Social media use and social networking poured internationally in the present that no academic
institutions could stop its impact on education. Researches were conducted on the impact of these technologies
and its effectivity to certain school conditions. Hence, this study aimed at describing the extent of the usage of
social media as a vehicle to the improvement of study habits of the Carolinians especially to the stratified
proportionate and randomly chosen 50 Grade Ten students of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education
Department – South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Descriptive survey research using simple percentage,
mean and standard deviation was done using an adapted survey questionnaire which was tested for face and
content validity. To obtain reliability, the tool was pilot tested and was proven to be reliable (α = 0.891) using
Cronbach‘s Alpha. Based on the gathered data, students spent most of their time in social networking sites
whether on a typical day (28%) or weekend (46%) and they usually do this inside their bedroom (46%) or in an
internet café (54%) outside. They usually use their mobile phones (76%) to visit social sites and the majority
(34%) received less parental support. In terms of the students‘ level of study habit, it was rated average ( x =
3.32, SD = 0.33). This means that the use of social media does not give a negative influence on the study habits
of the students in this study. Even if most of them utilized whatever available technology they have such as their
mobile phones and they spend most of their time on internet cafés, it was recommended that parental
involvement and teachers‘ wise use of technology, pedagogy, and content should be strengthened for these
partners still play a significant role in achieving success both in instruction and education.

The Role of the Instruction of Reading Comprehension Strategies in Enhancing ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :Throughout my studies and teaching English in different language centers and higher studies
institutions, I have come to conclude that students consider Reading comprehension as a nightmare that
frightens them and hinders their language acquisition in the Moroccan EFL Context. This may cause them to
develop an internal psychological obstacle that grows as their lack of the necessary instruments or tools to
overcome are not equipped with. They become lost and unaware about or unfamiliar with the necessary reading
comprehension strategies that could help them to face the problem of misunderstanding or non-understanding
of English texts. Respectively, this article which is only one part of my whole study aims at showing the effect
of teaching reading strategies in enhancing the S1 students‟ familiarity with reading strategies and raising their
frequency use. A sample of 283 University students in EFL context have been chosen randomly and have
attended the usual academic reading classes, yet only 76 are subject to this survey. 38 of them constitute the
experimental group who have attended the treatment regularly in one of the language centers and the other 38
participants are chosen randomly from the whole population to constitute the Control group. They all have

prevalent factors thatdrive these children to their behaviors. Further, the study sought to determinethe
manifestation of psychosocial factors in terms of life satisfaction, emotionalsupport, self-esteem, and personality
traits. The study's data came from N-83children in conflict with the law (CICL) at the Regional Rehabilitation
Center forYouth (RRCY) in Bago Oshiro, Davao City; all respondents are male. This studyused a total
enumeration sampling technique due to the relatively smallpopulation size. The researchers adapted the
Psychosocial surveyquestionnaires by Zabriskie & Ward (2013) and by John and Srivastava (1999)as well as the
Deviant Behavior Variety Scale (DBVS) by Sanches et al. (2016).Through the use of a validated questionnaire,
the mean and standard deviationare determined. The researchers modified this questionnaire and translated itinto
the respondents' mother tongue (Cebuano) for them to comprehend itbetter. The study discovered no significant
relationship between psychosocialfactors and deviant behaviors of children in conflict with the law (CICL) in
theDavao Region
KEYWORDS :Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL), deviant behaviors, psychosocial factors
Entropy: A Join between Science and Mind-SocietyAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Entropy is join, intersection and interaction between natural science and human mind-society.
We proposed that if internal interactions exist in isolated systems, entropy decrease will be possible for this
system. Management in system is a typical internal interaction within the isolated system. The purpose of
management is to use regulating the internal interactions within the system, and to decrease the increasing
entropy spontaneously. We propose the principle of social civilization and the developing direction is: freedom
of thought, rule of action. Both combinations should be a peaceful revision and improvement of social rules and
laws. Different countries and nations, different religions and beliefs should coexist peacefully and compete
peacefully. The evolution of human society must be coevolution. Its foundation is the evolution of the human
heart and the human nature.

