing neglection and

challenges that indicated more attention to social media than they are doing with their

studies.

According to Peter (2015) However the darker side within the technological

evolution has resulted in dilemmas, such as the setback of real values of life, especially

among students who form the majority of users interacting through social networking sites.

This study tackled about the darker side of the technological evolution which resulted

According to Olivia (2016) stated that colleges and universities embraced social

media and realizing the potential power and implications. Based on the study, it stated that

colleges and universities embraced social media to help the students in their school works.

According to Livingstone (2015) stated that affinity for self-presentation is often a

mark of adolescence, and SNS use has made it possible for one`s own display of personality

to reach a larger audience than previous generation. This study stated that the social

networking sites helped individuals to become mature but it is depend also in their

personality.

According to Madden (2015) The utilization of facebook has been found to increase

users` sense of personal belonging among college students and also, this sense of belonging

has in and of itself been positively correlated with academic performance. The utilization

of Facebook found that the users’ sense of personal belonging among college students has

increased and it’s been positively correlated with academic performance.

16
 According to Acquisti (2015) argue that users may be putting themselves at risk

both offline (e.g., stalking) and online (e.g., identify theft).In this study, social networking

and social media were used interchangeably. Social networking has only one goal. This

study stated that the user of social networking sites was putting themselves at risk.

Synthesis

The above mentioned literatures and studies served the research study entitled

“Impact of Social Networking Sites on Academic Performance in Science: Basis for a

Proposed Infomercial”. Al Hassan and Abukari (2015) said that studied the influence of

social media usage on academic performance of student in tertiary institutions using

Tamale Polytechnic as a case study. This study aimed at investigating the type of social

network sites and devices used by students and effect of the use of social network on

student academic performances. Fimilarly, to Helou, Adam Mahamat (2015) attempted to

obtain students` perceptions on how using of social networking sites influenced their

academic performance and conducted a preliminary survey of a group of Malaysian

University student to gather initial findings. This study found that majority of respondents

agreed that social networking sites have a positive impact on their academic performance.

Moreover, according to Catipay (2018), the more they utilized the social media addiction

of the students do not significantly influence their study habits of Senior High School

Students. On the other hand Dr. Nomar of UP Manila National Teacher Training Center

for the Health Professions (2017) stated that maximizing social media is crucial in

17
transmitting and constructing knowledge. Among the process, social media promoted

feedback, interactivity, integration and reflection.

 This study was conducted in CSTC (College of Sciences Technology and

Communication, Inc.) which is located at 28 Capitol Road, Purok Camia Brgy. 10, Lucena

City. We chose this school for the reason that it suited to our research and to accomplish

the research as soon as possible. We chose this school to make our survey easier and our

respondent is from the CSTC-Lucena. The researchers wanted to help the institution to

allow the students to use the social networking sites for academic purposes only.

Respondents of the Study

The selected respondents of this research were the students from College of

Science, Technology and Communication Inc.(CSTC). The overall population of Senior

High School Students in CSTC had five questionnaires for each strand; STEM, HUMMS,

ABM, H.E, I.C.T, and I.A. The researchers used a purposive sampling which researchers

relied on their own judgement when choosing members of population to participate in the

study. This made it further suitable for this research than any other form of sampling and

respondents picked randomly.

Research Instrument

The researchers used an instrument, a self-made questionnaire in form of checklist

to gather the needed data for the student’s profile. The draft of the questionnaire was drawn

out based on the researcher readings, professional literature and published thesis relevant

to the study.

The questionnaire-checklist was the main instrument used in data gathering. The

questionnaire has two parts. The questionnaire consisted of statement to determine the

First, the researcher conceptualized their questionnaire base on their insights. It

used critical thinking in writing questionnaire to make more valid and easy to understand

to respondents of this study. The researchers prepared the instruments to be used through

readings of the questionnaire-checklist of other studies just to obtain some ideas. The

respondents were given 10-15 minutes to accomplish the forms to prevent them from

giving cursory responses. The researchers conducted a survey of 55 students from various

strands of CSTC-Lucena who are the respondents of this research. The researchers used a

likert scale as a way of getting data on the impact of social networking sites on the student’s

academic performance that would need of researchers for this study.

Second, they validating their questionnaire to the professional teacher to knew the

quality of their questionnaire. The researcher validated it on time to get information or data

for this research.

Third, the researcher distributed questionnaire to the 55 respondents of this study.

After distribution of the questionnaires, there searchers computed correlation on the

data to the academic performance of the students. The researcher used formula in getting

the correlation of their study to the data gathered from the respondents. The researchers

went from one section to another on collecting the accomplished questionnaire.

21
 Then, the researcher came up in analyzing the data gathered from the respondents

and know that Social Networking Sites affect the Academic Performance of the students.

It was analyzed the data to get the significance relationship between the variables of this

research.

