CHAPTER I
The Problem and Review of Related Literature
Introduction
Social media invaded people when they started to
communicate. Social media consists of various user driven
channels (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube). It is a great
and convenient way to communicate with others. Social media
describes the online tools that people use to share content,
profiles, opinion, insights, experiences, perspectives, and media
itself, thus facilitating conversations and interaction online
between groups of people (Solis, 2009).
The researchers define social media in their study as a tool
of communication, entertainment, and information. Social media is
widely use nowadays, including the different website. For
example, in 2010 as report show American teenagers about 73% of
them use social networking site, and 75% have a cell phone.
Students are not always have media literacy skills that can help
them to effectively analyse, understand,, and evaluate new forms
of information and make smart decision about its quality and
uses(Rowland’s et. Al. (2008).

The most popular social media platforms are Facebook,
YouTube, and Google, it become more comprehensive when it comes
to the use of it. Facebook user profiles allow the people to
communicate with each other which let them build harmonious
relationships among others. According to Martinez – Aleman and
Wartman, 2009, in the last previous years, social media is use to
connect with higher education students is increasingly responded.
Academic excellence of achievements plays are important role in
an individual placement, be it in the academic institution. Due
to this, many people are concern with the ways they can enhance
their academic achievement. The emphasis on academic excellence
which is also prevalent worldwide has encourage many studies
about the conditions promoting it, the role of academic
achievement as one of the predictors one’s life success also in
the aspect of academic placement in schools to higher
institutions as well as the level of employability in one’s
career is inevitable(Kyoshaba, 2009).
The reason why we conducted this research is to identify the
effects of social media in academic achievements of student if
the social media helps to improve their study or it cause to

lower the grades. How long they use social media in their study
or they will use social media to communicate to other people.
Review of Related Literature and Studies
It is scripted by an investigator who views the significant
points of recent information which contain outcomes, abstract and
methodological addition to a specific topic. Literature reviews
are secondary resource as did not report any new or creative
experiment work mostly literatures reviews are linked with
academic-oriented literature, consisting thesis or fellow-
reviewed article, it mostly takes a research proposal and results
paragraph. It is a major objective to locate the recent study in
the body of literature and to give reference of a specific
reader. It is combining of researches in near every educational
area. It relies on a research question, calculation, select and
analyse all high quality research suggestions related to the
question. Analysis is a system that can be used for statistical
methods, which efficiently link the information used on all
chosen studies to develop effective outcomes.
Social media is the interaction among individuals in which
they create, share information and ideas in communities and also

in networks. Social media rely on cell phone and internet-based
technologies for developing most interconnected platforms which
help people and groups to discuss, create, share out, and convert
generated content. Student is a scholar, or person connects to
educational complex. In our Pakistan twelve-year school is fall
in category of 3 stages: Primary level, Secondary level and
higher level school. It contains5 years of a student to graduate
through Primary level, 3 years for Secondary level and 2 years
for higher level school. Bachelor's degree is of 4 years and
after 2 years of Master's degree. Basically this study is about
how social Media networks effects the performance of students
that how their grade points affected through using such networks.
Some most commonly used social Medias are Facebook, Skype,
twitter, YouTube, Google. In different countries a large number
of researchers have been work on this issue to evaluate this
increasing trend among students. Most of the studies presented
the results in against Social Media and argued that it has
negative results for student and younger generation. According to
this study social media has emerging positive effect on the
students and causes for their high results grade. These studies
also argued that students spent most of their time on such

activates and easily completed their home assignments and
Projects. Students having age group of 23 were notice to like
more to use text messaging and web calling instant messaging by a
significant margin. An annual survey of ECAR made a collection of
data and chooses undergraduates of 100 universities and colleges
in USA. According to their statistics usage of social networking
in not much changed for young students. In a survey of 2007, in
older students there is a dramatic increase of social networking.
In contrast Twitter, also, promotes social networking among
students. It can be used to increase communication skills and
thinking among them. Domizi(2013) a seminar is conducted in
graduate students in which they were told to use Twitter and
weekly post tweets in order to extend discussions of classroom.
After that Students used Twitter account to connect with their
content and with other students. In Addition, students having
remarks about twitter is that “twitter is useful personally and
professionally” Junco, Heibergert, and Lokenet al (2011) a study
is conducted on 132 students in order to examine the relationship
of social media and engagement of students with it& social media
and grades of students. To examine this relationship the students
were divided into two groups, one group use twitter and the other
group did not use twitter account. It was used to make
discussions about study material, organize the study groups in a
manner, also post the announcements of class, and remain in touch
with class fellows. Junco and his co-workers (2011) surprised
that the students of Twitter group achieve greater GPAs and
higher scores than the other group J,S et al (2011)Examine by
online mailing questionnaires to respondents that the Person
having smart phones are the most frequent users of social
networking sites and have easy access to these sites, more over
it showed that junior and senior student are more interesting to
use twitter, Linked In and read blogs. twitter and Linked In
having more rating by older students to communicate and shared
information and material with their friends and the younger are
frequent user of Facebook for their different activities while
usage of such media have no negative effect on students grades
Shambare, R et al. (2012) Conduct a study on Social networking
habits among students their study indicates that such Medias most
commonly used by Younger‟s and Facebook is most widely using by a
large number of communities and have multiple effects on
student's life. The high speed and quickly approach to internet
and the development of smart phone technology are most important