A Model of Disaster Resilience Among Colleges and Universities: A Mixed Metho...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This research paper aimed to create a comprehensive framework for measuring disaster
resilience in colleges and universities. The study used a mixed method through Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA), which involved analyzing data from a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed based on
in-depth interviews with 12 selected participants from the University of Mindanao, as well as relevant literature
and studies. It was reviewed and validated by 10 experts using a method called Content Validity Ratio (CVR).
This questionnaire was then administered to 400 students from 10 different colleges in University of Mindanao.
After conducting the Exploratory Factor Analysis and performing rotations and iterations, the researchers
identified five main constructs that characterize disaster resilience among colleges (1) disaster preparedness, (2)
disaster awareness, (3) community readiness, and (4) disaster management, (5) disaster resilience. The
researchers aimed to create an organization called “Council of College Disaster Volunteers (CCDV)” which
consist of student volunteers. These factors can be used to develop effective management strategies and
strengthen efforts in preventing and managing disasters and accidents.
KEYWORDS:content validity ratio, criminology, disaster resilience, disaster management, exploratory factor

Environmental Struggles and Justice Among Lumad Farmers of Davao CityAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The study described the various environmental struggles experienced among the participants
and their status in accessing justice. The study followed a qualitative multiple-case study approach; the
participants are the Lumad farmers of Marilog, Davao City selected through a Critical sampling method and
aims to present the environmental violations experienced by the Lumad farmers in Davao City and how it
affected their families and sustenance further, their status in accessing justice is also explored. The study
concluded that the most common struggles the participant experience are Illegal logging and improper waste
disposal, which affect their farms, family, health, and income. Their preferred means to accessing justice is
through barangay settlement; the rigors of accessing courts, such as distance, expenses, fear of ruling, and the
hassle of being called to be present in court, are the most prevalent barriers that hinder the lead farmers from
accessing justice or seeking legal action. Nevertheless, the participants believed that the government would help
them in accessing justice.

CYBERBULLYING EXPERIENCES OF UNIVERSITY OF MINDANAO CRIMINOLOGY STUDENTSAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT:This paper explores the cyberbullying experiences among Criminology students at the
University of Mindanao. A simple random sampling method was used to distribute the study's online
questionnaire to the respondents and to survey the target population. This study has four hundred (400)
respondents, and the respondents are Criminology students at the University of Mindanao. The findings of this
study revealed that the level of cyberbullying experiences is sometimes manifested. On the other hand, the
cyberbullying experiences of the students indicate a moderate level, which indicates that the cyberbullying
experiences of the respondents are sometimes manifested. Also, the computations showed that among the
indicators presented, the highest mean is obtained in the psychological effect, which implies that there is a
significant effect of cyberbullying experiences of the respondents in terms of the Gender level of the
respondents. Therefore, respondents with a low level of cyberbullying experiences tend to have a moderate level
of cyberbullying experience. However, there is no significant effect in terms of age and year level of the
respondents according to the results regarding the psychological, emotional, and physical impact of
cyberbullying.
KEYWORDS :cyberbullying, emotional, experiences, psychological,physical effect, and simple random

A philosophical ontogenetic standpoint on superego role in human mind formationAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: One of the most significant contributions of psychoanalysis to understand the human being is the
elaboration of a model about the mind from a topical and dynamic perspective. Freud explains the mind by the
constitution of the preconscious, conscious, and subconscious. Later, by three dynamic components: the id, the
ego and the superego. Such an organization of the psychic apparatus supposes not only individual elements, but
social influences along the process of hominization. In this paper, we recover the findings of the renowned
anthropologist Lewis Morgan, trying to link some of them to the psychoanalytic theory. Especially highlighting
the importance of superego in Haidt’s social intuitionism.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

Driving Sustainable Competitive Advantage Through an Innovative Aggregator Bu...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The aim of the research is to analyze the influence of the aggregation business model on
Sustainable Competitive Advantage (SCA). Through a survey of 216 MSMEs in the creative economy sector
selected randomly using an ex post facto causal research approach, an overview of the aggregator business
model and its impact on financial resources and SCA was obtained. The aggregator business model plays a role
in facilitating increased access to financial resources to meet both available and required working capital for
realizing SCA in Malang's Lokanima area. The strength of ABM lies in understanding the resources needed for
SCA and the effectiveness of mobilizing services while considering the most cost-effective options, including
providing various alternatives in their provision. Financial resources are an important factor supporting the
achievement of SCA. Access to financial resources is key to facilitating business growth and sustainability.
Theoretical implications: The concept of the aggregator business model emphasizes the efficient and effective
collection, aggregation, and distribution of resources in connecting service providers with consumers in an
economical and efficient manner. Practical implications: ABM can enhance the performance of financial
resource provision by optimizing relationships with MSMEs and financial institutions, leading to business
growth and sustainability for MSMEs.

