Social Media Usage as a Predictor of Senior High School Students' Learning Participation
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2025, Vol 35, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the level of social media usage among senior high school students in terms of academic, socialization, and informativeness. It also examined their learning participation in terms of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional participation, and investigated if there is a significant relationship between social media usage and learning participation. The researcher employed a quantitative research approach, specifically descriptive research with a correlational technique. Simple random sampling was used to select seventy-nine (79) senior high school students from Malalag Cogon National High School for the school year 2024-2025. The study utilized mean and Spearman’s Rho as statistical tools. A pilot test was conducted to assess the reliability and consistency of the questionnaires, with Cronbach’s Alpha results indicating good reliability. The findings revealed that the level of social media usage among senior high school students is high, and their learning participation is also high. Furthermore, social media usage in terms of academic, socialization, and informativeness showed a high positive correlation with students’ learning participation in terms of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement. The study also revealed fundamental platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube having academic functions for research and information gathering as well as non-academic functions for socializing and entertainment. From these findings, the researcher has suggested that senior high school students should regulate their time on social media, focus on the useful content, and navigate the other sides of social media effectively to have an improved academic experience.
