INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Social Networking site is an online service for people who want social
relation to other people around the world. Social media are widely used
nowadays in our developing country. Most social media to provide interaction of
different people who share the same interest, likes and even real life
connections.
Online social networking presents both opportunities and risks to young
people. According to Davies and Cranston (2008), online social networking
presents many opportunities to young people by making it easier for them to
amongst other things; publish creative works to local and global audiences; stay
in touch and communicate with peers; find interact with people with shared
interests; organize and coordinates political engagements and action; for virtual
volunteering; and to engage in self-expression. However. Online social
networking can also expose young people to new risks. Risks from; inappropriate
content; commercialism and unsuitable advertising inappropriate or offensive
conduct on SNS; criminal activities such as identify theft; and inappropriate
contact (online and offline) from stranger - which may include grooming and in
the most serious cases, sexual abuse.

In other countries, North America has the highest social network
penetration rate in the world. While the global average penetration rate stood at
42 percent in 2018, North America’s social network penetration rate was at
around 70 percent. In the United States, 77 percent of population had a social
media profile. This means that there were around 209 million social network
users in the country in 2017. This figure places the United States as the country
with the third largest social network user base in the world, only behind China
and India. Projections are optimistic, showing a constant increase in the number
of social network users in the coming years. By 2022, the number of social
network users in the United States is forecast to increase to approximately 221
million.
Facebook is by far the most popular social network website in the United
States based on visits, followed by YouTube and Instagram. About 63 percent of
the U.S. population were using Facebook in 2017. Despite strong gains from
growing online markets, the United States still have the second-largest number of
Facebook users in the world. Mobile is an important part of Facebook’s leading
position in the market, as the social network is also the most popular mobile
social networking app in the United States by reach, engagement and audience.
China is the world's largest social network market. Its market composition
varies considerably from the rest of the world. Due to the Great Firewall of China,

as the Chinese government’s internet censorship project is commonly called,
Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, the leading international social-media players,
are all blocked in China. However, China’s social media landscape is not
incomparable with its western counterparts. Tencent’s Qzone, the most valuable
social media brand in China as of 2013, is a combination of Facebook and
Tumblr, where users share photos, leave messages and blog.
Micro blogging services Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo ranked second
and third in the most valuable social network brand ranking in 2013. The initial
idea of micro blogging is similar to Twitter. Users are allowed to use 140 Chinese
characters in one post. As one Chinese character may transport more content
than a single English character, Weibo allows for more depth than Twitter. In
relation, micro blogging services were most used for the acquisition of social
news and information about interesting people such as entertainers or
commentators. Another commonly used social media form in China is instant
messaging. As of 2014, the penetration rate of instant messaging services in
China had ranged much higher than that of other social networks. At that time,
the most popular instant messengers in China were QQ and WeChat.
Both are operated by Chinese internet giant Tencent. In addition to their
already existing aptitude for mobile devices, recent instant messenger versions
have integrated vital social network properties such as sharing pictures, raising

once more the future of social media platforms
(https://www.statista.com/topics/1170/social-networks-in-china).
In the Philippines, Filipinos are very social by nature. With the current
advances technology, socialization has become highly technological and internet
based. Many filipinos know and use facebook along with other less favored social
networking sites and application like Twitter, Instagram Viber and WhatsApp.
Aside from socialization, all sorts of organization also utilize social media in the
Philippines. Goverment, Non Goverment, educational and business
organizations how have their own facebook and twitter accounts to sell and
advertise their merchandise.
Students today have begun to rely on the accessibility of information that
is available on the social media platforms specifically as well as the web in
general in order to get answer. This means that there is a reduced focus on
learning as well as on retaining information.
In addition, students are attempting to multi-task. They are trying to check
various social media sites while they study. This leads to reduced academic
performance. Besides, their ability to concentrate on their task at hand gets
significantly reduced due to the distraction that is brought by all these social
media sites.

