Part Five, Delimitation of the Study, discusses the sort of

the research and selects specifications within which the

investigation was carried out.

Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study

Most people, have this manner of using Social media

platforms. There are different reasons why they are using it.

These reasons maybe out of curiosity, temptation, and most

specially peer pressure.

According to an article in www.studymode.com, “Nowadays,

social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and

others are attracting millions of people around the world,

especially the students. Social networking sites had been the

source of happiness for many students”. SNS have become a

trending topic nowadays and viral among teenagers. Especially to

the teenagers, many of them are associated to SNS, since

teenagers must always be in with what is popular nowadays. Even

education has been influenced by SNS with Elizabeth Power(2012),

stating “The potential for using SNS to further the goal of

education is immerse, and teachers are making faraway into the

world of online social networking for educational purposes.

” Since there are lots of SNS, what could be the most visited?

Chapter II

Review of Related Literature

In this chapter, the review of literature and studies

performed in the Philippines and abroad are presented. The

information was gathered from different sources such as books,

unpublished works and researchers on the internet.

This chapter consists of two (2) parts:

Social Networking Sites (1), Students’ Productivity (2)

Part One, Social Media, tackles the definition and quotation

from different social media users.

Part two, Students’ Productivity, tackles the definition of

students’ productivity and review of related study about the

effects of social media to the productivity of students.

Social Networking Sites

“We define social network sites as web-based services that

allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public

profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other

users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and

traverse their list of connections and those made by others

within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these

connections may vary from site to site. While we use the term

‘social network site’ to describe this phenomenon, the term

‘social networking sites’ also appears in public discourse, and

the two terms are often used interchangeably. While networking is

possible on these sites, it is not the primary practice on many

of them, nor is it what differentiates them from other forms of

computer-mediated communication (CMC).” Danah M. Boyd said.

“A Web site that provides a venue for people to share their

activities with family, friends and colleagues or to share their

interest in a particular topic. Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn and

Twitter are the leading social sites.

Members create an online profile with biographical data,

photos and any other information they choose to post. They

communicate with each other by making their latest thoughts

public in a blog-like format or via e-mail, instant messaging,

voice or videoconferencing to selected members.

Students’ Productivity

The use of social media in academic coursework can increase

the learning achieved by an individual student. Students who

participate in coursework that utilize social media demonstrate

an increase in overall GPA when compared with students who do not

participate in social media (Junco, 2012b; Junco et al., 2011).

Social media usage within the academic setting not only increases

students’ GPA, but also facilitates peer feedback on assignments

and thoughtful student reflections on course content because of

the ability for students to openly communicate with each other

and develop strong relationships among peers (Arnold & Paulus,

2010; Ebner, Leinhardt, Rohs, & Meyer, 2010; Kuh, 1993).

Furthermore, using social media fosters long-term retention of

information and develops a deeper understanding of content that

is discussed in a class (Chen & Bryer, 2012; Heafner & Friedman,

2008).

Nayzabekov (2012), in his study entitled, "Negative Impacts

of Social Networking Sites on the Academic Excellence of the

Students", identifies the idea of multitasking, which students

could perform different types of actions while visiting SNS to

include texting, instant messaging, playing games and searching

information online. The author pointed out that multitasking

skills or actions could affect the concentration of students.

- 14 -

Academy of Saint John La Salle Green Hills Supervised

Sta. Clara, Gen. Trias, Cavite

Performing different types of action could affect one’s

performance not only in academic but also in the everyday task of

students. For example, a student who has a lot of assignments and

works on different subjects instead of doing it on time and

early, visits SNS Facebook which seemed to be popular among

teenagers nowadays. It also identifies the procrastination

related problems that might evolve as a possible outcome of SNS

usage of the students. In this paper, he cited the idea of Ellis

and Knaus, which defines the term as “a failure to initiate or

complete a task or activity by predetermined time.” In other

words, it can be described as a specific behavioral pattern that

is dedicated for doing any non-academic tasks. According to the

study, they did not do their academic requirements involved in

the learning process with the help of social networking sites and

it could possibly involve in the negative attitude towards their

work.

Sta. Clara, Gen. Trias, Cavite

Purpose of the Study and Research Design

The study aims to demystify further the different effects of

eating chocolates that contain a brain chemical called Phenyl

Ethylamine (PEA) which makes us attentive and alert towards the

performance rate in Mathematics of the students in the present

time. It aims to widen the knowledge of the public, most

especially the students on how they can improve their efficiency

in Mathematics using different factors such as foods,

specifically the chocolates. This study seeks to answer purposely

the following questions:

1. Is there an important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they eat chocolates during class

hour(s)?

