Background of the Study

The Cyberspace is the virtual world in which digital technology

users occupy. The internet is its most known example, but it also

includes video games, telephones, and any technology that creates

a virtual place in which people can use and interact with.

Although the Cyberspace is not a physical space to gather in,

technology grants people the ability to connect with one another

through the use of Cyberspace platforms as a channel of

communication and information.

Currently the most popular platforms in the Cyberspace are

Facebook, which has almost three billion users worldwide, and

under the same company the messaging platforms Messenger and

Whatsapp, and the photo and video sharing platform Instagram.

Other platforms include video sharing platform YouTube,

multimedia messaging platform Snapchat, and messaging platform

Telegram. In recent times we have also seen the surge in

population for the video sharing platform TikTok.

In this digital age wherein technology is everywhere in the form

of computers, smart phones, tablets, and other devices which

today’s generation is surrounded with, almost all young people

nowadays are technology users. Technology allows much access to

connectivity in the Cyberspace which is grounds for various

communication, information sharing, and entertainment, among many

other activities which often puts emphasis on being social, as it

promotes engagement with others, and being creative, as it

promotes the making of content. It is essential to build a social

network, especially in these times of social isolation, as it has

been demonstrated to improve mental and overall wellbeing.

Students are able to engage with peers who share their interests,

overcoming temporal and geographic barriers. Youth from

disadvantaged minorities, who may have a hard time finding people

who look like them, may find this to be very helpful.

According to Akende and Bamise (2017), Yesilyurt et al. (2014)

and Sun et al. (2016) , using computers and having access to

online resources are relatively crucial for students as it

improves students’ academic performance and self-learning skills.

Siraj et al. (2015) asserts that students perceive the internet

as a supplement for learning while Aitokhuehi et al. (2014)

states that computer literate students perform better and thus

contribute to higher academic performance.

But as its users spend more and more time using technology to

access various Cyberspace platforms, they are exposed to cyber

risks such as online bullying, inappropriate content, and digital

addiction.

Evidence abound that excessive internet use has been associated

with problems of maintaining daily routines, academic

achievement, and family relationships (Rickert, 2001).

This study is about how the Cyberspace affects KCP Grade 12
students. The "Cyberspace" is the virtual world in which digital
technology users occupy; and the study is about how the usage of
these Cyberspace platforms affect the hollistic wellbeing and
academic habits of the student respondents. This study will be
conducted at the private institution of King's College of the
Philippines, La Trinidad with a limited time frame and limited
local resources. Since the researchers have a time limit to
conduct this study, the respondents will only be the Grade 12
students here at King’s College of the Philippines. And also
because local resources are difficult to access since there is
not much available, the researchers will use global resources
such as search engines and online publications in order to
support this study.

Data Gathering Procedure

This study will be conducted at the private institution of King’s

College of The Philippines at Pico Road, La Trinidad, Benguet.

The researchers will firstly write a letter addressed to the

school principal ma’am Dina Teresita P. Balaan asking for

permission to proceed with the study. Once the school principal

permits it, the researchers will then ask for the consent of the

student respondents and their class advisors through letters

containing the necessary information concerning what the study is

about, its purpose, and how the data gathered from the

respondents will be used by the researchers. It is important to

indicate that the data the researchers will be gathering will

only be used within the institution of KCP La Trinidad and will

not be shared with outside sources. In order to gather this data,

if the class advisors permits it, a survey questionnaire which

contains close-ended questions will be then distributed among the

student respondents. In the same day that they are given the

survey questionnaire to answer, they will also pass it to the

researchers only within that time frame.