And lastly, the researchers interpreted the data given from the respondents.

Statistical Treatment

The researchers used the following formula to distinguish, analyze, and interpret

the gathered data.

The statistical treatment employed in this research study were: (a) weighted

arithmetic mean; (b) frequency and percentage distribution; (c) Pearson correlation and

significance test.

For sub-problem one, the researchers used the Weighted Arithmetic Mean to

determine the level of self-efficacy of the respondents in terms of communication and

information. It has done using this formula:

4𝑓+3𝑓+2𝑓+𝑓
WM= 𝑛

Where in:

WM= Weighted mean

f = frequency

n = No. of respondents

22
In order to assess the usage level of SNS in communication the researchers used the
following standard:
WEIGHTED MEAN RANGE Verbal Description
4 3.26- 4.00 Strongly Agree (SA)
3 2.51- 3.25 Agree (A)
2 1.76-2.50 Disagree (D)
1 1.00-1.75 Strongly Disagree (SD)

For sub-problem two, frequency and percentage distribution was used by the

researchers to determine the percentage of the academic performance of the respondents in

Science. It has done using this formula:

𝑓
P= 𝑥 100
𝑛

Where in:

P= Percentage

f = frequency

n = No. of respondents

For sub-problem three, the researchers used Pearson product-moment correlation

coefficient to determine the relationship between the impact of social networking sites and

academic performance in Science. It has done using this formula:

𝑛( ∑ 𝑥𝑦)−(∑ 𝑥)( ∑ 𝑦)
r=
√[𝑛 ∑ 𝑥2 −( ∑ 𝑥) 2 ][𝑛 ∑ 𝑦 2 −(∑ 𝑦) 2 ]

23
 The formula for Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was defined as:

Where: r =Pearson Product

n =Sample number

∑xy = sum of all product of Grand Weighted Mean

∑x = sum of Grand Weighted Mean

∑y = sum of mean grade of respondent

The figure 3 show the summary of the results of the impact of social networking sites

on academic performance in science in terms of communication and information. The

information got the highest average weighted mean with the total of 3.12 interpreted as

“Agree”. Meanwhile, the average weighted mean in terms of communication got the lower

weighted average mean has a total of 3.07 with the verbal description of “Agree”.

Similarly to the result gathered by (Khantie Dlamini 2017) that the use of social

media in education provides students with the ability to get more useful information, to

connect with learning groups and other education system that make education convenient.

This explained that the usage of communication and information are close enough to each

other to help the students in their academic performance in school.

Table 2 presented the results of the academic performance of the students in terms

of first quarter. In terms of first quarter, respondents with grade range of 80-84 and 90-100,

gathered the highest total frequency of eighteen (18) or thirty three percent (33%) of the

total respondents. Contradict with this, respondents with grade range of 75-79, obtained

the lowest frequency of three (3) or five percent (5%) only of the total respondents.

It was adopted by (Wurzburg 2018), first quarter grades set the first standard of the

student. It explained that the reason why students got higher grade in second quarter even

if they use social networking sites.

Table 2.1 demonstrated the results of the academic performance of the students in

terms of second quarter. In terms of second quarter, respondents with grade range of 90-

100 gathered the highest total frequency of twenty one (21) or thirty eight percent (38%)

of the total respondents. While, respondents with grade range of 75-79 obtained the lowest

frequency of one (1) or two percent (2%) only of the total respondents.

Similarly to the result gathered by (AFP Reaxnews 2018), new research has found

that when it comes to school performance, social media has little influence in a student’s

grades. It explained that social networking sites has a help to the students to get higher

grades after using social networking sites.

and the academic performance of the students in Science was reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, the communication levels have a positive correlation and the said variable affect the

academic performance of the students in science.

It was approved by (Dearborn 2015), communication channel is very popular,

extremely fast as proven to be highly effective in Academic Performance. It explained that

there are high percentage and proven in learning to easily communicate with other. Also,

it supported the result that there are correlation of Social Networking Sites to the way of

communicating with other people of the students.

the information levels have a positive correlation and the said variable affect the academic

performance of the students in science.

Also it was verify by Selwyn (2015), Social Media undoubtedly generate new

opportunities to engaged students in higher education as they are effective at connecting

people and facilitating the exchange of information. It explained that more opportunity in

using Social Networking Sites to have a credible and legit information to be more good in

connecting with other.

the said variable affect the academic performance of the students in science.

Similarly to the study of Monem (2018), Social Networking Sites has a positive

impact on the student’s language, intellectual, moral behavior and Academic Performance.

Social Networking Sites helps the students to build their ability to generate and more

fruitful not only on their houses but also to their academic performance. Through the use

of this, it easy to them to relate on other’s language, intelligence and behavior which the

students has a mentally growth through the use of Social Networking Sites.