Accuracy of ChatGPT for Basic Values of Trigonometric FunctionsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study analyzes the accuracy of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence model based on GPT3.5, in determining the values of basic trigonometric functions. To this end, we examine ChatGPT's responses to
sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent values for a wide range of angles. We compare the results provided by
ChatGPT with the accuracy values determined by basic trigonometry. We also explore differences in accuracy
depending on changes in question complexity and given context. The results show a high level of accuracy of
ChatGPT in determining the values of trigonometric functions, especially for common angles. However, it is
noted that accuracy may be affected in certain cases of extreme angles or complex questions. This analysis
provides an important representation of ChatGPT's capabilities in the field of mathematics, using a new method
for testing the accuracy of artificial intelligence models in determining trigonometric values.

Reorientation of Health Service Governance Toward the Fulfillment of Social J...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Health insurance is a human right. At the practical level, this health insurance program in
Indonesia is organized by BPJS Kesehatan (Social Security Administering Body for Health). The
implementation of BPJS Kesehatan is still not optimal and effective. Three problems are discussed in this
writing: the dynamics of health insurance governance in Indonesia, the implementation of the fulfillment of the
right to health by BPJS Kesehatan, and the reorientation of BPJS Kesehatan services toward social justice.
These problems are then answered by scientific research methods using a sociological juridical approach.
Complaintsoften occur regarding the regulations, the services provided by the health facility providers, and the
distance between the community and the health facilities. Such complaints affect the public interest in becoming
BPJS Kesehatan participants. The aforementioned conditions must be considered and evaluated for the
government's success in the aspired national health insurance plan.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

ABSTRACT: Social media use and social networking poured internationally in the present that no academic
institutions could stop its impact on education. Researches were conducted on the impact of these technologies
and its effectivity to certain school conditions. Hence, this study aimed at describing the extent of the usage of
social media as a vehicle to the improvement of study habits of the Carolinians especially to the stratified
proportionate and randomly chosen 50 Grade Ten students of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education
Department – South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Descriptive survey research using simple percentage,
mean and standard deviation was done using an adapted survey questionnaire which was tested for face and
content validity. To obtain reliability, the tool was pilot tested and was proven to be reliable (α = 0.891) using
Cronbach‘s Alpha. Based on the gathered data, students spent most of their time in social networking sites
whether on a typical day (28%) or weekend (46%) and they usually do this inside their bedroom (46%) or in an
internet café (54%) outside. They usually use their mobile phones (76%) to visit social sites and the majority
(34%) received less parental support. In terms of the students‘ level of study habit, it was rated average ( x =
3.32, SD = 0.33). This means that the use of social media does not give a negative influence on the study habits
of the students in this study. Even if most of them utilized whatever available technology they have such as their
mobile phones and they spend most of their time on internet cafés, it was recommended that parental
involvement and teachers‘ wise use of technology, pedagogy, and content should be strengthened for these
partners still play a significant role in achieving success both in instruction and education.

I. INTRODUCTION
Social media is an array of Internet sites, services, and applications that support teamwork, the creation
of community, cooperation, and sharing [1]. According to Bryer and Zavatarro [2], social media are
technologies that make collaboration probable, enable social dealings and allow dissemination of conclusion
across stakeholders, and these technologies include wikis, blogs, media sharing tools, and networking platforms
just like Facebook and other virtual environments.
Social media and its use have expanded globally in the current years. Users of Facebook reached 750
million as of July 2011, members of LinkedIn were more than 100 million, Twitter tweets were over 177 million
a day, and views on YouTube reached three billion each day as of July 2011[3]. However, despite this recent
trend, Lenhart and others [4] found out that there is a minimal social media use from the faculty and students
even though the use of social media as a vehicle to communicate and to educate is very in demand nowadays.
On the other hand, Ebner, Lienhardt, Rohs, and Meyer [5] mentioned that social media technologies
become a very good supplement to the old ways of teaching and learning since this provide chances for students
to engage and be motivated. Based on the study of Nero and Soroño-Gagani [6], there is a moderately high
correlation between a student's level of engagement and understanding. If they understand the lesson well
through the use of appropriate technology, then they will be more likely to engage and be motivated to join in
classroom discussions. Also, Brady, Holcomb, & Smith [7] noted that combining pedagogy and technology
especially in the delivery of distance education using social media is more effective in providing new
approaches to teaching and learning.
For the past few years, Internet technologies have significantly changed the way people work, play and
interrelate. The Internet has continued to develop and expand until today. While the Internet speed soars, the
number of people and tools that use this rapidly-growing technology also increases [8]. As Horrigan would put
it [9], the Internet has turned out to be the basic way for people‘s daily undertakings, especially with the
emerging and dramatic evolution of technologies like e-mail, research databases, blogs, FB Messenger, eBooks,

