INTRODUCTION

This study aims to know how using internet as the basic way of learning affect

students regarding to their academic performances. We all know that most of the students

now at the 21st century is dependent in using internet in seeking information and answers

for them to provide their needs in their academic performances, so that we want to

investigate and to know if internet is giving positive or negative effects of how the

students perform academically. We are also conducting this research enable us to know

how important does the internet for the students of Tinago National High School on day

to day studying in school. Since most of us have our own gadgets that are connected to

the internet, we can easily use it as a medium for our studies. It is also perceived that the

development of internet technology has change the pattern of community interaction,

both business interaction, the interaction of economic, social interaction, and government,

communication, publication, as well as means to obtain the information needed by

everyone, especially among student who are essentially still in the process of self, is still

full of flavor curious, and unstable. With this fact it is possible to abuse the use of the

internet.

Background of the Study

Most of us says that using internet while studying is a big destruction for all the

students. Many students use internet for their personal purposes that will lead to abusing

internet and use it for bad things. We all know that using internet has a big impact to the

students, it has a negative and positive impacts. For the positive effect, internet made the

2
students to lessen their efforts regarding to their academic activities. It also helps students

to save their time while studying. The new web technology has made it easy for students

all over the world to get the skills they need to progress in society and enhance their

lifestyle. Students get savvy with computers and internet as much younger age. Such is

the impact of internet on education. It motivates the students to acquire better thinking

skills, remain well inform and grow as responsible citizens for their country.

Internet is a collection of millions of computers around the world that are

connected between each other, the Internet is a medium that does not have the limitation

of information on each user, many people are highly dependent on the Internet, because

the Internet has many advantages that can simplify a lot of work, the internet is helpful

for effectiveness and efficiency. The shape of the effectiveness and efficiency of a given

Internet such as Internet has many services for its users so much to give ease and pamper

users. With the presence of the internet which is the development of information and

communication technologies. Online activity on social media such as Facebook in

Indonesia has reached 42.5 million, the fourth highest in the world, about 18% of the

population of Indonesia has had the most popular social media accounts in this world.

The number of Twitter users in Indonesia amounted to 5.7 million, the third largest in the

world. The number of mobile phone users in Indonesia has reached 266 million numbers,

exceeding the population of Indonesia itself Indonesian population as a whole reached

245 million people, including one of the countries with the largest population in the

world. The number of Internet users reached 55 million people. Number of Internet users

in Indonesia dominate Asia amounted to 22.4%, after Japan Technological developments

are increasingly modern and sophisticated this is not the only benefit users but also have

3
an impact that is not good for users, especially among students. Is perceived very well

that the development of Internet technology has changed the pattern of community

interaction, both business interaction, the interaction of economic, social interaction, and

cultural interaction. Internet has contributed so much to society, company, industry,

education and government, communication, publications, as well as a means to obtain the

information needed by everyone, especially among students who are essentially still in

the process of self, is still full of flavor curious, and unstable. With this fact it is possible

to abuse the use of the internet.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE (RRL)

According to Oghenetega and Igere (2014), over the years, the internet has been a

very important instrument for facilitating academic activities in tertiary institutions in

Nigeria. The information and communication technology revolution are sweeping

through the world and the gale has even caught up with developing countries like

Nigeria. Internet can broadly be defined as worldwide network of computers

communicating via an agreed upon protocol (rules for exchange of information). It

provides access to the most diversified source of information hosted by individuals and

various organisation worlds wide on a vast network of servers (Ogungbeni, et al, 2016).

Various studies have found that Internet use can have positive benefits on educational

achievement (Chen & Fu, 2009). One puzzling question is the effective impact of the

internet on student performance.

According to Rosenberg (2005), In 2004 International Network on the

Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) commissioned a survey of the current

status of digital libraries in sub-Saharan Anglophone Africa, so as to draw conclusions on

where future developments and investments might be made, and what can be learnt from

the implementation of digital libraries within the continent. The study covers all aspects

of digital librarianship including library automation, ICT facilities, electronic and digital

resources, local content, electronic resources, finances, management and training, user

7
education and future plans. The study revealed that the number of libraries that can make

effective use of the e-resources that are now generally available to them is small. As only

15% of libraries provide more than one computer for every 100 students and in over half

of the libraries, less than 75% of the computers are Internet connected. Only 45% of the

libraries consider their Internet connectivity to be adequate or above in speed and

reliability. And only 31% of libraries are connected to university-wide networks.

