INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE

"Quit counting fans, followers and blog subscribers like battle cap. Think instead

about what you are hoping to achieve with and through community that actually cares

about what are you doing." - Amber Naslund

Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with your family, friends and socialized

with other people through internet. Nearly 85 percent of the students to log on to

Facebook everyday according to, Techrunch.com. Facebook is the perfect place to stay

connected and you can keep update your photos and profile information that will allow

you to make new friends all over the world. Facebook will access for you to thousands

of friends but it has negative effects due to addiction of using. Facebook users are

mostly High school students that they are always using facebook every day. Mostly of

the facebook users are students that they are always using facebook instead of

concentrating on their homework or studying for their lesson or their exams, they are

spending hours of chatting with their friends on sites instant messenger.

Nowadays, Facebook has a lot of problem to face. Cyber-bullying is one, cyber

bullies made harassment to the netizens. Student's preferred of using facebook instead

of making homework, doing their household chores, that is the reason why they have

low grades. In our place in Manjuyod, teachers confirmed that students who always use
facebook have low self-confidence. In the Philippines they are implement laws for the

proper use of social media which is the "Anti-cyber Bullying Act of 2015".

The main purpose of this research study is to make things clearer about the

proper usage of facebook. Using facebook must be in the proper way because if it will

not be in proper use it might cause negative effects to the student's everyday life. In

Manjuyod National High School the use of Facebook of the students in uncontrolled,

some students post their personal photos or other personal views which are not good

and it must be stop, because it has negative effects on them. This research aims to

know the real effects of facebook that the High School students should know it, so that

they would now be aware of it. Facebook has negative effects because of those online

activities which they prefer to spend time instead of studying; parents are concerned

about the academic performance of their children. We acquire this idea in choosing a

research study because, nowadays facebook is uncontrolled, and students views

Facebook as part of their life and it should not be like that. The researchers are once a

High School student but preferred sharing problems through parents and friends not

through social media.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Facebook is a social networking website and service where users can post

comments, share photographs and links to news or other interesting content on the web,

play games, live chat, and even stream live video. Shared content can be made

publicity accessible, or it can be shared only among a select group of friends or family,

or with a single person. Given the high volume usage of SNS, an obvious and popular

concern among faculty, administrators, and parents is the widespread notion that

students spend far too much time on none academic activities related to the internet and

social media. Countless articles in popular newspapers, periodicals, and blogs have

raised these very the same concerns (Bart, 2009; Ingram, 2011; Ojalvo, 2011; Schulten,

2009). The most salient concern among scholars, educators, and the public however is

related to the effects of social networking sites such as Facebook on the time dedicated

to studying and offline activities.

Hence, Facebook usage has been associated with both positive and negative

impacts to different aspects of people's lives, including positive impacts, such as

improving relationships between friends and family and negative impacts such as low

academic performance; health, personal relationships problems; and social problems.

These are discussed below.

Besides the benefit of Facebook use, negative impacts of its use have also been

identified, including: impaired academic performance, health problems, personal

relationship problems and social dysfunction. For example, a number of studies have

reported the ways in which Facebook usage impairs students' lives. Scherer (1997)

found that 13% of his respondents reported difficulties in their academic work and
professional performance due to their Facebook use. Nalwa and Anand (2003) found

that Facebook addictive users used for long sessions, resulting in personal behavioral

problems and neglect of important work responsibilities. Chou and Hsiao (2000)

explored Facebook Addiction among college that results in more negative consequences

in their studies those non-addicts. This conclusion parallels a study by Young (1996),

who found that internet addicts experienced personal, family, occupational problems,

and academic difficulties, causing poor grades and eventually expulsion from

universities.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Thus, this chapter provides a fully detailed account of the research methodology,

the reason that the various research strategies were selected and the rationale for the

sample selection process. It also deals with the issues of why the particular survey

instrument was selected as being appropriate for the current study. To start with, the

study site were introduced, followed by a presentation of research design, the sample

selection, data collection process, the data collection tool and further more description

on how the data will be analyzed.

RESEARCH DESIGN

As it has been indicated earlier, the main purpose of this research is to access

the impact of Facebook usage on students’ academic performance. So, to attain the

intended objectives, mixed approach were chosen as the research questions contain

both qualitative and quantitative natures. On top of this, it is believed that mixed methods

provide better information to understand a particular phenomenon under investigation

than single method, as the failure of one method could be compensated by the other

(Ary et al., 2010). Since the present study is intended to respond to research questions

of quantitative and qualitative natures, data collection and analysis techniques from both

methodologies were implemented. Hence, descriptive research design is chosen as it

enables the researcher to describe the current situation of the study area.