e-newspapers, e-Commerce, wikis, and social networking sites. It is increasingly uncommon in the US for a
person to let a day end without going online. Madden [10] described that more than 80% of adults from 18 – 29
years old log in to social networking sites like Facebook. The use of Facebook has elevated the sense of
belongingness of the students in college, and academic performance has been encouragingly associated with this
sense of belongingness [11].
Establishing contacts, interacting with readers, gathering followers and relating to online viewers is
what Social Networking Site or SNS. SNS has been the platform for increasing one's business contacts and
social acquaintances through relating with people online. As cited by Livingstone [12], the need for self-
presentation is usually a sign of young adulthood, and a larger audience has been made possible by SNS as an
avenue for one‘s own parade of character. On the other hand, overlap and mixing of these social platforms,
social networking, and social media, has been observed. According to experts on social media, whole package
platforms just like Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook are thought of as both a tool (social media) and a way to engage
(social networking). However, YouTube is social media since it is a platform for videos. Talking with peers
using LinkedIn is social networking because the two has the same goal - social media tactic.
Hughes [13] describes social media as a group of websites online, practices and services that back
teamwork, social relationship, cooperation, and sharing. College faculty members, who are looking for means to
involve and motivate their students to be more responsible for their learnings, have been attracted to these
technologies. In the same manner, many social media tools like blogs, sites for videos, and social network have
been found to be interesting if integrated into the curriculum [14], by teachers who are attracted to the use of
these technologies in their lessons and in the classroom [15].
According to Koontz and Weihrich [16], Ludwig Von Bertalanffy‘s system theory of the input-output
model assumes that a systematic enterprise or organization does not exist in a void. The environment from
where this system enterprise is created is very important since the enterprise is dependent on it. Furthermore, the
system or organization receives the contributions from the environment, which then are turned into outputs. In
this research, the students (Inputs) and how the social networking impacts the study habits (outputs) can be
observed in their performances in school.
Learning inclinations that allow students to work in private are called study habits. As defined by
Azikiwe [17], good study habits are assets to students since these habits help them gain mastery that results in
good academic performance. On the other hand, Devine [18] stressed that the one study tactic or skill that suits
all students in every school task has not been found yet. Among the many useful skills or strategies, the ones
that an individual user will rely on the person and the learning condition. Hay [19], stressed that if students
spend more time online browsing social networking sites, the less these social platforms may be good for their
social lives and social networking may make them become more uneducated. The short types of statuses don‘t
aid in developing the writing area of the students‘ brain that results in averages that are lower and studying
periods that are lesser. On the positive note, the online environments can serve as an aid for school activities.
Vaughn [20], said that the Internet has great effects on the student users the type of Internet usage determines
the impact. The informative use of the Internet affected the students positively or negatively while the use of the
Internet for entertainment has a drastic impact on them. As asserted by Flad [21], the Internet is beneficial to
both the learners and the faculty members if utilized as an instrument of knowledge formation and distribution.
Hence, this study wanted to describe this phenomenon on the use of social media and its impact to the
study habits of students in order to generate new knowledge especially to private institution students where most
of the students have high-tech gadgets and can afford to buy the latest technology available in stores. They also
have all the time and resources to keep themselves updated with the latest trend using the internet.
II. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main purpose of this study is to describe the social media use and the level of the study habits of
Grade 10 students in the University of San Carlos Basic Education South Campus (USC BED SC) of the school
year 2017 – 2018. Specifically, this study aims to answer the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the usage of social media among Grade 10 students in USC BED SC in terms of:
1.1. time spent on leisure activities in a typical day and on a weekend
1.2. venue in accessing the internet at home
1.3. venue in accessing the internet outside of the house
1.4. the frequency of using a mobile phone to visit social sites
1.5. perceived parental support
2. What is the level of the study habits of the Grade 10 students in USC BED SC?
3. What recommendations can be done in order to maximize the use of social media to improve the study habits
of students?

