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?
According to ebizma.com, the top 5 most visited sites are
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr.
This study will give us an insight of apparent effects of

social media platform to students productivity.

Chapter II
Review of Related Literature
- 14 -

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unpublished works and researchers on the internet.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.
- 14 -

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
- 14 -

public in a blog-like format or via e-mail, instant messaging,
voice or videoconferencing to selected members.
- 14 -

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 -

Performing different types of action could affect ones
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.

Chapter III
Research Design and Methodology
Chapter 3 consists of three parts: (1) Purpose of the Study

and Research Design, (2) Method, and (3) Statistical Data
Analysis Procedure.
Part One, Purpose of the Study and Research Design,
reiterates the reasons for conducting the study and illustrates
the research design.
Part Two, Method, describes the respondents of the study,
the instruments used, the methodology applied and the procedures
done for the data gathering.
Part Three, Statistical Analyses of Data, explains the
statistical tools for analyzing the data and the rationale of
using the abovementioned instrumentations.
- 14 -

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
4.
chocolates during the whole class hour(s)?

Do chocolates affect the mood or attitude of students
towards their performance rate in Mathematics?
- 14 -

Based on the foretasted problems, the following hypotheses are
formulated:
1. There is no important difference in the performance rate of
hour(s).
to eat chocolates during class hour(s).
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
In an experimental type of research, the changes in nature
as they happen should be observed and recorded. These changes
cannot be manipulated.
Method
- 14 -

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.
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
- 14 -

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.
- 14 -

Statistical Data Analysis Procedure
The following instrumentations shall prove to be useful in

getting necessary information for the benefit of this project.
A. ANOVA
a. a statistical method for making simultaneous
comparisons between two or more means; a statistical
method that yields values that can be tested to
determine whether a significant relation exists
between variables
B. Mean Deviation
a. The mean deviation is the measure of dispersion
equal to the mean of the absolute deviation from the
arithmetic mean.
C. Sample Variance
a. The sample variance is the difference between two
extremes of the data set. It is measured through the
use of an equation.
C. Test for the Goodness of Fit
- 14 -

a. The Test for the Goodness of Fit is a nonparametric
test for how well some observed frequency
distribution fits some theoretical distribution.
- 14 -

Chapter IV
Results
Chapter 4 consists of two parts: (1) Descriptive data

Analysis, and (2) Inferential Data Analysis.
Part One, Descriptive Data Analysis, describes the
perception of students to Mathematics as a subject and their
personal choice of chocolate and how long they were able to
consume it.
Part Two, Inferential Data Analysis, explains whether there
is significance or none in consuming chocolate during class with
the performance rate of students in Mathematics.
- 14 -

Descriptive Data Analysis
In this part, the data gathered from the administered

questionnaires are tabulated. Table 1 shows the summary of the
outcome gotten from the said instrumentation of the experimental
and controlled group; the legend for Tables 1 is presented in
Figure 2.
The gotten information shall be the main source of
preference of this research study. It shall be used to make
necessary tables and figures to better present it.

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
2.
during class hour(s)?

rate of students in Mathematics if they are given an
3.
allotted time to eat chocolates during class hour(s)?

rate of students in Mathematics if they are allowed to
4.
eat chocolates during the whole class hour(s)?

Do chocolates affect the mood or attitude of students
towards their performance rate in Mathematics?
- 14 -

The results of the study were the following:

1. There is an important difference in the performance rate of
hour(s).
to eat chocolates during class hour(s).
chocolates during the whole class hour(s).
4. The chocolates affect the mood or attitude of students
towards their performance rate in Mathematics.
- 14 -

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
ones 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
- 14 -

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
- 14 -

effectively in his Mathematical performance, he must eat
it before classes begin.
