THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS
Introduction
Social networking sites are the main application under the umbrella of social
media, which comes with the Web 2.0 era. It is the fastest growing web application in
21st century. The wide nature of applications like Wikis, video streaming and
applications, and social networks makes it the phenomenon of the century.Social
networking sites (SNSs) have created a new social dimension where individuals can
increase their social awareness by keeping in touch with old friends, making new
friends, dispensing new data or products and gathering information in other aspects of
everyday life. This helps individuals become more knowledgeable, which is very
beneficial for students.
According to Greenhow (2008), social networking sites could become a vital part
of the education environment if implemented effectively. She said that SNS expanded
the student’s abilities to perform work by actually practicing the kinds of 21 st century
skills. Social networking is most effective when educators can link learners with others
who might share their interest or encourage students to publish works for a larger
audience (MAF, 2009). With this mind, one has to wonder why social networking has
not been leveraged more in schools to enhance the education of youth. According to
NSBA (2007), there would have to do with ensuring their online safety, which has posed
1
a challenge to school, as well as the typical issues surrounding introduction of any
innovation.
Social networking sites bring many influences to teen’s life. Not just good
influences but also bad ones.There are reasons why most of the young people are
being obsessed tosocial networking sites. This is one of the reasons of their
friendship,having access to quality information as at when it needed and etc. But the
tremendous thing is that, some people are fighting through social media like when Agot
told Duterte “A Psychopath”, many pro-duterte and anti-duterte are fighting through their
comments in the chat box. In which netizens will express their madness and cause
troubles in some ways.
Social networking sites have bad and good effects depending on using it. Almost
students as of today’s generation are fond in using social networking sites.So, the main
purpose of this study is to determine the influences brought by social networking sites to
the 21st century skills students most especially to their academic endeavors. And this
study will give them reliable information and it gives awareness about the impact of SNS
to their life.

Theoretical Framework
People learn through observing others’ behavior, attitudes, and outcomes of
those behaviors. Most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling:
from observing others, one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on
later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action (Bandura, 2015).
Bandura’s Social learning theory (2015) explains human behavior in terms of
continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental
influences. Bandura believed in “reciprocal determinism”, that is, the world and a
person’s behavior cause each other, while behaviorism essentially states that one’s
environment causes one’s behavior, Bandura, who was studying adolescent
aggression, found this too simplistic, and so in addition he suggested that behavior
causes environment as well. Later, Bandura soon considered personality as an
interaction between three components: the environment, behavior, and one’s
psychological processes (one’s ability to entertain images in minds and language).
Social Development Theory of Vygotsky (2015) argues that social interaction
precedes development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of
socialization and social behavior.
According to Lave’s Situated Learning Theory, social interaction and
collaboration are essential components of situated learning — learners become
involved in a “community of practice” which embodies certain beliefs and behaviors to
3
be acquired. As the beginner or novice moves from the periphery of a community to its
center, he or she becomes more active and engaged within the culture and eventually
assumes the role of an expert.
Conceptual Framework
The three parts are shown in figure 1: the basis, the process, and the outcome of
the study that was conducted. The actual responses and answers to the distributed
questionnaire among Ninety four (94) respondents served as the basis for research.
The first is the basis; in this part is the recognition of the profiling of respondents based
on the following factors: age, gender, and the Second grading total average and also
the level of 21st- century skills of the student. The second part is the process. Here's
what will happen to the influence of Social Networking Sites to the academic
performance of the student. The final part is the outcome of the teaching lesson. Here
you can find the proposed work or the suggested output after the study was conducted
which is the symposium.

Social networking sites although has been recognized as an important resource
for education today, studies however shows that students use social networking sites
such as Facebook for fun, to kill time, to meet existing friends or to make new ones
(Ellison et al., 2007). Although it has been put forward that students spends much time
on participating in social networking activities, with many students blaming the various
social networking sites for their steady decrease in grade point averages (Kimberly et al,
2009), it also shows that only few students are aware of the academic and professional
networking opportunities the sites offered.
Social networking sites help the students when by using it properly. It provides
individual and sense of belongingness among the users and it breaks the barriers to a
good communication from one person to another (Zuart, et al., 2011). Ellison (2008),
believe that the benefits provided by Social networking sites such as Facebook have
10
made us better off as society and as individuals, and that, as they continue to be
adopted by more diverse population.
Students who obtained quality and good education contribute hugely to building
of any country. The important aspect that can impact positively the educational
performance is through the use of internet. It was proposed on 2001 by Shah, that the
effect of internet use if largely determined by the type of internet usage. Tuckman
(2012) defined performance as the apparent demonstration of understanding, concepts,
skills, ideas and knowledge of a person and proposed that grades clearly depict the
performance of a student. Hence, their academic performance must be managed
efficiently keeping in view all the factors that can positively or negatively affect their
educational performance. He proposed that internet is advantageous to both students
and teachers if used as a tool of knowledge creation and dissemination. In addition,
academic performance defined by (Kobal and Musek, 2012) refers to the numerical
scores of a student’s knowledge, representing the degree of a student’s adaptation to
schoolwork and the educational system.
The use of technology such as internet is one way that can affect educational
performance of a student they want to attain in their studies. Shan et al. (2001)
proposed that student’s users are affected by the internet and this impact is determined
by the type of internet usage. Internet is a network of communication that connects
computer networks and organizational computer facilities around the world.

