Abstract

Poor academic performance in Social Studies is disturbing. This study aimed to determine the significance of study habits and social media usage as predictors of students’ academic performance in Social Studies. A sample of 140 students from Grade 10 is selected through simple random sampling. The results show that only social media usage, not study habits, significantly determines students’ academic performance, partially affirming the Theory of Planned Behavior. Future studies may be done to either support or negate the conclusion of this study.
