| Abstract | This study was carried out to determine if the studentsâ academic performance is affected by their Internet usage. The study was conducted among three hundred eighty six (386) undergraduate students within Mindanao State University â Iligan Institute of Technology. The researchers framed a structured interview and a questionnaire yearning to gather all the information needed. The data collected from the respondents pointed out that there was no significant relationship between the respondentsâ academic performance and their Internet usage. Findings of the study also reveal that there was no significant relationship between the respondentsâ academic performance and the place where they have accessed the Internet. Another finding shows that there was no significant relationship between the respondentsâ academic performance and their purposes in using the Internet such as for Gaming, Social Networking, News, and Entertainment. There was, however, a significant relationship between the respondentsâ academic performance and their usage of Internet for academic purposes. From the results, the researchers recommend that Educators may encourage students to use the Internet by giving them assignments, projects, and online quizzes. |
