Abstract:

The widespread embracing of social media flatforms inspires researchers to examine the extent of influence on the academic performance in science class by senior high school students of a private secondary school using purposive sampling to collect empirical data through a survey questionnaire with a Likert scale. Using IBM SPSS statistical package and Micro Soft Excel software, the mean percentage scores and Pearson r indicate that YouTube moderately inspired them and least from Facebook and TikTok for their grades. Besides, Facebook and YouTube moderately influenced their attendance in class, while TikTok had very little. Correlation analysis implies that, albeit not significantly, social media does have an impact on students' attendance; nonetheless, it does not affect their marks.
