DEDICATIONThis is dedicated to Sir. Jeff Feliciano, whose passion for teaching a set a new standard

for anyone involved in education, and development or any endeavor in which student being

seeks to support the growth development of another. While I realize that writing Thesis is like a

mad dash to finish of along marathon: it adds luster to your well-deserved degree. In theory, at

least. Because in practice, it turns out that a thesis is often a stumbling block to students.

Sometimes, students don’t have the slightest clue as to what is expected from them, and it is

becoming increasingly common for them to call in the (paid) help of a thesis. It’s an unusual

thing to include, I think it needs to be shared to the student so that they will be learn more about

doing thesis because you can use to express the purpose or main point of your essay.

Additionally, the thesis may include the significance of or your opinion on this topic. It is your

commitment to the reader about the content, purpose, and organization of your paper.

CHAPTER 1

Introduction (Background of the study)

Students can get distracted and start using social media for their purposes

and not pay attention to the education content. Distraction is gong happen to a certain extent

and there is not a lot the faculty member can do to prevent it. Relying too much in social media

for communication can stiff a student ability to interact in person. This is a problem throughout

society and not just limited to education. Many of youths today have grown up with technology

and many times it is easier for them just to communicate online and not in person.

Having the student to through a social media technology such as “Google

Hangouts” can sometimes break the ice and allow them to communicate better in person. This

one of the main reasons that social media in education should be supplement to educational

activities and not only a methods of instructional delivery.

Baguio Central University was one of the school here in Baguio City. This school

use the social media to post someone information about the school to promote for the students

who wanted or who are interested to study here. They also use Social Media to post offered

courses. The school makes an account in site which Facebook. They named it as BCU

files(account) which they can give some information about an event that will be hold in school

for the students.

lives .Robert Snow explains that power is unequally divided and some group dominate

other social order is based on manipulation and central by dominant groups. Enhances

understanding to conflict between person ideas, groups classes and larger social

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Effects of social media to the student of BCU problem significance is that we

will know what are maybe the advantages and disadvantages to learning students.

Social media can be a powerful enhancement to the way students learn. It does take

some planning and thought process before implementation.

Some studies find positive relationship between social media and students

academic performance. It is also found by the research that it depends upon students

personality. But there are negative effects of the use social media like the effects of

Facebook on academic performance of those students who have extrovert (friendly)

personalities on their academic performance.

The above studies shot that research on the role of social media and social

networking sites in academic performance of students is still unclear about the results.

Most of the researchers that finding answers despite opposing opinions majority of

research has found social media as useful forwards educational infrastructure and

students social grooming. However, careful investigation is still demanded in this area.

Further research must be carried out to establish well defined ways in which benefits of

social media in students performance and hence education can be maximized
