ABSTRACT

The researchers made a study on the Academic Performance and Social Media

Habits of Grade 8 Students of San Isidro National High School S. Y. 2019 – 2020

In this study the respondents will answer a questionnaire that would reflect their

academic performance, time spent in reading activity and time spent in social media and

online games usage. This research intends to find significant effect of reading habits and and

social media habits in the Academic Performance of the respondents of the study.

This action research is descriptive because it aims to find out if the time spent in reading and

the time spent on social media has effect on the student’s academic performance. The

researchers used a simple survey questionnaire to know the academic rating of the

respondents last school year and the time they spent in reading and on social media. The

researcher used the grade students as their respondents since both of them are in grade 8.

Most of the grade 8 students spend less time in reading. It shows that most of them

don’t value reading. It reveals that there is a direct relationship between the Academic

performance of the students and the time they spend in reading because as the time of the

students spend in reading increases the performance rating of the students also increases.

Most of the grade 8 students spend 2 hours and more on social media. It also shows that

even though students spend so much time on social media it does not have direct

relationship with their academic rating. Even the time spent on social media increases it

doesn’t affect their academic rating. The result also shows that 65% of the grade 8 students

spend their time on social media while only 35% spend their time in reading.