Basista, Pangasinan
The other negative effect on students is that they are spending too much
time on social sites, and much lesser time on socializing in person. In fact, there
is a lack of body signals besides other nonverbal cues, including tone and
inflection in case of social networking sites. Thus they cannot be considered as
an adequate replacement for any face-to-face communication. Not only this
students, who are spending a great deal of time on these social networking sites
are not able to communicate in personal in an effective manner.
These social media sites have become so popular in such a short time
because the information gets published in a fast way. This has actually created a
lax attitude for using proper spelling as well as grammar. In fact, the students are
unable to write effectively without the aid of the spell check feature of a
computer.
The kind of anonymity that is available on the internet has made many
students forget that they need to filter any information that they post. In, fact
many colleges as well as potential employers tend to investigate the social
networking profiles of an applicant before they grant any acceptance or an
interview. And there are many students who are not constantly evaluating the
content which they are published online. All this can lead to negative
consequences even later on in their life (www.business2community.com/social-
media/negative-effects-of-social-networking-sites-for-students-0311887)

THEORY FRAMEWORK
This study is anchored on theories propounded by Albert Bandura, B.
F.Skinner and Abraham Maslow. Banduras Social Learning Theory, as social
media made inroads into our living rooms, much of social learning has been
6
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
influenced by it, especially among the impressionable minds of children and
adolescents. Adolescents have the most impressionable minds, which explains
their ability to learn and comprehend and quickly pick up behavior from their
surrounding environment. Behavior patterns do not necessarily have to be taught
to them – they are highly receptive to learning through social networking. As
media and its various forms have gradually introduced into most households,
social learning theories have identified the influence of media in shaping the
social behavior of adolescent and children. Social networking sites are virtual
worlds for the internet users. Spending so much time in the virtual worlds affects
the academic learning abilities of young minds and the behavior of these youths.
It is from the constant exposure to and interaction in the virtual world as well as
through chatting and video sharing that students pick up many of their
characteristics traits. There behavioral traits, learned as young adults, continue
throughout adulthood. These are potential influences of social learning patterns
seen in grownups. B. F. Skinner Operant Conditioning Theory is based upon the
idea that learning is function of change in overt behavior. Changes in behavior
are the result of an individual’s response to events that occur in the environment.
In the case of students who are engaging in social networking sites, the reason
why students are addicted to modern social media is the stimulus or the
environment that drive them to practice such. Psychological theory of needs

theorized by Abrham Maslow pointed out that humans need to feel a sense of
belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from a large social group, such as
clubs office, culture, religious, group, professional organizations, sports teams,
gangs, small social connections or even social networking sites. They need to be
love and be loved by others. In the absence of these elements, many people
become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and clinical depression.
Behaviorist theorized that learning occurs through interactions with the
environments. Two other assumptions of this theory are that the environment
shapes behavior and that taking internal mental states such as thoughts, feelings
and emotions into considerations is useless in explaining behavior.

This Chapter present a review of Literature and studies which have
some bearing to the study. The literature / research review provided significant
insights to the researcher and gave general direction for the conduct of the
present investigation.

Foreign Literature
Social media are web-based services that gives individual the opportunity
create either a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, add a list
of others to with they share a connection and view and transvers their list of
connection and those made by others within the system. Therefore, this study
was carried out with the aim of examining the impact of use of social media on
students’ academic performance in Malaysian Tertiary Institution. In other to
measure social media platforms a questionnaire was developed based on past
literatures. The independent variables includes: time appropriateness, time
duration, Nature of usage, Health Addiction, friends people connection and
security/privacy problems while the dependent variable was students academic
performance (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323552945theimpactof
Socialmediaonstudentacademic).
The advanced and improved usage of social media platforms such as
Facebook has become a worldwide phenomenon for quite some time. Though it
all started has been a hobby for several computer literates individual has
changed to become a social norm and existence-style for students around the
world (Nicole, 2007). According to Nicole, (2007), students and teenagers have
especially recognized these social media platforms to be able to contact their
13