Establishing the level of the social media addiction and the level of study habits of the students will
help teachers in integrating social networking in planning the lessons and on how to effectively use them in the
classroom. This will also guide the teachers as to what social media sites students prefer to use in their
individual research. Also, the findings of this study will look at the values and attitudes of the students and what
they consider important.
III. METHODOLOGY
Method.
This research utilized the descriptive method employing the quantitative non-experimental research
design. This is a non-experimental and descriptive type of research since no variables were manipulated in the
study and there was no group that received treatment and no group was controlled and experimented. The goal
of a descriptive research is to determine associations among variables rather than supporting interpretations of
causation. [22] This research design also aims to learn new information about a condition, people, activities or
events, or the frequency in which certain proceedings happen. Studies that are descriptive in nature often seek to
answer ―what is‖, so observational and survey methods are frequently used to gather descriptive data. [23] In
this study, the method used in gathering the data was through a survey questionnaire since its main purpose was
to describe the profile of social media usage and the study habit of the millennial.
Respondents.
Fifty Junior high school students were chosen as respondents in the study. They were randomly
selected from each section in the Grade 10 level of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education Department,
Junior High School of the South Campus. Table 1 presents the population of the study.
Sampling.
The target population was all the students from the University of San Carlos, Basic Education
Department (USC-BED). The sampling frame was taken from the list of all the students in the BED – South
Campus. The sampling unit was the Junior High School students in BED specifically in the South Campus. The
observation unit was the Grade 10 students in BED-JHS South Campus. Probability type of sampling
specifically stratified sampling was used in this study since each section was divided according to strata. Simple
random sampling (SRS) was then used to give everybody an equal chance of being selected.
Environment.
The study is conducted in the University of San Carlos – Basic Education Department -Junior High
School in the South Campus. The school is the only level 3 PAASCU (Philippine Accrediting Association of
Schools, Colleges and Universities) accredited university in Cebu City. This is managed by the Society of the
Divine Word (SVD) priests and it has 5 campuses – North Campus, Montessori Campus, South Campus,
Talamban Campus, and Downtown Campus. The school is the K-12 pilot school and offers strands such as
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM),
Arts and Design (A&D), and Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS).
Instrument.
This study used an adapted survey questionnaire on study skills and habits as well as a survey on the
time spent by students in their leisure time. The study skills and habits questionnaire used is a standardized
inventory from Queensland University‘s Learning Strategies Development, and the components include health
habits, time management, attitude, concentration, academic stress, goal setting, preparation, and follow-up.

Validity and Reliability.
Since the instrument used in this study was an adapted one, then it went through validity tests such as
consulting content experts with regards to its constructs and contents. An expert was consulted in terms of its
content if it is fitted to the present respondents considering the threats to internal and external validity such as
time and setting. With regards to its internal consistency, Cronbach's Alpha test of reliability was used.
Table 2 presents the results of the reliability test.
According to George and Mallery [24], a Cronbach‘s Alpha internal consistency value of α ≥ 0.9 is
excellent; 0.9 > α ≥ 0.8 is good; 0.8 > α ≥ 0.7 is acceptable; 0.7 > α ≥ 0.6 is Questionable; 0.6 > α ≥ 0.5 is
Poor and 0.5 > α is Unacceptable. Hence, based on this scale, the research instrument used in this study is a
GOOD one (α ≥ 0.8) since its Cronbach‘s Alpha based on standardized items is .899 using 57 items.
Data Gathering Procedures
Ethics. A transmittal letter was secured first from the Principals' office before conducting the survey to
the 50 respondents. Since the respondents were still 15-16 years old, then they were included in the vulnerable
population. Hence, an informed consent was read to them, informing them of the objectives and procedures of
the study. Benefits, potential risks, and issues on confidentiality were read and explained to them so that they
could choose to withdraw from the said survey. Respect and dignity of the respondents were still the main
concerns of the researcher; hence the respondents were given the freedom to participate or not in the said study.
Data Collection. After considering all the ethical procedures in conducting this study, survey
questionnaires were distributed to the sample respondents in each section. The data collection was not
simultaneous and was given by the main researcher during her subject encounter time. The time allotted for the
survey is 1 hour and questionnaires were retrieved after. All collected data were then tallied and tabulated using
Microsoft Excel. A statistical program was also used in the analysis of the data gathered especially on reliability
test. Analysis and interpretation followed based on the findings of the study.
Data Analysis. Since the study is descriptive in nature, then simple statistical treatment was used in the
study. To determine the demographic profile of social media use among Grade 10 students in terms of (a) time
spent for leisure activities in a typical day and on a weekend; (b)venue in accessing the internet at home; (c)
venue in accessing the internet outside of the house; (d) frequency of using mobile phone to visit social sites;
and (e)parental support, simple frequency was used using the formula
f
x 100
n
rf ; where rf = relative
frequency, f = frequency, and n = the total number of cases or respondents. To determine the level of study
habits and skills among Grade 10 students of USC – BED SC Junior high school, South Campus, simple mean
and standard deviation are applied.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
This section presents the results and discussion of the study based on the data gathered. Table 3
presented the USC BED SC Grade 10 students' profile of social media use in terms of (a)time spent for leisure
activities in a typical day and on a weekend; (b)venue in accessing the internet at home; (c)venue in accessing
the internet outside of the house; (d) frequency of using mobile phone to visit social sites; (e)parental support
It can be gleaned from the table that the result for the time the students spent on leisure activities vary
in terms of a number of hours and the time they spent on a typical day or on a weekend. It can be seen that most
of the students did not spend any more time watching televisions, playing electronic games on computers or
desktop and in reading especially those which are not school related. In addition, it was very clear that they
spent most of their time connecting with their friends and in entertaining themselves by playing games on their
mobile phones instead of a desktop computer. As a result, students spent less time with their families and in
there was less involved in sports-related or physical activities.

