between the use of SM platforms and its positive impact on students' learning performance is crucial to
understanding the role of SM during a pandemic. The findings are relevant to those interested in
enhancing online learning or the SM tools utilized for online classes. This study furthers the
understanding of the resesrchers on why students choose to adopt SM platforms during COVID-19

educational technology implementation in educational institutions. The findings of this study will
increase educational administrators' awareness of the benefits of advanced technology, such as SM
platforms in academic institutions, and assist them in developing an interesting and suitable online
learning environment for the student community. Furthermore, teachers and students should consider

recommended for the possible course of action.

1.The present study identified some interesting findings; nevertheless, several limitations exist. Notably,
the sample population was limited to public High School of Cauayan City specifically at Cauayan City
National High School Main. Hence, this study's results may not conclusively reflect private school
students' tendency and perceiveness toward SM platforms adoption during COVID-19 in Cauayan City.

2.Future researchers should be conducted with faculty members to understand their perspective and
perceiveness on SM platform as a tool in enhancing academic peformance during the pandemic.