drivers behind the adoption and connectivity with social
networking websites and conclude that SNS enhance their knowledge
level. AhmadA’(2011)their study showed that social networking
sites have number of advantages for their users, it enable the
community to keep in touch with their peers and relink with old
ones and help to find new friends according to your interest from
all around the and a large number of persons are linking with
these networks. Hence the network of social media is growing
globally. Heeter, (2006) a study at University of Michigan State
give information about technology use in higher education,
particularly in relation to faculty. This survey interprets
teaching and learning habits for staff member’s online, students
that are graduate and undergraduate are also included. About 65 %
of faculty and students both read blogs but here faculty for
personal information was more likely read them. Students post for
both educational and personal proposes. Faculty used online photo
sharing programs more than students such as Flicker, but about 50
% of both groups used it. Students used Facebook 70 % while
faculty used less than 10 % of either Facebook or MySpace.
Students send text message more likely. Lenhart(2009), for online
users most popular is social networking. Especially, for

particular international students which are using their internet
for building new relationships, also for study, and the other
students using the internet in their host country. To develop new
relationships with students they also utilized technologies from
their entertainer country. Rather than focus on build and
maintain relationships, primary goal of students‟ was to meet
academic needs this research’s major focus on using Internet as a
whole Lin et al. (2011) focusing on a study conducted primarily
on the Facebook outcomes, which are used by international
students in the USA. The researchers found that Facebook usage
contributed to students‟ ability to participate socially and
culturally in their new environment. It is founded in a survey
that out of the international students, 46 % of students point
out a social media site De Andreaetal.(2002) it is founded that
the social support is expanded by social networking. New students
are allowed to adjust in successful academic study. Junco et al
(2011) it is founded that when Facebook Groups allow the students
to do political or public engagement, rather than using social
networking websites for social contribution, students are using
these sites for public involvement. This perception is carry by
Junco study, where it was originated that students use Facebook

for cause other than to socialize. Information collecting and
Information sharing activities make up a time to spend on
Facebook as student. Students which use Facebook more for data
sharing and collecting activities get high grades than those who
used it for socializing This evidence suggest that students use
Facebook for study activities however it is positive or not.
Conceptual Framework
This conceptual framework presents, the American
Psychological Association (APA) style to show problem of the
study. In this style, it shows the independent and the dependent
variables. The independent variable shows who influences the
dependent variable specifically social media like Facebook
,Messenger and Youtube while in the dependent variable, it shows

Sample and Sampling Procedure
The researcher distributed their questionnaire in San Antonio
Central School in Grade VI pupils from section first to last. In
every section we distributed only for 21 study students, we have
a total of 105 respondents.
Validation of the Questionnaire

The researcher will gather items through modified
questionnaire from the study. The researcher will prepare the
questionnaire base on their research and other reading resources.
On the first draft, the researchers are assisted by their adviser
on how to formulate questions. The adviser assisted them and
tells some mistake, comments and suggestions as a base revising
and improving the content.
Research Instrument
The tool used in this study is questionnaire. It is the
research instrument used to gather data and information about
impact of social media on achievement in each of every Grade VI
pupils at San Antonio Central School.
Data Gathering Procedure
In conducting the study, the researchers distributed
questionnaire as an instrument to data gathering. They prepared

variable included in their research adviser to ask for his
approval before they were finally able to conduct enough copies
of the questionnaire intended to their respondents. The

researcher asked permission from the principal of the
corresponding school to conduct their research study.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The data that were gathered through the use of questionnaire

had used the following statistical tools:
1. Frequency and percentage distribution - were used to describe

the profile and basis of the Grade 8 students of Cabiao National
High School.
Percentage Formula:
F
%= x 100
N
where: % = Percentage
F = Frequency
N = total number of population
Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient– is a number that

summarizes the direction and degree (closeness) of linear
relation between two variables.
(∑ x)(∑ y )
∑ xy −
n
r= 2
√ ¿2 ¿ ¿
where:
r = Pearson’s coefficient of correlation between variables x and

y.
∑xy = sum of the product of the deviation between variables x and

y.
∑x = the sum of weighted mean of the variable x.
∑y = the sum of weighted mean of the variable y.
N = total number of subjects.
Weighted Mean – this was used to describe the levels of

perception of the respondents on the different factors that
affect, the formula to be use is:
∑f
WM =
wf
where:
WM = weighted mean
∑f = total number of respondents
Wf = sum of frequencies multiplied by respective deviation
These weights represent the significance of each quantity to
the average. To compute for the weighted mean, each value must be
multiplied by its weight. The total weight should also be

computed by adding all the weights. The total value is then
divided by the total weight.

and convenient way to communicate with others. Social media

describes the online tools that people use to share content,