peers, share information, reinvent their personas and showcase their social live.
(http://www.ftms.edu.my/journals/pdf/IJELT/Nov2016/14-21.pdf).
The Social media is rapidly changing the communication setting of
today’s social world. The emergent of social media is significantly influencing the
academic life of students. Institutions and academician are continually trying with
social media technologies hoping to excite critical thinking skills, collaboration,
and knowledge construction. Today social media has been accepted by higher
institution making it a platform where students connect with their instructors,
fellow students and other higher authorities across the board. This therefore
called for the study to explore and examine how social media has impacted on
students’ academic life (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f9a9/89df2990f6c4b
5fed15fe2f235c15f552f26.pdf).
This research effort is targeted at finding the effects of social media on
students’ performance. Therefore, the literature review discusses the relevant
research that is useful to the objectives of this research project. Several research
studies investigating the topic under review are found to be very recent. Since
most of the innovative features offered by social media platforms like Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn and many others are not that old and the phenomenon of the
use of these media has boosted recently with the introduction of revolutionary
14
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
features and platforms, a volume of recent research on its effects on students’
academic performance is available. Most of the studies chosen have been
published in the past four to five years.
Students’ academic life has moved to a different dimension since the
introduction of these social media networks and several studies have affirmed
that social media plays an important role on students in higher education
including the study conducted by Wheeler, Yeomans and Wheeler,(2008);

Foreign Studies
In the study of Ellison’s (2015) entitled “Studies on the Usage of Social
Networking Sites among College Students” provides very thought provoking
insights. According to this study, 85 % of the respondents use one or more social
networking sites. The extent of the usage of Social Networking Sites has
increased dramatically in the past two years and the usage of Social Networking
Sites as well differs considerably by age. Most of the respondents aging 18 and
15
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
19 years old use Social Networking Sites (95%), yet only 37% aging 30 years
and above utilizes these networking sites. The majority involving 18 and 19 years
old, have more than 200 friends while those aged 30 and above have more or
less 25 or lesser friends on these sites. Consequently Facebook is the most
commonly used Social Networking Site, with MySpace as the second choice. It
was also found that about half of these users utilize just one Social Networking
Site, having only one profile, and participate in one to five groups within Social
Networking Sites. Profiles of Social Networking Sites are fairly stable, with most
respondents changing them monthly or less often. The majority of the users of
Social Networking Sites spend 5 hours or less per week. Younger respondents
report spending more time than older respondents. It also emphasized that most
students (87%) put access restrictions on their profiles. Younger respondents
and females are most likely to do so
(https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/72639/7/chapter%202.pdf)
According to Raacke (2016) in his study entitled “The Effects of Social
Media on the Academic Performance of Nile University Students” found out that
college students around the age of 20 with accounts on Myspace or Facebook
use these systems “to keep in touch with old friends” (96.0%), “to keep in touch
with my present friends (91.1%), “to post/look at pictures” (57.4%), “to make new
friends” (56.4%), and “to locate old friends” (54.5%). But only 10.9 percent stated
16
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
that they used it “for academic purposes”, and only 12.9 percent listed their
courses on their profiles. Similarly, Michikyan, Subrahmanyam, and Dennis
(2015) used a mixed-method approach to investigate the relationship between
online academic disclosure (namely status updates about their academic
experiences) and academic performance for 261 students with an average age of
22 years. Thematic analysis of their posts indicated that 18 14% of their
contributions to Facebook were academic in nature. On the other hand, the
majority of students in Camilia, Sajoh, and Dalhtu (2013) used social media for
academic purposes (http:/dar.aucegypt.edu/bitstream/handle/10526//5414/Gina
%20Mowafy%20Thesis%20updated.pdf?sequence=1).
According to Ezeji (2016) in their study entitled “Effect of Social Media
on the Study Habits of Students of Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education,
Owerri” revealed that social media rate of usage among students of AIFCE, was
very high. Almost all respondents in the survey indicated a degree of usage of
social media. 71% of students surveyed owned smartphones, while 25% did not.
Only 3.4% indicated that they did not know what a smartphone was. The socio
demographic data indicated that 31.7% were male while 68.3% were female.
19.2% were National Certificate of Education (NCE) students and 80.8% were
(BEd) Degree students. By year of study, 6.8% were first year students, 9.5%
were second year, 30.4% were third year while fourth year students were 53.4%.

