Evaluating the Impact of Facebook Use on Grade 12 Humanities and Social Science Students' Academic Performance at Nasugbu East Senior High School

Abstract

This study Evaluated the Impact of Facebook use on Grade 12 Humanities and Social Science Students' Academic Performance at Nasugbu East Senior High School, Academic Year 2023-2024. Descriptive research method was employed in the study that involved two hundred eighty-four (284) Grade 12 students. One hundred sixty-four (164) Grade 12 students were the respondents of the study selected through Raosoft sample size calculator. It is quite likely that respondents stated that Facebook is a useful tool for students to interact and communicate with one another rather than necessary for finding information that will help them with their academic studies. Additionally, they said that Facebook's contribution to their learning process is limited to educating students about specific topics that they can use to their education in order to improve their academic performance. In a similar vein, there is a notable disparity between how students view their use of Facebook and how much it influences their academic learning. Although they consider Facebook to be a communication tool, they conclude that its main contribution to students' learning is raising awareness of particular concerns. Lastly, an action plan is proposed in managing the extent of utilizing Facebook to the academic performance of students in Humanities and Social Sciences.
