.chatting has been also an addition and it has been a great help to those

separated by time and distance. Online forums also exist for open

discussions about a certain topic. Another factor that makes people glued on

the internet is entertainment. In terms of watching movies, one does not

have to go to the cinema just to have one. One can download it online, even

with subtitles and the highest quality possible.

Too much of something is bad. The internet offers a wide range of

things to keep your soul alive in the middle of the night. From movies, songs,

stories, articles, through the internet, you’d be provided with every bit of a

thing you need. Indeed, it has inviting features, but would you let yourself

be fooled with it? Until when? Internet addiction is a very serious thing that

people in this age face. It has even evolved to Internet Addiction Disorder

(IAD). Those exposed in a very long time in the internet is at higher risk

with this disease, particularly the students.

This study is highly significant to the society since they only have a

very shallow knowledge about his topic. Furthermore, it helps in raising

awareness that internet addiction is something that should be taken

seriously. Students are frequently exposed in the internet. Are they internet

addicts? Do they limit themselves when it comes to the usage of internet?

Do they find it boring when they are not online? Do they spend more time

using the internet instead of spending it with their loved ones? Do they have

frequent mood swings? These questions prompted the researchers to further

 3

delve into this study. The study aims to know if the High School Students

are addicted to the internet and how does it affect their lives holistically.

With the help of the variables mentioned, it would raise awareness to all the

students and the people in general to help lessen their usage on the internet

and to have a better control and discipline.

Review of Related Literature

Adolescents. These people are already in the stage of adulting and

are no longer children. As stated by Ricciardi (2010) adolescence starts from

ages 10 to 24. Physical and emotional changes are common in adolescence

and it is driven by certain hormones in the body. In this stage, they are

starting to mature and build more intimate relationships with other people.

Age. Rapid development of technology in information society and

particularly the invention and improvement of internet led to major changes

in human life. Age matters with the usage of internet, Choi et al., (2008)

reported that internet addiction was more common among young people

rather than old. The age range between 19 to 29 has a significant difference

of using of internet. Also, according to (Öztürk et al. 2007), there is a

significant and visible effect on every ages, however, mainly on adolescent

and the young people have an urged to the importance of the issue. Adding

that internet addiction turned out to be a serious risk factor particularly for

12-18 age group. The Seville et al, (2010) conducted a similar research

about high school student and reported that internet addiction scores higher

with students who just started school rather than other students which the

result can be interpreted as a cope up mechanism to the environment.

Gender. Hahn and Jerusalem (2001) conduct a research about

belonging of scores in internet addiction varied to the gender. As a result,

 5

males turn out to have more usage of internet when compared females.

However, internet use levels of females increased in years. Supporting the

result of Hahn and Jerusalem, Choi et al., (2008) reported that in some

college male students are more prone to internet addiction when compared

to female student. Based on Karaman and Kurtoğlu (2009) research, they

conducted only to pre-service teachers to determine the addiction of internet

varies to the gender. As a result, male pre-service teachers were more

addicted to internet than female pre- service teachers.

Hours spent online. According to Kaiser (2010). The average

children or teenager ages 8 to 18 spend their hours online with the average

of 10 hours and 45 minutes per day. That summarizes into 75 hours and 15

minutes per week, and twice as many hours as their parents put into full-

time work. Adolescence spending their hours on the internet takes them into

the real world experiences and may result in poor academic performance

and their risk for depression and lack of time needed for sleep and etc. The

internet takes up half of their day. Most youth their internet use is well

manage as they balance internet use with school works, sports, and friends.

According to Anderson (2015).Teenagers aged between 16 and 24 spend

more than 27 hours a week on the internet. Individuals are often spending

twice as much time online compared to last decade. Caused by increasing

use of gadgets such as tablets, smart phones and etc. The biggest increase

has been among young adults, with time spent online almost thrice from 10
 6

hours and 24 minutes each week in 2005 to 27 hours and 36 minutes in

2014. The average person spends more than 20 hours in the internet a week,

which includes time spent on the internet at school or work.

