ABSTRACT
The study aims to conduct a comprehensive study involving students from both Junior and
Senior High School levels on the awareness on social media policy. The research design chosen for
this study is quantitative, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The
questionnaire consists of questions specifically prepared for Junior and Senior High school students,
employing the Likert scale method to gauge the respondents' agreement levels. The target sample
size for this study is 218 students, selected through a random sampling procedure to ensure equal
chances of participation. Data collection involves administering the questionnaire to the participants
with permission from the school administration. The collected data will be analyzed using statistical
tools to derive numerical interpretations. The findings of the study reveal varying levels of awareness
among students regarding different aspects of the social media policy, highlighting areas of strong

We conduct this research to seek and tackle the student’s level of awareness in implementing
the social media policy in Saint Ferdinand College Cabagan to know the will behave and act online
that would make them use their accounts for the greater good responsibly.
A social media policy also called a social networking policy is a corporate code of conduct
that provides guidelines for students who post content on the internet either as part of their studies or
as a private person. According to Wendy Schuchart, the goal of a social media policy is to set
expectations for appropriate behaviour and ensure that students posts will not expose the school to
A student that uses social networking websites and apps is popular. They spend a significant
amount of time on these websites as part of their daily lives. According to studies, university students
use social networking sites more than students of other age groups (Azizi et al.,2019). The
importance of social networking sites in schooling cannot be emphasized. In fact, by interacting with
learning communities and other educational’’’ systems, students have several opportunities to
enhance their academic performance and have access to the most recent knowledge ( Greenhow and
Robelia,2009). Students can interact with various people and change information that way as well.

Social media are online forums for communication like social networking sites and micro-
blogging where users may establish online communities to share knowledge, opinions, private
message, and other content like videos, music, and articles. Social media today facilities
communication between individuals and others, including friends, family, classmates and distant
relatives.
This research would like to focus on the awareness and implementation of social media
policy at Saint Ferdinand College Cabagan Campus. Indeed, the school conducted on an orientation
regarding this matter. However, the learners are irresponsible users of their media accounts.
This study aims to determine the student’s level of awareness in the implementation of social