2. Is there an important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they are given an allotted time

to eat chocolates during class hour(s)?

3. Is there an important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they are allowed to eat

chocolates during the whole class hour(s)?

- 14 -

Academy of Saint John La Salle Green Hills Supervised

Sta. Clara, Gen. Trias, Cavite

4. Do chocolates affect the mood or attitude of students

towards their performance rate in Mathematics?

Based on the foretasted problems, the following hypotheses are

formulated:

1. There is no important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they eat chocolates during class

hour(s).

2. There is no important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they are given an allotted time

to eat chocolates during class hour(s).

3. There is no important difference in the performance rate of

students in Mathematics if they are allowed to eat

chocolates during the whole class hour(s).

4. Chocolates do not affect the mood or attitude of students

towards their performance rate in Mathematics.

The independent variable of this study is the chocolate

intake during class period. The dependent variable is the

Performance Rate of Students in Mathematics

- 14 -

Academy of Saint John La Salle Green Hills Supervised

Sta. Clara, Gen. Trias, Cavite

In an experimental type of research, the changes in nature

as they happen should be observed and recorded. These changes

cannot be manipulated.

Method

Respondents

The respondents of this research study were all students

from the third year level of the Academy of Saint John for the

school year 2012-2013. III- St. Lorenzo served as the controlled

group; III- St. Bernard as experimental group.

Materials and Instrumentations

A questionnaire is a written device which is made of subject

queries that needs feedback from the set of respondents in order

gather data and information for the sake of the study being

conducted.

A questionnaire used in this study was managed by the

researchers to gather data for the independent and dependent

variables of this research.

- 14 -

Academy of Saint John La Salle Green Hills Supervised

Sta. Clara, Gen. Trias, Cavite

The questionnaire used in this research has two parts. The

first part contains the personal information of the respondents

with regards to the name, sex, age, year and section and

questions about the antecedent variables of this study which are

associated to the respondents’ time allotted of eating and their

own choice of the kind of chocolate. The second part is about

their insights and feelings when the food was consumed during

their class.

Procedure

The questionnaire used for this study was submitted to the

subject instructor first for content validation before its

administration to the experimental and controlled group of third

year students. After the checking and validity confirmation and

so with the corrections, the questionnaires were reproduced

according to the sample size.

The researchers were the ones who distributed the

questionnaires during the Math period of the respondents. The

respondents submitted the questionnaire after their Mathematics

class or dismissal. It was for giving them enough time in

answering the questionnaire after conducting the experimentation

which is the chocolate intake during class hours. The researchers

gathered the questionnaires for the analysis, tabulation and

interpretation.

The result of these processes was published in the following

chapters.

Statistical Data Analysis Procedure

The following instrumentations shall prove to be useful in

getting necessary information for the benefit of this project.

Summary of the Problem, Method and Findings

This study aims to obtain and present an explanation to the

effects chocolate intake during Mathematics performances of the

individuals especially the students.

This research seeks to answer the following questions:

1. Is there an important difference in the performance

rate of students in Mathematics if they eat chocolates

during class hour(s)?

2. Is there an important difference in the performance

rate of students in Mathematics if they are given an

allotted time to eat chocolates during class hour(s)?

3. Is there an important difference in the performance

rate of students in Mathematics if they are allowed to

eat chocolates during the whole class hour(s)?

4. Do chocolates affect the mood or attitude of students

towards their performance rate in Mathematics?

Conclusions

From the results of the study, the following conclusions

were made:

1. When taken as a whole, chocolate intake while classes are

ongoing takes effect on students positively.

2. When taken individually as in the variables presented above

such as the reason, time allotment in consuming chocolate

would put great effect on a student. He may get distracted

in class or he may distract his classmates, depending on

one’s character.

3. The effects of chocolate on students are generally good.

However, the positive mood of an individual may affect the

discipline of the class.

Implications

The outcome of this research study can be used by the

benefactors mentioned above as reference and knowledge source in

future study and confirmation. This will help broaden their

comprehension and learning in this field of study.

Recommendations

The following recommendations were made based on the

conclusions drawn from the findings of this study:

1. The effects of eating chocolate during class should be

taken with responsibility and must be given enough

attention to maintain the discipline of a student as

well as the class.

2. Self-restraint must be taken into consideration to avoid

overconsumption of chocolate. Moderation is a must.

3. Eating inside the classroom is still prohibited;

therefore, if a student finds chocolate intake very

effectively in his Mathematical performance, he must eat

it before classes begin.