Hours of studying. The hours of study of the student varies due to

extra-curricular activities of the students and also it depends on how many

subject they have. Students need to spend more time to study, in order to

understand the subject. According to Intelligent (2018) as a general rule of

thumb that the students need to spend time to study about 2 hours in order

to be more productive and can understand the lessons well. As stated by

Signh, H. (2017, April 3) the most average time that the human can study in

a day is 5-6 hours. It really suits for the students who want to study hard

get 90% or above high marks. According to the National Center for

Biotechnology Information at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the

average attention span of a human being has dropped from 12 seconds in

2000 to 8 seconds in 2013. Kraut et al, (1996) says as the attention span

gets shorter the students will find more interesting and get distracted with

their studies and make an obstacle for the students. According to Tenopir et

al. (2003) the number of hours spent on internet will affect the grades of

students depending on if the internet is used for study purpose or social

purposes. According to Coyne et al (2013) uses of the Internet like online

streaming media usage will potentially influence a student’s academic

performance. Based on Roiworld (2010) teenagers spend approximately 2.3

 7

hours online a day and 80 percent of the time is on social networking sites.

Lenhart (2009) reported that even students doing multi-tasking between

social networking sites and homework are likely to have 20 percent lower

grades than the students who does not have any account in social

networking sites.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the relationship between First Quarter

Grade and hours spent online in terms of non-academic activities and hours

spent for studying among students in Bankal National High School.

Specifically, we quest to answer the following question or problem:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1 age;

1.2 sex; and

1.3 grade level

2. What is the amount of time spent on the internet in terms of non-

academic activities per day?

3. What is the amount of time spent in studying per day?

4. Is there a significant relationship between hours of time spent on the

internet per day and hours of studying per day?

5. Is there a significant relationship between hours spent on the internet

and Academic performance?

6. Is there a significant relationship between hours of studying per day

and Academic performance?

7. What recommendation can be referred from the study?

 9

Hypothesis

Null Hypotheses

H01: There is no significant relationship between the following variables:

a. hours spent online in terms of non-academic activities

b. hours of studying

Ho2: There is no significant relationship between the academic performance

and the following variables:

a. hours spent online in terms of non-academic activities

c. hours of studying
 10

Significance of the Study

The study is highly significant so that the usage of internet in every

student would be regulated. Focusing on these variables, this study is

beneficial to the following:

Students. This would help the students control and limit their usage

of the internet and prevent them from having internet addiction.

Teachers. This would help the teachers raise awareness to the

students that internet addiction is happening right now, and they can help

prevent it in an earlier time.

Parents. This would orient the parents to impose a time limit for

their children to use their internet.

Future Researchers. This would aid the future researchers in

making further studies that is in parallel to our research study. Moreover,

this would serve as a convenient tool for them in making their study since

this is already collected and is already compiled for them. They may use the

tool as a guide for improvements and further studies.

 11

Scope and Limitation

The study is employing the descriptive correlational design using these

factors: hours of spent online in terms of non-academic activities, hours of

sleep, and academic performance. Forty (40) participants will be gathered

per grade level. A survey will be used to gather the data.

 12

Research Methodology

Research Instruments

The Researcher used one tool, particularly a survey to gather data for

the study, which will be answered by a total of 40 students per grade level.

Research Procedure

Gathering of Data

After gaining access and acquiring all permission that the researchers

must acquire from the Bankal National High School in conducting the survey,

they will dig into the gathering of data needed on the profile, hours of

internet usage in terms of non-academic activities, hours of sleep, and

academic performance. For this, the researcher is allotting one (1) month

which was on August 17, 2018 and September 17 to gather and compile all

data needed.

The researchers will be intake of the 3-item survey about the level of

addiction in usage of internet. The questionnaire was modified and

developed to collect data on the study constructs and comprises. These

three (3) main variables, namely, hours of internet usage in terms of non-
 18

academic activities, hours of sleep, and academic performance will be

correlated and will be interpreted.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data gathered will be submitted to the following statistical

treatments:

Simple percentage will be utilized for the demographic profile.

Weighted mean will determine the entire response distribution of the

respondents.

Test of relationship of variables, hours of internet usage in terms of

non-academic activities, hours of sleep, and academic performance will be

treated using Pearson R correlation for normalized data and Spearman Rank

for non-normalized data.

Table 2 presents the hours spent on the internet in terms of non-

academic activities. It has the greatest frequency of 1.00-3:74 hours which

is interpreted that the students have less time of spending internet because
 22

students are very busy of school works. This was a clear indication that

students are overloaded in their school works and responsibilities at home

(Varga 2017) . According to Kaiser (2010), the average children or teenager

ages 8 to 18 spend their hours online with the average of 10 hours and 45

minutes per day. That summarizes into 75 hours and 15 minutes per week,

and twice as many hours as their parents put into full-time work. Most youth

their internet use is well manage as they balance internet use with school

works, sports, and friends.

