Introduction
Social Networking Sites is currently used by thousands and millions of people today.
People are now connected to one another through Internet; even how far you are you can
connect in just one click. And one of the main users of this is the students that sometimes
they used it from time to time. Students tend to consult the educational related websites
such as Google and YouTube to supply their needs from time to time but then they also
visited other websites including Facebook to check their profile and ended up they
spend too much using Facebook rather than making their assignments or whatsoever. They
also sometimes sleepless because of overnight used of social networking and that will lead
them to wake up lately, forget to do their assignments and their home activities.
According to Karpinski (2009) 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 are 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. Due to the
increased popularity of it, economists and professors are questioning whether grades of
students are being affected by how much time is being spent on these sites (Choney, 2010).
SENOIR HIGH SCHOOL
For this study, social networking is defined as the use of Facebook, YouTube, blogs, Twitter,
MySpace, or LinkedIn. With smart phones being able to access the internet and have
applications of social networking, many are concerned about how smart phones with social
networking applications will affect students grades.
Many students always log in to their account on Facebook, Twitter, etc. as a part of
their everyday routine. That would-be millions of students logging. Thats why many
students have been blaming various social networking sites for their steady decrease in
grade point averages. This emergent phenomenon aroused us to consider social
networking sites and why they affect fellow students academic performances.
The purpose of this study is to determine the positive and negative effects of social
networking sites the academic performance of a students and this study must be given an
attention to avoid those negative effects that can affect the study habit of students.
Statement of the Problem
This study will be going to determine the effects of Social Networking Sites on the
Academic Performance of a student that will carried out to answer the following questions:
1. What might be the negatives effects of social networking on the students?
2. How Senior High School students in SDSSU are using social networking sites?
3. In what ways thus the social networking sites affect the academic performance of
students?
4. How social networking sites help the students academic performance?

SENOIR HIGH SCHOOL
5. What are those influences of social networking sites on the academic performance
of students?
Scope and Delimitations
The study is limited only to the Senior High School students in Surigao Del Sur State
University (Main Campus) Tandag City with the year 2017 2018. There will be 10 chosen
respondents in every strand of SHS in SDSSU with the total of 50 respondents. The study
will be going to examine the effects social networking sites on SHS students. Survey
checklist will be used in this study.

Significance of the Study
This study will give an importance to the students, teachers, parents, government,
and school principal for them to be aware about the positive and negative effects of social
networking sites to the students and to prevent addiction about this case and for them to
know the proper usage of social networking. It can also give an importance to the future
researchers who will be conduct a research that is related to this, for them to gain some
information about this case.
Definition of Terms
Social Networking Sites a social networking service (also social networking site,
SNS or social media) is an online platform which people use to build social networks or
social relations with the other people who shares similar personal or career interests,
activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.
Academic Performance is the extent to which a students, teacher or institution
has achieved their short or long-term educational goals.

SENOIR HIGH SCHOOL
Internet a global computer network providing a variety of information and
communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized
communication protocols.
Social media -are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and
sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via
virtual and networks.
Online - connected to, served by, or available through a system and
especially a computer or telecommunications system (such as the Internet).
Platform - a raised level surface on which people or things can stand.
Information is that which informs. In other words, it is the answer to a question of
some kind. It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to
parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.
Computer network - is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of
sharing resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the Internet.
Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server.
Communication facilities - Excellent facilities are available for instruction and
research. The Communication Research Laboratories are equipped with the most advanced
digital and audiovisual equipment used for a variety of research purposes, such as
computerized event recording systems used for media and interaction analyses,

downloading and recording interactions in real time, and videotaping, mixing, and
unobtrusive observation of realistic dyadic and group interaction, to name a few.
Communication protocols - are formal descriptions of digital message formats and
rules. They are required to exchange messages in or between computing systems and are
required in telecommunications.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter present the review of related literature both foreign and local. This also
present the different variables relative to the study.
RELATED LITERATURE
Foreign
The increased use of Social Networking Websites has become an international
phenomenon in the past several years. What started out as a hobby for some computer
literate people has become a social norm and way of life for people from all over the world?
Teenagers and young adults have especially embraced the sites as a way to connect with
their peers, share information, reinvent their personalities, and showcase their social lives
(Boyd, 2007). According to Lewis, (2008) teenagers now use the Internet for the majority
their daily activities and information gathering, as opposed to older generations who used
resources like television or newspaper. Teenagers and youth especially student have
embraced these sites as a way to connect with their friend and make new once, share
information, photos of their activities such as birthday, photo with friend in class etc. and
showcase their social lives. With the increased of technology used for communicating with
the spread of the internet, Social Networking has become an activity that is done
primarily on the internet, with sites like MySpace, Face book, Skype etc. (Coyle et al.,
2008).

According to Oskouei (2010) Internet is advantageous to both students and teachers
if used as a tool of knowledge creation and dissemination. The effect of SNS usage will
depend on the type of SNS the student is using, if student uses the internet for the purpose
of leisure activity that interferes with academic, it will affect the student academic
performance negatively. The University of New Hampire agrees, and believes that current
college students grew up in the technology era and social networking is now just a part of a
students daily routine. Their research show that 63% of heavy users received high grades,
compared to 65% of light users (U of NH, 2009). They also said that the majority of
students use social networking for social connections and entertainment, but are also using
it for educational and professional reasons.
American Educational Research Association conducted a research and it was
declared on its annual conference in San Diego, California (2009) that SNSs users study less
and generated lower grades eventually (21stcenturyscholar.org). Similarly, Banquil et al.,
(2009) found a continuing drop of grades among student users social networking sites.
However, many researchers also found a positive association between use of internet and
SNS and academic performance of the student users. Students, using internet frequently,
scored higher on reading skills test and had higher grades as well ( Linda et al., 2006).

In the advent of internet technology, social communication using the internet
became the frontier of daily communication, collaboration and networking. This frontier is
delineated by many social networking websites and portals. This study was conducted to
determine the effects of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) on students academic performance,
the researcher used the descriptive correlation method of research. An online survey
questionnaire designed using Google docs were distributed to 203 randomly-selected
respondents from six colleges in lyceum of the Philippines-Laguna.
The study found out that all students in lyceum of the Philippines- Laguna have
Facebook accounts and was significally registered to more than one SNSs account. The
result of the study showed a statistically significant positive relationship between time
spent by students on SNSs and their academic performance. The student-respondents
tended to interact with their friends and not use for academic reasons. Specifically, the
study found out that the higher the time spent on SNSs showed the lower is the time spent
on studying. Hence, correlation analysis showed an inverse relationship between the GPA
and the number of SNSs accounts being maintained by students, the frequency of SNSs use,
since when they have SNSs, length of SNSs, and the number of study hours.
The results revealed that as these mentioned variables increases, the GPA also
increases, showing that SNSs had made a contribution in the attainment of higher grades.
However, such relationships are not significant. Therefore, the study found that SNSs usage

had no significant relationship on student academic performance. The improvement in the
grade relies on other factors within the teaching-learning process and thus could not be
attributed to the use of SNS alone.
