Abstract

This study explored the impact of TikTok usage on the reading comprehension skills of Grade 6 pupils at Bagong Buhay B Integrated School, City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. The study adopted a descriptive-correlational research design, employing quantitative methods to determine the relationship between the hours spent on TikTok and pupils’ reading comprehension skills in both Filipino and English. Data were collected from 34 Grade 6 pupils using validated questionnaires and Phil-IRI test results. Mann-Whitney U Test and Spearman correlation were used to analyze the data. Results revealed no significant difference in English and Filipino reading comprehension skills between high and low TikTok users. However, a significant negative correlation was found between the number of hours spent on TikTok and reading comprehension skills in Filipino. The findings suggest that excessive TikTok usage may affect pupils’ Filipino reading comprehension skills, implying the need to promote balanced digital consumption alongside traditional literacy skills development.
