THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter includes the introduction, background of the study, conceptual framework,
theoretical framework, statement of the problem, scope and limitation, significance of the study,
and the definition of terms used.

I. Introduction

Social media is a computer technology that facilitates the sharing of ideas,

thoughts and information through the creation of virtual networks and
communities. Social media is online in its structure and enables rapid transmission
of electronic content. Content includes personal information, documents, videos
and photos. Users connect to social media on a computer, tablet Or smartphone
through web-based software or web applications, which often use it to send
messages. Social media platforms can be very distracting, causing students to
spend more time browsing channels instead of studying. This can reduce
concentration and productivity during study sessions.

With social media constantly available on smartphones and other devices,

students can procrastinate by engaging in social media instead of studying. This can
lead to poor time management and finishing tasks quickly. Excessive use of social
media has been linked to impaired cognitive abilities, including attention and
concentration. This can negatively affect a student’s ability to understand and retain
information while studying. Many students use social media late at night, which can
disrupt their sleep patterns. Insufficient sleep negatively affects cognitive function
and academic performance.
 Social media often portrays unrealistic standards of success and beauty,
leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem in students. This can affect
their motivation to learn and their overall mental well-being. While social media can
provide a wealth of information, it can also be overwhelming for students as they try
to filter out content related to their studies. This can lead to confusion and difficulty
distinguishing between reliable sources and fake information. However, it’s
important to note that social media can also have positive effects on study habits.
For example, students can use platforms like YouTube and educational forums to
access supplemental learning materials and connect with peers for collaborative
studying.

II. Background of the Study

The benefits and of social media optimization exceed each other because it
has an impact on students’ academic achievement. Reference claim that social
networking sites draw students’ attention before diverting it to unsuitable and non-
educational activities, such as pointless chit-chatting. Reference also pointed out that
although social networks- which have grown to be incredibly popular and well-
known over the past few years- are undoubtedly a progression of technology, they
are especially dangerous for teenagers.

III. Theoretical framework

A study examining how social media affects senior high school pupils at Gov.
Juanito Reyes Remulla SHS’s study habits might base its theoretical framework on
a number of important theories and ideas.

According to social cognitive theory, behavior, environment, and people all

dynamically interact and mutually , when learning takes place in a social
environment. Social context and individual factors influence and influence social
media use.
The idea of media multitasking and cognitive control stems from the fact that, for
example, the use of social media during study periods can affect cognitive
functioning. Control functions, such as the ability to analyze external information
and switch between tasks.

Technological determinism: This is the idea that social media and other forms of
technology influence how people think, feel, and behave in society and how society
functions. . It can be used to study the impact of social media on learning habits.

The concept of uses and gratifications helps us understand why students use social
media and what needs it fulfills for them. This can help determine if and how these
uses promote or hinder learning habits.

Distraction-conflict idea: According to this idea, performing an important activity

(like studying) can interfere with a competing task (like browsing social media).
Create an attentional conflict that can interfere with the main task.(2023-2024).

Schools can use the results to develop policies and programs that promote responsible use of social
media by students. They can also provide resources and support for students to effectively manage
their online activities while focusing on their studies.

Future Researchers
The study can inform future research on this topic, allowing researchers to use existing knowledge
and explore new ways of relating the impact of social media to education..