According to Walter (2015), social media has truly made our world a better place
and think overall the world has greatly benefited from its existence for many different
reasons. Social media offer an accessible, widely available means for a bi-directional
flow of information between the public and the authorities (Simon, et al., 2014).
Social network sites help fulfill communication needs and wants. It is a
convenient method of communication and provides the ability to stay connected with
friends and family, but on the users own rate and time. Users can manage their
interactions within their own schedule by choosing when they want to read and respond.
It is efficient because it is a one-to-many method of communication which allows users
to quickly spread information (Gurcan, 2015).

Education plays a very important role in the development and progress of a
certain nation. With the advancement of science and technology, it is indeed that
globalization and internalization of education are considered as challenges that every
country must uphold. And one of the emphases of today’s challenges in education is the
promotion of 21st-century skills among students (Tindowen, 2017).
However, it is also a reality that a huge number of the world population are
dropouts, out-of-school youth, and even individuals who do not go to formal schooling.
And as a result, these individuals who do not go to formal schooling have difficulties in
understanding and learning 21st-century skills which enable them to cope with and to
compete in the globalized world (Bassig & Cagurangan, 2017).
12
21ST century education requires educational administrators, teachers and
students to use technology for the advancement of learning and teaching (Enriquez,
2014). Nowadays, many academic articles, virtual learning environments and other
educational tools which are available in the internet for free can be accessed by
ordinary people. Students to be more specific frequently used the internet or to be more
particular social networking sites (Espinoza, 2008).
In the field of educational technology, recent studies have proven many benefits
of using the Internet for providing stronger motivation for learning among students
(Enriquez, 2014).
Students using Social networking websites are practicing the 21st century skills
needed to be successful in today’s society. Students are improving their communication
through social network sites a skill that could be essential for a success career
(Amabao, 2016).
As mentioned in the study of Gemora et al. (2015), Social Networking Site (SNS)
covers all about engagement creating relationships, communicating with one’s readers,
building his following and connecting with his online audience. It has been observed as
the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by
making connections through individuals.

Social network is a formed how people of all ages work, play, and shop-and even
how we elect presidents. Pew study (2010) illustrates that it has become an integral part
of the world beyond k12 schools. An NSBA study (2010), it said that 96 percent of those
with online access reported using social networking, and half said they use it to discuss
schoolwork. Despite this prevalence in everyday life, schools have been hesitant to
adopt Social networking as an education tool.
According to a study conducted by the University of Minnesota (2017) on student
use of social media, students who are already engaging in the social networking could
benefit from incorporating it into curriculum. Greenhow (2017), elaborated on the impact
of SNS could have on education. By understanding how students maybe positively
using these networking technologies in their daily lives and where the as- yet-
unrecognized educational opportunities are, we can help make schools event more
relevant, connected and meaningful to kids.
It is believed that the emergence of social networking sites like Facebook has
received a lot of attention and patronage by all ages across the world but significantly
people around college or university going age are mostly found on this social network.
14
Valenzuela, Park &Kee’s study (2008) attest to this claim as it was found that students
between the ages of 18-29 years have accounts on Facebook and use the online
network daily. On the hand, the emergence of instant messaging sites like Whatsapp,
Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and the rest have all contributed and still play a key role
either positively or negatively on students’ academic and social lives (Campus Quad,
2014).
A survey conducted by Ellison, Steinfield & Lampe (2007) proved that students
use social networking sites 30 minutes within the day as part of their normal activities.
Students on the other hand also spend between one to two hours daily on the internet
(Yazdanfar & Aghili, 2012). Wang, Chen & Liang (2011) did a survey involving 48
participants made up of 22 females and 26 males, randomly selected. The results of this
study indicated that students spend over six to eight hours daily on social media sites.
The results further revealed that the least number of hours students spend on social
networking sites was two hours.
A study conducted by Faculty Focus (2009) revealed that students spend over 31
minutes on social networking sites every day. According to the same study students
who are heavy users of social networking sites spend over 60 minutes daily networking
with friends.