Table 3: Time spent for leisure activities
Table 4 showed the time spent by students for leisure activities for 4 hours or more. It can be seen that
there was enough evidence that students maximize the use of their gadgets through visiting and spending their
time in social networking sites with about 28% on a typical day and 46% on a weekend. The most common
activities for more than 4 hours were chatting with friends and loved ones, face booking and messaging.
Watching television came out the least with 12% in a weekend and none at all on a typical day due to the fact
that most of them spend their time on their mobile phones. It can be seen too that only 10% of the total
population of the students spent their time doing on a project or homework. One reason might be was that most
of the home works or projects given by the teachers don't require technology, that's why it came out the least out
of the many activities given. Most of the students spend 4 hours or more on the social media.

As presented in table 5, the grade 10 students commonly use their bedroom (46%) as their venue in
using the social media. They could access easily the internet and felt some privacy if they would do it in their
own room. Dining/lounge/family room (22%) came out second in rank, and it was followed by anywhere at
home as long as they have their laptops with them and they could access internet connection. Parents' bedroom,
study office and other venues such as internet café (10%) came out the fifth in rank. The least in rank which was
rarely used by the respondents were hallways (6%) and brother/sister's room (2%). This may be the result if
students value their privacy and they wanted to be comfortable as they use the social media.

In terms of accessing the internet outside of their houses, most of the students utilize the internet café
(54%) as their main venue while they were also comfortable in places such as friends‘ house (42%), relatives‘
house (34%) and shopping centers (18%). The schools‘ library (8%) and youth centers (4%) came out to be the
rarest venue for them to chat and engage in social media sites especially in community libraries which were
rated only 2% out of the total population. This only means that they value high internet connectivity and privacy
since they wanted to communicate in a right venue only which is the internet café.
With regards to the frequency of using mobile phones in visiting the social media sites, several times in a day
(76%) came out to be the first in rank which is related to the previous result as seen in table 3 and 4 that most of
their leisure time was spent using their mobile phones, engaging in text messaging, chatting and face booking
for more than 4 hours of their precious time. It can be seen further, that nobody is exempted from spending their
time in using their mobile phones even once a week or less than a week. It was very clear that there was enough
evidence that most of these Grade 10 students cannot end their days without using their mobile phones. They
really give and allow a specific time in engaging in social networking sites whether it became a habit, a part of
their everyday routine, from peer pressure or for fun during boring moments.
In the case of parental support in the use of social media as perceived by the students, most of the
students perceived that their parents have trusted them because 32-34% of them believe that their parents know
what they‘re doing. While, the rest, 14% did not know what they‘re doing and some parents (12%) would just
stay nearby or asked what they did on the internet. For privacy‘s sake, only 6% of the students would tell that
their parents would check on the screen when they‘re online. All of them did not expect that parents would
know that they were online.
These findings would only mean that parents would give enough chance for the students to be
independent and wanted to let their children do it on their own. Less parental supervision might bring a lot of
advantages and disadvantages on the part of the students and parents but based on the outcome of this study,
most of the parents provide less supervision due to the fact that their children know what they are doing and
others might be busy with other things that they spend less of their time to their children.
In terms of the level of study habits and skills of the Grade 10 Junior high school students, it came out
that attitude ( x = 3.75, SD = 0.73) was the highest among all the habits and skills mentioned in the survey. This
means that most of the students find time to study the subjects that they don‘t really like; they like to learn and
not just the thought of a good job and they attended a class. Comprehension ( x = 3.50, SD = 0.11) and the use
of resources ( x = 3.52, SD = 0.29) were also rated high. This means that students tried to personally relate the
information to what they had learned; they could connect ideas from one lecture to another; they review
questions or practice problems; they could translate what they‘ve studied on their own words and they could
relate course content to the learning objectives. In terms of the use of resources, it was found out that students
were willing to ask for help when they need it; they used ―people-resources‖ available, when needed; they used
text, internet, or library resources, when needed; they felt confident about their note-taking methods and they
attended review sessions when offered.

