This study generally aims to determine the relationship of the duration of exposure on
TikTok and students study habits of the Grade 12 students in Pajo National High School.
This study was conducted at Pajo National High School-Senior High Department in Sangi
New Road, Pajo Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, for the First Semester of the Academic Year 2023-
2024. The study utilized a correlational research design in conducting the study.
Correlational research design is significantly appropriate to this study in identifying the
relationship between students’ duration of exposure on TikTok and study habits of
Grade 12 students of Pajo Senior High School. The study used a printed survey
questionnaire which was researcher made and adapted-modified from Verginia Sijo. The
findings suggest that the Grade 12 students exhibit satisfactory study habits in terms of
scheduling, method of study and techniques, accomplishing assignments and note
taking. Importantly the research found that the amount of time these students spend on
TikTok does not significantly influence their study habits. The statistical analysis
conclusively demonstrates that the selected Grade 12 students at Pajo Senior High
School do not exhibit a significant correlation between their duration of exposure on
TikTok and their study habits. This suggests that factors other than TikTok may
influence students study habits. Thus, more in-depth research is recommended to
explore other factors that may influence students' study habits. This may involve looking
into other factors like time management skills, study environment, and sleep quality.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Rationale
Study habits are commonly known as the usual behavior or habitual
practices by a person to study and learn effectively. These study habits include
assignments. Study habits help students make their studies easier to understand and
improved academic learning and better preparation for future challenges. According to
Tus, Lubo, Rayo, and Cruz (2020) enhancing students' study habits is relevant, especially
in notetaking, reading ability, and health, thus improving their academic performance.
studying. When students encounter distractions, they may choose to engage with social
media. The reasons for this behavior and how individuals handle such distractions can
vary. Distractions may lead to an increased use of social media. One possible explanation
for why users turn to social media instead of ignoring it when they should be studying
study. This has been linked to the fact that students’ engagement on social media does
not
effectively allow them to utilize their time. Reference posited that the degree of learning
depends on the amount of time the child is actively engaged in learning. It is the time
spent studying that helps students retain materials learned which will eventually boost
academic performance.
However, current observations imply that the students of Pajo Senior High
School are distracted by social media such as TikTok which can lead to procrastination,
where Pajo Senior High School students delay their study sessions in favor of browsing
TikTok. Many students struggle with maintaining focus on their studies because they
spend too much time on TikTok. Spending lots of time on TikTok means less time for
studying.
With the present necessity, the researchers aim to understand how TikTok
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Related Theories
This study is anchored on two theories, namely, the Uses and Gratification
Theory developed by Elihu Katz and Jay Blumler (Katz and Blumler, 1974), and Self
Determination Theory developed by Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan ( Deci and
Ryan, 1985).
The first theory is the Uses and Gratification theory of Katz and Blumler (1974)
it explains that individuals actively seek out specific functions from media content to
fulfill their needs and desires. This theory was coined in the early 1940s which means
people are attracted by certain benefits offered by different types of media use including
Straubhaar et al. (2014), uses and gratifications perspectives dominate thinking about
media consumption and behavior. They further argued that it is possible to become so
deeply involved with our favorite media activity that it acts like an addictive drug. It is
within this premise that this addiction influences the study habits of the students.
In the context of TikTok, users may engage with the platform as a means of
influence of TikTok on study habits could be examined through the lens of how users
integrate the platform into their daily routines. By exploring how students use TikTok
and the gratifications they seek from it, we can gain insights into its influence on study
habits.
The second theory is the Self-Determination Theory which has three primary
psychological needs that the emphasis of SDT: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
Autonomy is having control over one's life and the ability to make decisions that
are in line with their principles and interests. The need to feel capable of learning a new
person must experience a sense of belonging and connection to other people. SDT
suggests that in the context of self-learning habits, students are more likely to have a
sense of autonomy and control over their learning experiences when they participate in
self-directed learning activities. The motivation and engagement levels may rise as a
result.
Related Literature
study habits at Pajo National High School (Senior High Department). The present study
is influenced by a review of related literature and studies from outside and locally.
TikTok, which is widely used by people of all ages, has become an increasingly
popular application. In this app, users can create any kind of video they want and post it
to the App for anyone to see, even though most posts are people dancing in music. The
students can dance to the most popular songs and get followers from their posts.
However along with having fun, students still have to be able to focus on their
schoolwork, and distractions have the ability to pose a big challenge to getting

become addicted to social media (Ciplak, 2020). TikTok is capable of attracting anyone
who uses the app, which can lead to something like an addiction.
According to Tus et al., (2020) Study habits are at the core of a learner's
academic success. It is an action like reading, taking notes, conducting study groups that
students perform frequently, and regularly accomplishing the learning goals. It can be

The study of Unwalla (2020) found that the study habits of females are better
compared to males. It has been observed that females are more self-disciplined, tend to
complete work on time, are more attentive, and tend to have better study habits as

study habits and academic performance, with the inclusion of appropriate educational
content, in particular their ability to note and read notes, education administrators and
planning staff can improve students' study habits by making them more efficient at
studying. The content type that students spend watching on TikTok can influence their
level of focus and engagement. For instance, educational content may enhance their
learning and study. Moreover, unrelated content could distract their ability to
concentrate.
According to Chris (2019) many students use social media, especially Facebook,
WhatsApp, and Twitter. They spend an increasing amount of quality time on these
networks even during lecture hours. The findings of this study suggest that social media
could negatively impact the students' study behavior, academic progress and that timed
off software should be installed to control its use. The duration of exposure spent
watching TikTok can lead to distractions for students. Spending excessive time on
TikTok can divert student's attention away from their studies, reducing their focus and
productivity.
Good study habits include planning a specific time for studying, being organized,
maintaining class notes, being attentive in class, reading the textbook, and finishing
work before deadlines (Unwalla, 2020). Additionally, Jones and Patel (2020) delved into
the impact of technology on study habits, emphasizing the need for a balance between
digital distractions and focused study time. Consistently adhering to set a schedule and

integrating social media can improve student engagement, motivation, and information
retention, ultimately contributing to more effective study habits and learning outcomes.
However, it is often observed that students who are so immersed in social media
do not take care of their studies. The negative impact of social media, which requires
students to pay close attention to their educational responsibilities, could be described
as a misdirected priority in the area of time management. The enjoyment of social media
use might cause learners’ academic assignments to be delayed significantly during this
new normal education, which, if not appropriately managed, can result in academic
(Caratiquit, 2022). During this new normal education, which, if not properly managed,
can lead to academic procrastination, the use of social media may lead to a significant

approach to using social media, like TikTok. Since TikTok usage does not
negatively influence on study habits, there's no need for strict restrictions on its
use. However, parents should still keep an eye on the overall screen time to
ensure it remains healthy and doesn’t interfere with their study habits.