According to Dr. Garcia (2010), 83% of the Philippine population is social
network users. In addition, he said that 48% of students are more reliant on gadgets
15
and search engines in doing their assignments. The long hours exposure in pc are lose
bonding time and face to face communication with their family reach 27% of youths. He
mentioned that 20% loss their privacy and security and 5% of youths suffered of self
and emotional disturbances.
According to the study "effects of signing social networking websites in 1st year
students study from the Santo Tomas College", networking sites are one of the reasons
why young people and some numbers Adults become hooked to photography, blogging
and so on.
One of its bad effects is that it creates another person's identity and a wrong
record of one. The study also notes that people who do not have too much social life
pass through networking. Because of what the study says is a way to communicate with
people away from one another, whether known or not. It is also difficult to find privacy
here especially on a website that sees every user's updates.
Synthesis of the Study
An NSBA study (2010), it said that 96 percent of those with online access
reported using social networking, and half said they use it to discuss schoolwork.
Despite this prevalence in everyday life, schools have been hesitant to adopt Social
networking as an education tool. According to a study conducted by the University of
Minnesota (2017) on student use of social media, students who are already engaging in
the social networking could benefit from incorporating it into curriculum. The related

literature has guided the researchers in formulating this study. The opinion of the
authors has paved the way for the identification of the influences of social networking
sites to the 21st century skills of grade 10 students.

As shown at the table above 71 (75.53%) of the respondents chose “the usage of
SNSs is useful in higher educational institution, because they are an effective
communication” as the influence of social networking sites to their academic
performance. 20 (2.48%) only of the respondents chose “I compare my grades before I
become engaged into these SNSs and after I became involved. I see a drop in my
academic performance” as the influence of social networking Sites to their academic
performance. All in all Social Networking sites is useful in higher educational institution
because they are an effective in communication. Survey research confirms, however,
that interest in harnessing social networking for educational purposes is high (District
Administration, 2010).

As depicted from the table on the previous page, it shows that the Computed r of
Social Skill, Communication skill, Collaboration skill, Critical Thinking Skill, and
Creativity Skill are 0.071, 0.097, 0.119, 0.07 and 0.095 respectively which is negligible.
The Computed t for Social skill is 0.68 and the tabular Value is 1.98. Since the tabular
Value is greater than the computed t the decision will accept the null hypothesis which
is there is no significant relationship between the Social skill and the influence of social
networking sites to the academic performance of the Grade 10 student in PNHS at the
0.05 level of significance. The Computed t for Communication skill is 0.93 and the
tabular Value is 1.98. Since the tabular Value is greater than the computed t the
decision will accept the null hypothesis which is there is no significant relationship
between the Communication skill and the influence of social networking sites to the
academic performance of the Grade 10 student in PNHS at the 0.05 level of
significance. The Computed t for Collaboration skill is 1.15 and the tabular Value is
1.98. Since the tabular Value is greater than the computed t the decision will accept the
null hypothesis which is there is no significant relationship between the Collaboration
skill and the influence of social networking sites to the academic performance of the
Grade 10 student in PNHS at the 0.05 level of significance. The Computed t for Critical
thinking skill is 0.67 and the tabular Value is 1.98. Since the tabular Value is greater
than the computed t the decision will accept the null hypothesis which is there is no
significant relationship between the Critical thinking skill and the influence of social

of the Grade 10 student in PNHS at the 0.05 level of significance.
Since the levels of 21st century skills and Influence of Social networking Sites to
the student in PNHS is not significant, it is recommended that students must use Social
Networking Sites as it expanded the student’s abilities to perform work by actually
practicing the kinds of 21st century skills (Greenhow, 2008).

recommendation that. It is being recommended that the students should manage to
control themselves in terms of using social networking sites and they should be able to
know their limit on using it. Symposium will be designed to help the respondents to be
more knowledgeable in the proper usage of social networking sites. This symposium will
also serve as the eye opener to the students on the bad and good influences which
bring of the social networking sites to their academic aspects.It is recommended that
the parents should monitor their children as to the exposure to the social networking
sites. It is also highly recommended that students should use SNS as it expanded the
student’s abilities to perform work by actually practicing the kinds of 21st century skills.

interaction between three components: the environment, behavior, and one’s

precedes development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of

socialization and social behavior.
