study will also collect data on the students’ Facebook usage habits, such as the
amount of time they spend on the platforms, the types of activities they engage
in, and the strategies they use to manage their Facebook use.
The data collected will be analyzed using quantitative methods, such as
statistical analysis and regression analysis, to determine the relationship between
Facebook usage and academic performance. The study aims to provide insights
into the effects of social media on student learning and inform educators and
parents about how to support students in managing their social media use.
Overall, this study is important because it addresses a growing concern
among educators and parents about the impact of social media on students

Background of the study

Facebook has become a popular social networking platform, especially

among teenagers and young adults. With its widespread use, concerns have been
raised about the potential impact of excessive Facebook usage academic
performance. Senior high school student, in particular, are at a crucial stage of
their education where maintaining good academics performance is essential for
their future prospects.

The background of the study would highlight the importance of

understanding the relationship between Facebook usage and academic
performance among senior high school students. It may discuss previous research
findings, which could mixed or inconclusive, leading to the need for further
investigation. The background would emphasize the significance of this research
in contributing to the existing body of knowledge and providing insights for
educators’, parents, and policymakers.

By conducting a quantitative research study, researchers can gather

empirical data to examine the potential effects of Facebook usage on academic
performance. This type of study would involve collecting numerical data through
surveys or other quantitative methods to analyze the relationship between
Facebook usage patterns and academic outcomes, such as grades, test scores, and
study habits.

Overall, the background of the study would aim to provide a clear context for the
research, justify it’s significance, and highlight the need for further investigation
into the impact of Facebook usage on the academic performance of senior high
school students.

Objective of the study

This study aims to explore the effect of facebook on the

academic performance of SHS students.

Research questions
1. What time of the day do the respondents spend on facebook?
2. How long the respondents use facebook?
3. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

4. Average grade of all subject that taken in first semester?

Hypothesis

The amount of time spent on Facebook is negatively correlated with academic

performance among senior high school students.
In this hypothesis, the descriptive variable is the amount of time spent on
Facebook, which is used to describe the behavior or characteristic being studied. The
hypothesis suggests that there is a negative relationship between Facebook usage and
academic performance, implying that as the amount of time spent on Facebook
increases, academic performance decreases.
To test this hypothesis, researchers would collect data on the amount of time
students spend on Facebook and their corresponding academic performance measures,
such as grades or test scores. Statistical analysis can then be conducted to determine if
there is a significant correlation between Facebook usage and academic performance.
It's worth noting that this hypothesis assumes a negative relationship between
Facebook usage and academic performance. However, the actual findings of the study
may support or reject this hypothesis, leading to further insights and conclusions about
the effects of Facebook on academic performance among senior high school students.

Data Collection Procedure

First, we need to identify our target population, which in this case

in senior high school students, we can use a random sampling method
to ensure that every student has an equal chance of being selected for
the study. This will helps to make our finding more generalizable.
Next, well design a survey to collect data on students Facebook usage
and academic performance. The survey could include question about
how often they use Facebook, what they use it for, how much time they
spent on it and their grades. Once the survey is ready, well distribute it
to the student in our sample. Depending on what most convenient for
the students, well need to ensure that the student understand the
purpose of the study and that their responses will be kept confidential.

After the survey are turned, well enter the data into a statistical
software program for analysis, well need to check the data for any
errors for inconsistencies and clean it if necessary. Finally, well analyze
the data to see if there are any patterns or relationship between
Facebook usage, academic performance, and social interaction. This
could include running statistical tests, creating graphs, or calculating
average.
Ethical Considerations