The following relevant data from the study are presented graphically using tables

10008995/effect-of-social-media-on-the-study-habits-of-students-of-alvan-ikoku-
federal-college-of-education-owerri-).
According to Lenhart et al., (2014), about 57% of social network users are
18-29 years old and have a personal profile on multiple social media websites. In
a study by Pempek, Yermolayeva, and Calvert (2009), the amount of time spent
daily on social network sites varied greatly. However, an analysis of the data
indicated most participants spent approximately thirty minutes a day socializing,
mostly during the evening hours between 9p.m to 12a.m students spent an
average of forty seven minutes a day on Facebook. More than 50% of college
students go on a social networking sites several times a day (Sheldon, 2008).
Quan-Haase and Young (2010), found that 82% of college students reported
logging into Facebook several times a day. Younger students tended.

The study conducted by Owusu and Agatha (2015), entitled “Use of social
media and its impacts on academic performance of tertiary students” revealed
that majority of students in Ghana were engrossed in social networking sites. It
also brought to light that most users utilized these sites for chatting and
downloading purposes only which affected their academic performance
18
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
negatively. This finding corroborates the revelation of Mingle and Musah (2015),
that most respondents in their study experienced negative effects such as poor
grammar spelling, late submission of assignments, less study time and poor
academic performance. Though part of these studies affirmed some benefits of
social media usage in the academic life of students, it is necessary as educators
to be concerned about its negative effects which seem to be outweighing the
advantages as far as education is concerned in Ghana.

The research of Karpinski (2014) Entitled “The effects of social networking
site on students academic performance in lyceum of the Philippines – Laguna”
found that SNSs specifically Facebook usage is negatively correlated with Grade
Point Averages (GPAs) of its users. She observed that the GPAs of non-users is
31
Region
Basista, Pangasinan
relatively higher than the users of these sites. Also, the study found that 68
percent of students who used Facebook had a significant lower GPA than those
who did not use the SNSs. But the most interesting finding was that 79 percent of
Facebook users denied having any adverse impact of this usage on their GPAs.
It means that they are not aware of the fact that networking habits affects their
academic performance
In the study of ( ____) entitled “Effects of social media usage to the
school performance of the grade 12 Senior high school students” aimed to
know the positive or negative effects of social media usage towards students’
academic performance in Iligan City National High School. In this study, the
researchers had the sample size of 257 out of 739 Grade 12 Senior High school
students from Iligan City National High School as the respondents who were
chosen to be interviewed. The researchers concluded that there is no direct
relationship between using social media and school performance of the students,
since even though the students just use social media for entertainment they still
have high and good grades instead of looking for some information related to
their lessons. The researcher suggest that students must have control over their
usage of social media to avoid negative effects of social media towards
academic performance (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330466568)

According to a survey conducted by Pew Research Center (2016) on the
“Impact of social media to student’s Lives, Academic performance” stated that
as of 2015 the largest social networking company, Facebook for example, has
1.49 billion active users and the number of users is increasing every year. As
part of the said survey, 72 percent of high school students and 78 percent
college students spend time on these social networking sites – Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Viber, E-mail, etc. These numbers evidently
indicate how much the student community is involved in this virtual world of
networking. Students prefer social media sites as reliable sources of information
because everything is a package. A research conducted by Gagne sometime in
2003 defined media in general as some kind of components in a students’
environment that can stimulate them to study better. Researchers also found
that the use of some types of social media has beneficial effects to students, not
only on their academic needs but also to help them establish a sense of identity
and build and enhance networking skills (https://www.baguioheraldexpressonline

generation. It conquered the world by storm and became more popular to the
youth of most nations including the Philippines. This research aims to study the
relationship of Social Media in relation to the Academic Performance of the
students of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at Centro Escolar
University-Malolos. Among the one thirty eight (138) respondents drawn using
stratified random sampling there are 45 first years, 37 second and third years
and 19 fourth years. There are 102 males and 36 females participated in this
study. Seventy one (71) or 51.4% of the respondents have reached below
satisfactory grade average while sixty seven (67) or 48.6% students have
successfully reached the satisfactory academic performance from an average
grade. Sixty one (61) or 44.3% falls under the Occasional User of Social Media
while seventy seven (77) or 55.7% falls under Frequent User of Social Media.
This represents that there are more Frequent User of Social Media among the
respondents participated in this study. Students’ Prelim and Midterm Average
and their Social Media usage were correlated using Pearson ( r ) correlation and
evaluated that there is moderate significant relationship between Social Media
and the Academic Performance of the BSIT students of Centro Escolar