However, based on the results of the data collected, the level of most of the students‘ study habits and
skills were on the average. This means that they fairly managed their time ( x = 2.93, SD = 0.22) through
sticking to a study schedule, they managed academic stress ( x = 3.38, SD = 0.23) and they were in control of
the situations; they set goals by setting high standards for themselves in school ( x = 3.40, SD = 0.16) and
managed it on the normal level; they were able to concentrate well when studying and manage to focus attention
on lessons and on mobile phones. The level for preparation and follow-up ( x = 3.30, SD = 0.11) was on the
average too. This means that they really prepare themselves before attending a class. They tried downloading
and reading notes or read texts before class. They also stop reading periodically to check their understanding.
In addition, the students‘ habit of selecting main points in the lectures, summarizing texts effectively,
identifying relevant ideas when solving a problem and taking notes containing main ideas and details were rated
high ( x = 3.43, SD = 0.25) while the habits on exam preparation were rated average ( x = 3.30, SD = 0.11) and
writing ( x = 3.39, SD = 0.39). This means that students had separated their initial "learning" from their
"studying". They felt confident about their study methods; they know what to study for an exam; they answered
exercises while they study and they engaged in group studies or discussed lessons with a friend. In writing, they
managed to finish their exams in the given allotted time. They had practiced mapping out an essay answer
before writing and they took enough time to understand what the problem asked before answering. The habit
and skill that they studied enough for the exam were perceived to be in the average level.
In totality, the level of students‘ study habits and skills was average ( x = 3.32, SD = 0.33). This
means that the students were on the average performance level in school. They managed their time properly,
especially in academics. They had used well their resources especially their mobile phones and thus contributed
to a high comprehension level. In general, the respondents of the study developed a good attitude that
contributes to their academic success.
V. CONCLUSION
Based on the findings of the study, a conclusion can be drawn that the use of social media and frequent
visits to social networking sites using mobile phones even at several times in a day or in a weekend didn‘t give a
negative influence to the study habits and skills of the grade 10 junior high school students of the University of
San Carlos. Maximizing the use of students‘ resources such as their gadgets can create a positive impact to their
academic performance and would eventually develop a positive attitude and learning environment in the
classroom provided that the instruction would be properly managed and guided by the teacher.
Hence, it is hereby recommended that another study should be conducted to correlate the relationship
of study habits and skills of the students to the coverage of social media usage. It is important to see the
significant relationship between these two variables so that there will be enough evidence on the degree and
strength of the relationship between the use of social media and study habits.
Furthermore, based on the result of the study, it is also recommended that teachers would look for ways
on how to maximize the use of resources especially that nowadays, the millennials (as they are now called – the
digital natives) have short attention span and they seem to be motivated only if they feel that they were really
part of the class. So, in order to engage them in classroom instruction, there is a need to utilize whatever gadgets
they have like tablets, mobile phones, and others for them to feel ownership of their own learning. This is also
done in order for them to see the importance of their gadgets. They should realize that buying those expensive
mobile phones is a wise decision because it contributed largely to their academic success. Hence, teachers
should carefully design their lessons, assess through giving appropriate feedbacks and facilitate active learning.
Combining content, pedagogy, and technology may contribute to effective and efficient classroom instruction
thus improve the quality of education.