The internet is a global linking of devices that allow information transfer. The

internet was established in the early 1960’s by the U.S department of defence (Schneider,

Evans and Pinard, 2006) for military purposes. It is a fact that the internet is one of the

greatest advancements in the world of information technology as it has become a useful

instrument that has fostered the process of making the world a global village. The

Internet provides an environment in which millions of people participate and engage in

the creation and exchange of information (Rose & Fernlund, 1997). It allows for the

exchange of information and for interaction among individuals in real time, making

transport and distance no longer a problem.

There are approximately 2.4 billion people on earth who has access to the internet

with over 70 percent of them using the internet at least once a day. This amounts to a

total of 144 billion emails being sent every 24 hours (internet world statistics, 2012).

What started out as a hobby for some computer literate people has become a social norm

and way of life for people around the globe (Boyd, 2007). The Caribbean consist of

approximately 42 million people, 32.4% of which, use the internet (internet coaching

library, 2012). Internet use has become very popular in many areas as well as in

education in recent years. Accordingly, Internet access in schools has increased greatly

8
over the last 20 years (Berson, 2000). In a research article, Ying-Fang Chen and Samuel

S. Peng (2005-2006 academic year juniors).

A study done on a variety of randomly selected University students in Taiwan

showed that heavy Internet users and non-heavy Internet users differed significantly on a

number of dimensions. Non-heavy users had better relationships with administrative

staff, academic grades and learning satisfaction than heavy Internet users. Tuckman

(1975) defined academic performance as the apparent demonstration of understanding

concepts, skills, ideas and knowledge and proposed that grades clearly depict the

performance of students. Heavy users were more likely than non-heavy Internet users to

be depressed, physically ill, lonely, and introverted.

According to a journal of Education and Sociology done in Pakistan, Muhammad

Musaud Asdaque, December, 2010. The use of the internet is one of the major factors

affecting the academic performance and social life of university students. The number of

hours spent on internet will affect the grades of students depending on if the internet is

used for study purpose or social purposes. Many studies have been conducted regarding

the type of information the end-users seek and obtain on the Internet and in which

circumstances they prefer electronic sources to paper sources (Tenopir et al.2003). Also,

students can gain from others’ knowledge and experiences, participate in chatrooms,

share ideas and solutions.

Teens spend approximately 2.3 hours online a day, 80 percent of that time, on

social networking sites (Roiworld, 2010). Students who multi-task between social

networking sites and homework are likely to have 20% lower grades than a student who

9
does not have a social networking site in visual range (Lenhart, A, 2009, April). Also,

many researchers believe that excessive use of the internet has the potential to become an

addiction (Griffiths, 1995, 2000). Some, involvement on the Internet begins to have

serious, negative consequences. When such consequences are minimized or ignored

while Internet use increases, Internet dependence is occurring. As of 2005, it is estimated

that 6% of users are Internet dependent (Villanova Counseling Center). The internet can

act as a major distraction to students if not properly managed. However, some studies

show that students’ primary use the internet for school work specifically, searching the

web for information needed for school projects (Kraut et al, 1996). This in turn, can

improve the academic performance of a student.

Effect of Internet on Student's Academic Performance and Social Life

The use of the internet has a huge impact on student achievement. This study was

conducted to determine the effect of internet use on academic achievement, social life,

and student activities in Bandung. This research will be very helpful for students,

researchers, and curriculum developers to know the relationship of internet usage and

academic achievement. This research was made by collecting the respondents from 2

Universities in Bandung, University Computer Indonesia and Institute Harapan Bangsa

Technology. Respondents were randomly selected by 50 respondents. The results of this

study can prove that the students' social life is influenced by the internet. Graphical

representation of internet usage and its impact on students' social life shows that the use

of the internet is very high, will minimize student social activity. This study shows that

the use of the Internet for study purposes and academic achievement is directly

proportional to each other while inversely proportional to student social life.

10
How the Internet Affects Students Performance and Behavior

Today, almost everyone is connected to the internet. Even children can be found

engrossed in their own tablets and students nowadays have their own cellphones. So it’s

no wonder why the Internet have immensely woven itself in the lives of people, relying

on the ‘net for many things such as socialization, study, entertainment, and current

events.