Table 3 presents the hours spent on studying per day. It has the

greatest frequency of 0-3.74 hours which is interpreted that the students

have less time of studying because students have responsibilities in their

houses. The hours of study of the student varies due to extra-curricular

 23

activities of the students and also it depends on how many subject they

have. According to Intelligent (2018) as a general rule of thumb that the

students need to spend time to study about 2 hours in order to be more

productive and can understand the lessons well. Students nowadays, have

less attention span. Kraut et al, (1996) says as the attention span gets

shorter the students will find more interesting and get distracted with their

studies and make an obstacle for the students.

the null hypothesis is rejected. This means that the hours of using internet

and hours of studying doesn’t plainly contribute to the academic

performance of the student. According to the study of the students in the

State of Kelantan, Malaysia (2014) stated that the time spent using internet
 24

does not correlate with the time of study, this refers to the preferable time

in studying among in Malaysia; using internet for them is leisure to visit with.

This study suggests that they allocate time only to study and a time to use

internet only for leisure.

The test of correlation between the hours of using internet and

evidence that the null hypothesis is rejected. This means that the having

high hours of studying does not necessarily guarantee high academic

performance and vice versa. There may be other factors that could

contribute to high academic performance such as family, inspirations, goals,

and dreams of the students. According to Online Universities (2018), Family

is one of the factors; it plays a big role in shaping your attitudes towards

school and academic performance. Studies shows that adolescents who feel

responsible to their parents were more likely motivated to stay engage in

school and perform better in their task. In additional, Sleep can lead to high

academic performance. Study demonstrates the need to get a solid night’s

sleep if you want to improve or maintain your high grades. Regardless of the
 26

age, getting enough plenty of sleep is an essential for the student; it is an

aspect to get a better academic performance.

 27

CHAPTER 3

SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

Significant Findings

Profile of the senior high students

1.1 Age

Senior high students’ response is an indicator in usage of

internet and academic performance, which will then determine their

correlation. Most of the students are from the ages 16- 18 years

old.

1.2 Gender

Majority of the respondents are females. Most of the senior high

students are females.

1.3 Grade level

Majority of the respondents are grade 11.

Time spent on internet

Most of students uses internet less than 4 hours. This shows that

students have less time of internet because they are very busy of school

works.
 28

Hours spent of studying per day

Nearly all of the students study less than 4 hours because of having

the responsibilities in their houses and it varies also to the numbers of

subjects they take.

Correlation between the hours of using internet and hours

studying per day

There was no significant relationship between the hours of using

internet and studying per day, which means that the hours of using

internet and hours of studying doesn’t plainly contribute to the academic

performance of the student.

Correlation between the hours of using internet and academic

performance

There was no significant correlation between the hours of using

internet and academic, thus, using the internet for a long time and

academic performance have a weak relationship.

 29

Conclusion

The student’s hours spent in studying and hours of using the internet

does not just determine the student’s academic performance. There are

other factors that could highly affect the student’s academic performance.

Student’s hours spent in studying are quite low because they may have

other tasks to do aside from studying. The student’s hours spent in using the

internet is only moderate since in a day, they have a lot of other tasks to do.

The hours spent in studying and hours spent on using the internet has a low

impact on the student’s academic performance. Hours spent in studying and

academic performance has a weak relationship because the duration of

studying cannot immediately predict the students’ academic performance.

The hours spent on using the internet and academic performance has a

weak relationship because there are a lot of factors that could possibly help

increase or decrease the academic performance.

 30

Recommendations

The future researchers must observe the proper way of gathering the

data especially the academic performance. The scope must be wider in

terms of location. The researchers had gathered data from public school only

which is Bankal, Lapu-Lapu City. For further comparison and significance,

similar data must be gathered from both public and private school such as

Marigondon High School, Asian Learning Center, and such. The sample or

the respondents must be increased to ramp up the generalization of

population. Larger sample size adjusts for lesser errors and more

representatives for the represented population. The future researchers must

brainstorm more possible factors that can affect the academic performance

aside those mentioned in the study.