CHAPTER 2
A Social media is a term used to describe the means through which individuals communicate
with one another through the creation, sharing, and exchanging of content on various networks. The
idea that social media is a collection of internet-based programs that is founded on an ideological
framework and permits the production and distribution of user-generated content (Andreas &
Michael, 2010)
Social media is an online services or platform that focuses on making it easier for people with
similar interests, activities, and experiences to connect in real life. It's a website that enables users to
communicate information among a certain group. With it, users can easily share 15 pictures from the
travels and is a fantastic way to stay connected (Fewkes & McCabe, 2012). Students use the internet
for a number of activities, including some that have the potential to become addicted. (Griffiths and
Kuss, 2011) Concerns about how popular social media is on the internet may arise, especially in the
context of how much time students are spending online is rising rapidly.
The use of social media in the classroom has generated debate for a while now. Many parents
and teachers worry about the effects of using social media in the classroom (Kist 2012). Cell phones
now have been prohibited in classrooms, and several well-known social media websites have been
restricted by schools. However, despite the concerns of adults, students use social media. Rules are
evolving as a result of schools realizing the necessity to use these tools in the classroom. Students
can also manage their own privacy controls and frequently use the privacy policies they already have
5
formed as registered users. It allows them to ask quite insignificant questions they might also not feel
inspired to visit a teacher in person to ask during office hours. One possible route for more shy
students to express themselves in and outside of the classroom is Facebook. Before engaging to an
expression, it enables pupils to gather the ideas and write it down. Additionally, the informal
atmosphere typical of Facebook can let students express themselves and promote more regular
communication between students and instructors as well as amongst students themselves (Moran,
Implementing suitable social media regulations will ensure that these tools are used
effectively for beneficial purposes and will limit the negative effects of social media on the
educational environment. Social media can be a great teaching tool in contemporary schools, but
there are a number of issues (Mawhinney, 2013). Learners today think differently than students in
the past because they are digital natives (Myers, 2012). They frequently multitasking online and
communicate with others to discover solutions; this is expected of them. This is a skills also for 21st
century that must be taught in school of the present. Students have access to collaboration and
communication tools that improve learning. The disadvantages aren't exactly a recent issue. The
issues are merely taking on a new aspect, and by forbidding social media, school administrators are
not bringing an end to the issues. Students were utilized to using books, pens, and blackboards. Life
for students and learning methods have evolved. Students gain knowledge by connecting with others,
then use a range of information, and applying what they have learned (Bynum, 2011). Since learning
is constantly changing, it is crucial for schools to make advantage of the students' already acquired
The judges decided that all student might be disciplined by the school. They might prevent
them from engaging in student government, a privilege that might come with behavior requirements
as part of the agreement to join, despite the actions did never warrant a suspension from school. In
both cases, the Tinker standard was used. The courts found that the student intended for his or her
6
activities to cause a significant disturbance at the school (Conn, 2010). The courts determined that it
was within the student's rights if it did not show up that they would anticipated their activities to be
The National Labor Relations Board (2012) asserts that generating social media policies for
industries, as well as the suitable scope and content among those regulations, is so a major problem
that no less than has published a report analyzing legal cases in which employers' social media
policies were contested and offering advice for creating a legally compliant social media policy.
Utilizing social media in the learning process is on the rise and is likely to have implications for
educational practice and delivery, particularly in terms of connecting with students or colleagues,
accessing news, and making an appearance on walls.(Patel, 2016) Students look towards the
availability of knowledge on the internet in general and social media especially for solutions. As a
result, students who try to multitask during studying through browsing social media sites will
perform less well academically and will pay less attention to acquiring and remembering material.
Distractions caused by websites like YouTube, Stumble upon, Facebook, or Twitter greatly decrease
Future learning greatly benefits from understanding the impact of social media, Facebook,
and the internet on students' and lecturers' perceptions. If they are given the chance to include
assignments, feedback from 2 different interaction, and collaborative effort, both students and
lecturers can benefit from the new pedagogical potentials in learning English (S.M., Sariah, &
Hassan, 2013). As access to social media becomes more convenient, it has become a global
phenomenon. Teenagers appear to use these growing platforms most frequently. The possibility of
the school to step in and lessen the negative effects of cyberbullying on kids is the focus of this
article, which focuses on one aspect of social media advancements (McCarthy, 2012). Analysis may

Table 4.1.1 above shows setting up, that the majority of the response statements were highly
aware of statement 1 and 4 with a mean of (3.5), while statements 2 and 3 had a least response of 3.1
and a mean of 3.3 respectively. This means that the students are mostly aware of their personal
account and registered account. Also, some of the responses were moderately aware on chatroom or
The findings revealed that most 81% of teachers are concerned about the risks associated with
combining social media with their professional activities. Social media can provide privacy dangers,
but these risks can be controlled with thoughtful, deliberate use (Higgin, 2022).

alarming, and cause a lot of public interest. While these issues are worrying, it is important to
recognize that social media are a fact of life that cannot be changed. Teachers are taught to
understand how social media can be used to reduce crisis risks and to address them.

summarized. In setting up, indicates that the majority of the students were highly aware of statement
1 and 4, which pertained to personal and registered accounts, with an average mean of 3.5. However,
statements 2 and 3, which related to chat room or Facebook accounts limited to advisers or parents
and knowledge on disclaimers, received a lower response with an average mean of 3.1 and 3.3,
respectively. This suggests that the students have a good understanding of their personal and
The findings show that the students had moderate awareness regarding the posting of personal
information. Statements 1 and 3 received an average mean of 3.1, indicating moderate awareness.
Questions 4 and 10 had an average mean of 3.3, while questions 2, 5, 8, and 9 had an overall average