For students, spending a lot of time on the Internet can do more harm than good.

The internet really affects students both negatively and positively. While the internet can

be a reliable resource to help them with homework and school project, things can easily

turn downhill when time on the internet overtakes time for study and school.

How the Internet Affects Students — Performance and Behavior

Face to face social skills are not exercised. At this stage of students’ life, they are

learning about the world around them. While the Internet is supposed to bring people

together, the fact that people only talk online instead of making an effort to meet each

other is sending wrong messages to students and children.

Decreasing creativity. Because everything can be found on the internet, students

don’t have to make more efforts or look for more ways to know the answer to homework,

or even to their own questions. With the internet, they don’t need to pay any more

attention, or think, or make more effort, because everything they need to know is just

within a click of a button.

11
 Time is spent on the internet instead of studying. There’s what is called

nonessential internet use, when people tend to aimlessly surf the internet for information

that they can’t even retain or remember after hours in a session. That’s what students do

as well. The time in front of the computer is like being sucked in a black hole and this

time would’ve been better spent doing more worthwhile and productive things that help

hone students’ minds and skills.

Less family times. Excessive internet usage also steals away time for family. For

example, instead of enjoying dinner time together, children are engrossed in their devices

even while on the dining table.

Staying up late. Some students stay up late at night just poring over random things

on the internet. This is very harmful to the growing minds of students. Also, when they

wake up the next day, they have low energy and tend to not pay attention or even fall

asleep in class.

Sedentary lifestyle. Students, especially young children, need to be active. This is

another way for them to develop their minds and bodies. However, being on the internet

most of the time keeps them inactive, just seated on their chairs or even lying down when

they should have been outdoors playing with friends.

Tendency for internet addiction. Those who spend more time on line have an

increased risk for developing internet addiction, which can derail the focus and the life of

students. The internet affects students by feeding them with mindless data that can suck

them in, making them vulnerable to getting addicted.

12
 Cheating. Homework and other school projects can be copied right off the

internet, making cheating very easy to do with just a few clicks. Academic fraud and

plagiarism is common in school when students can look for ready-made answers on the

internet. This kind of behavior breeds a culture of cheating and easy ways out of any

problem.

Moral corruption. Everything can be found on the internet–and this also is true for

inappropriate things. Students who are always on the internet are exposing themselves to

material that can corrupt them. These things can result to bad mental and behavioral

development in these students. In this case, the internet affects students by feeding them

unfiltered information that are harmful for them.

All these said, it’s up to both parents and teachers to ensure that students have

limited access to internet and materials on the web. It is also up to them to ensure that

students are using their time on the web responsibly.

Students Becoming Addicted to Social Media

Students report laying around staring off blankly with nothing to do and feeling so

lonely that they felt like they were in a small cage on a solitary island all because they

committed to not using any form of electronic media for 24 hours.

In a recent study conducted by the University of Maryland's International Center

for Media & the Public Affairs and the Salzburg Academy on Media & Global Change

1,000 international college students voluntarily attempted to not use any electronic media

including phones, email, Facebook and instant messenger. Findings from the survey were

published in an article by Aemon Lamone on KMPH.com. The article reports that

13
“basically if you're under the age of 25, anywhere in the world, you're likely addicted to

some form of media, whether it be Facebook, a smartphone, TV or instant messaging.

The article goes on to say that while media addiction is not clinically diagnosed at this

point, the behavior displayed and language students used suggests no small measure of

physical dependency.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The possible solutions that we can suggest for this topic are the following:

 The authorities like the teachers should give rules that strictly can control students

for not being tolerated in abusing the use of internet. That authorities like the

teachers must be a good model for the students to use internet responsibly so that

we can assure that the students will not be influenced to use internet in useless

things and our students will enjoy and be helped by this kind of new technology

in a good way.

30
 The teachers must allow only the students to use their cellphones and to access on

internet connection if their teacher said so. If we are just going to give the

students the right time to use their cellphones like having group activities or

reports, we can manipulate and decrease of rate for the students in getting

engaged or being distracted by some useless things found on the internet.

 Parents must be knowledgeable enough about in using internet so that they can

guide their children on how to use internet correctly and responsibly.

 Students must learn to use the internet correctly so that distractions will not going

to occur.
